Question

After I send a push notification I want the app to open on my inbox page so the user can see the new messages on the inbox. I have the following code in my AppDelegate

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo{

    [self.tabController setSelectedIndex:2]; 
}

When I send a push message and the phone is active it goes straight there without warning. I know thats what it is supposed to do with my code but is there a way to change it like so

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo{

    if(app.isActive == FALSE)
          [self.tabController setSelectedIndex:2]; 
}

Any insight on this will help greatly. Thanks!

From Stanislav Yaglo, Objective C: How to check if application is currently active (i.e. user is using it)? :

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {

    if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive) {
        // For example, update the tab bar
    }
    else {
        self.tabController.selectedIndex = 3;
    }
}

Hope it helps !
