Thanks for Help I have worked it out I thought that the launch options were passed to the application even if the app was in the background but that is not the case if application is in background and a local notification comes in the application delegates has the didReceiveLocalNotification method called I thought that was call when application was in foreground and when in the background application did launch with options was called but the options only has the local notification key when the app is closed (not in background) and the notification is call to start up the application.
so if ay one else has te same issue make sure you use

-(void) application:(UIApplication *)application 
            didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification  

method when you click your action button on the local notification alert to run and actions when you open your application from that notification alert button.
