Unable to get push (remote) notification when app icon tapped

According to the Local and Remote Notification Programming Guide, when a remote notification is delivered and you tap the app icon in the SpringBoard:

The user taps the default button in the alert or taps (or clicks) the app icon. If the default action button is tapped (on a device running iOS), the system launches the app and the app calls its delegate’s application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method, passing in the notification payload (for remote notifications) or the local-notification object (for local notifications).

If the notification is remote, the system also calls application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler:.

However, when I see the remote notification badge and I tap the app icon, neither application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: (app would be running in background), nor application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:, nor application:didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler: are called...

I successfully get the push notification's payload when tapping a banner or an alert, how could I also get it when tapping the app icon?

Thanks

You need to continue reading. The remainder of the section you quoted reads -

If the app icon is clicked on a computer running OS X, the app calls the delegate’s applicationDidFinishLaunching: method in which the delegate can obtain the remote-notification payload. If the app icon is tapped on a device running iOS, the app calls the same method, but furnishes no information about the notification.

Note the section I bolded. The short answer is that if the application is launched from the app icon then no information is provided about any notifications that may have been received.

I'm running into the same issue and unfortunately like Paulw11 said, your app will receive no information on the payload. However! I have noticed that the badge number will reflect the missed notitfication, so on app launch you can check if your applicationBadgeNumber != 0 and if it is not, you can query your server for the last data that was sent.
