You should add something like this to your code :

    - (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary
    *)launchOptions {

        NSDictionary *remoteNotif = [launchOptions objectForKey: UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];

        //Accept push notification when app is not open
        if (remoteNotif) {      
            [self handleRemoteNotification:application userInfo:remoteNotif];
            return YES;
        }

        return YES;
    }

You can move the logic from didReceiveRemoteNotification to some common function and call that function from both places. This will only work if the user open the app by tapping the notification. If the user opens the app by tapping the app icon, the notification data won't reach the app.
