push notification in foreground

Question

I have an application with ability to receive Push Notifications.

When the application is in background mode push notification shows well, but if the application is in foreground mode I want to show my custom view with information from userInfo.

How can I notify any viewController from my appDelegate didReceiveRemoteNotification to show this custom view and send userInfo dictionary there?

Can someone help me with my problem?

it is enough to notify the root navigation- or tab bar- or split view controller... and how? maybe post a notification to them...? — holex, Oct 23 '15 at 13:24
If you want to add a custom View then you can simply add it to Window like this [[UIApplication sharedApplication].keyWindow addSubview:overlayView]; no Need to Inform any other View Controller — Muhammad Waqas Bhati, Oct 23 '15 at 13:25

You could send out a notification and then the viewControllers that you want to be alerted can have observers for them:

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("nameOfNotification", object: yourVariableContainingUserInfo)

Can you add observers like so:

NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "nameOfNotification:", name: "nameOfNotification", object: nil)

And your selector would look something like this:

func nameOfNotification(notification: NSNotification) {
    if let dict = notification.object as? NSDictionary {
        //user your userInfo dictionary here
    }
}

You can use NSNotificationCenter to notify your viewcotroller from the didReceiveRemoteNotification. Then you can show custom view as you want with the userinfo dictionary passed in that NSNotificationCenter method .
