Detect if application: didReceiveRemoteNotification: fetchCompletionHandler: was called by tapping on a notification in Notification Center

Question

application: didReceiveRemoteNotification: fetchCompletionHandler:

is different from

application: didReceiveRemoteNotification:
         


        

Answer 1

In case of swift

func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject]) {

    let state : UIApplicationState = application.applicationState
    if (state == .Inactive || state == .Background) {
        // go to screen relevant to Notification content
    } else {
        // App is in UIApplicationStateActive (running in foreground)
    }
}

Answer 2

You could check the UIApplication's applicationState to distinguish silent calls from calls made with the application being actively used by the user:

typedef enum : NSInteger {
   UIApplicationStateActive,
   UIApplicationStateInactive,
   UIApplicationStateBackground
} UIApplicationState;

Or keep your own flag set on the delegate's applicationDidEnterBackground:.
