One solution is to override UINavigationController and add a weak property for the controller A. Then you can access that property from the controller B, and get its class name.

Try this

if ([self.navigationController.presentingViewController isKindOfClass:[ViewControllerA class]){
       //do stuff
    }
    else{
       //it's view controller b, do stuff
    }
