Question

When I receive a Push Notification, I want to jump to the middle tab on the tabbar and reset the tab (it has multiple table views that the user may have navigated into). I am able to jump to the tab using tabBarController.selectedIndex = 1; … but how do I reset to the first view?

Answer 1

Implement UITabBarControllerDelegate on a controller class (perhaps your app delegate) and implement tabBarController:didSelectViewController: to pop all pushed view controllers off the navigation stack:

- (void) tabBarController:(UITabBarController *) tabBarController didSelectViewController:(UIViewController *) viewController {
    if([viewController isKindOfClass:[UINavigationController class]])
    {
        [(UINavigationController *)viewController popToRootViewControllerAnimated:YES];
    }
}
