Handling Push Notifications when App is Terminated

1) When application is running in background and When application is running in foreground
application:didReceiveRemoteNotification: method will called as below.

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateInactive)
    {
        // opened from a push notification when the app was on background
        NSLog(@"userInfo->%@", [userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"]);
    }
    else if(application.applicationState == UIApplicationStateActive)
    {
        // a push notification when the app is running. So that you can display an alert and push in any view
        NSLog(@"userInfo->%@", [userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"]);
    }
}

2) When application is not launched (close) then application:didFinishedLaunchingWithOptions method will called.

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    if (launchOptions != nil)
    {
        // opened from a push notification when the app is closed
        NSDictionary* userInfo = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
        if (userInfo != nil)
        {
             NSLog(@"userInfo->%@", [userInfo objectForKey:@"aps"]);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // opened app without a push notification.
    }
}

3) There is no way to remove a specific notification as of. The way to remove all the notifications from your app so they don’t show in the Notification Center when the user opens the app from one of them, is to set the app badge to 0.
