(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo {

NSString *stringNotify = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[[[userInfo valueForKey:@"aps"] valueForKey:@"alert"] valueForKey:@"body"]];

NSLog(@"the dictionary is %@",userInfo);

UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Notification" message:stringNotify delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil, nil]; [alertView show];

}

I have created a custom Notification, which will help you to show notification when your app is in foreground. Check the following link iOSForegroundNotification and follow the steps given below:

Copy SNotificationView.h and SNotificationView.m in files in your project.
If you are using swift then add #import "SNotificationView.h" to your Bridging-Header.h file.
Copy "Glass.mp3" file for the notification sound.
You have replace/add you appicon image to "image.png".

You have add the following lines in your AppDelegate file:

let settings = UIApplication.sharedApplication().currentUserNotificationSettings()
  if let aps = userInfo["aps"] as? NSDictionary {
    if let alert = aps["alert"] as? NSDictionary {


        if let message = alert["message"] as? NSString {

            prefs.setObject(message, forKey: "notification")
            prefs.synchronize()
            print("Message: \( message)\n")
        }
    } else if let alert = aps["alert"] as? NSString {

        // Push notification message is added in NSUserDefault
        prefs.setObject(alert, forKey: "notification")
        prefs.synchronize()

      if (application.applicationState == UIApplicationState.Active ) {

         if settings?.types & UIUserNotificationType.Alert != nil {
                // .Alert is one of the valid options
               // If you want to add the badge add the line below

                 UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationIconBadgeNumber = UIApplication.sharedApplication().applicationIconBadgeNumber + 1

                //Call the custom Notification

                NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().postNotificationName("remotenotification", object: nil)

            }
            else
            {
                // This part will be called if you app notification is set to "NONE"
                print("No alert   ")
            }
         }
    }

Add the following function for all your ViewController

func callNotification()
{
    let prefs = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
    let alert = prefs.stringForKey("notification")!

    SNotificationView.showNotificationViewWithImage(UIImage(named:"image.png"), title: "XcodeProject", message: alert, isAutoHide: true, onTouch: {        
    SNotificationView.hideNotificationViewOnComplete(nil)

    })
}

Add the following line in your viewDidLoad

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

Hope this might be helpful
