iOS Handling a Notification

Posted by Chad Murdock

I want to be able to quit the app have some variables present when a notification is tapped

I was able to get the desired viewcontrollers to appear with the desired variables ie:

app running in background
notification pops up: How many wheels do bicycles have? loads NotiViewController with: Bicycles have 2 wheels.

while the app was running in the background, but if I quit the app the, Int variable, that selected the text for the body of the notification, gets lost and the desired viewcontroller loads but shows text that doesn't match with what was in the notification body. This is my current situation:

quits app
notification pops up: How many wheels do bicycles have? loads NotiViewController with: There are 48 states in the contiguous United States.

Is there a way to save the states of certain variables so there are ready to be plugged in where needed, just as if the user never quit the app?
