Question

I’m trying to perform some task when a user gets a push notification and presses VIEW. I don’t want the app to just launch like it normally does, I want to perform some other task.

What method gets called when the user gets a push and presses VIEW?? didFinishLaunchingWithOptions doesn’t seem to get called (not on iPhone 4 anyways).

I basically want something to happen when a user presses VIEW, and only when they press VIEW.

Thanks.

Are you sure application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: is not being called? Normally you can tell that your app was launched from the user clicking on the view button of a remote push notification by inspecting the launchOptions parameter.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    NSDictionary *pushInfo = [launchOptions valueForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];  
    if (pushInfo)  
    {
        // app was launched from a remote push notification
    }
}
