The first google result for "ios api charging": http://iosdevelopertips.com/device/display-battery-state-and-level-of-charge.html – Evan Trimboli Apr 08 '13 at 05:51

@EvanTrimboli That article is not relevant. OP wants to distinguish the type of charge being received (via USB, or via a wall charger). – borrrden Apr 08 '13 at 05:53

From UIDevice Class reference
UIDeviceBatteryStateDidChangeNotification
Posted when battery state changes.
For this notification to be sent, you must set the batteryMonitoringEnabled property to YES.
You can obtain the battery state by getting the value of the batteryState property.
When you receive the notification have to check for
UIDeviceBatteryState == UIDeviceBatteryStateUnplugged
The enum
UIDeviceBatteryState
The battery power state of the device.
typedef enum {
UIDeviceBatteryStateUnknown,
UIDeviceBatteryStateUnplugged,
UIDeviceBatteryStateCharging,
UIDeviceBatteryStateFull,
} UIDeviceBatteryState;

It's just not possible - and there's probably no good reason to depend on it.
Think of many different types of computers, switched on and off, with software installed and without, users logged in or logged out, and hundreds of different charger models, usb hubs, even screens come with usb.
