Question

When my app receives a notification it handles it like this opening a specific view:

    UILocalNotification *localNotif = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsLocalNotificationKey];
    if (localNotif) {
        NSLog(@"Recieved Notification  didFinishLaunchingWithOptions %@",localNotif);
        [theLastPresentedViewController presentViewController:myVC animated:YES completion:nil];
    }

Basically my question is how to get access to the last presented ViewController theLastPresentedViewController so I can present myView on top of it ?

While the app uses a tabBarViewController as the basis, I present other viewControllers on top of other views so there is no way to know which ViewController has beed presented as the last one.

Do I have to manually remember each ViewController I present, so when the app launches I can access the last one or is there a way to directly access the last visible viewController of the app ?

Since the user can just press the HOME Button and exit the app there is no way to know which view was shown at this moment. It would also be OK to dismiss all these views from the stack until the tabBarViewController is reached.

Many thanks!

I found this to access the top most window/view:

[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] addSubview:someView]
