You can handle push notification like

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    NSDictionary *pushNotification = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
    if (pushNotification) {
        //Application did started by clicking push notification. Do whatever you want to do
    }

  ....//Your rest code
  ....
}

Some times application is in active state and still we want to handle push notification than below method will be called

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    //Application did receive push notification. Do whatever you want to do
}
