iOS Push notification problem when app is closed

Hi, i've setup push notifications for a chat on my app using parse, the notifications are coming and i can handle them when the app is open and when the app is open in the background.

My problem is when i get a new notification and the app is closed, the app execute the same action as if it was open, my problem here is that when the app is closed i want the app to take the user to the chat view but if the app is open only show an alert. My code in my app delegate is this:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    if (launchOptions != nil)
    {
        if ([PFUser currentUser]) {
        NSDictionary *dict = launchOptions[UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
        NSString *oID = [dict objectForKey:@"d"][@"objectId"];
            [self addMessageFromRemoteNotification:oID updateUI:YES];
        }
    }
        return YES;
        }

and

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))handler {
        ...
        UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
        if (state == UIApplicationStateInactive || state == UIApplicationStateBackground) {
            NSLog(@"inactive");
            [self addMessageFromRemoteNotification:userInfo[@"d"][@"objectId"] updateUI:YES];

        } else {
        [PFPush handlePush:userInfo];
         }
}
