PushNotifications iOS 7 not working when user taps on icon

Question

I have the methods below to handle push notifications. They work perfect when the app is running and I do receive notifications when the app is in the background. When a user taps the icon however it opens the app but my UICollection view is not reloaded the way it is when a user receives the notification when the app is running.

-(void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
    if (state == UIApplicationStateActive) {
        // do stuff when app is active
        NSString *cancelTitle = @"Close";
        NSString *showTitle = @"Ok";
        NSString *message = [[userInfo valueForKey:@"aps"] valueForKey:@"alert"];
        NSString *type = [userInfo objectForKey:@"type"];

        UIAlertView *alertView = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Linkedstar"
                                                            message:message
                                                           delegate:self
                                                  cancelButtonTitle:cancelTitle
                                                  otherButtonTitles:showTitle, nil];

        if([type isEqualToString:@"message"]) {
            alertView.tag = alertMessage;
        }
        else if([type isEqualToString:@"post"]) {
            alertView.tag = post;
        }
        else if([type isEqualToString:@"contact"]) {
            alertView.tag = contact;
        }

        [alertView show];

        [self presentViewForPush:userInfo updateUI:YES];
    }
    else
    {
        // do stuff when app is in background
        NSLog(@"Received notification: %@", userInfo);
        [self handlePush:userInfo updateUI:YES];
    }
}

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    NSDictionary *pushDict = [launchOptions objectForKey:UIApplicationLaunchOptionsRemoteNotificationKey];
    if(pushDict)
    {
        [self handlePush:pushDict updateUI:YES];
    }
}

I need help figuring out how to handle the launchOptions data when the user taps on the icon.I have tried a couple of different options after doing some research online and non worked. any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Have you read this Scheduling, Registering, and Handling Notifications

If the action button is tapped (on a device running iOS), the system launches the application and the application calls its delegate’s application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: method (if implemented); it passes in the notification payload (for remote notifications) or the local-notification object (for local notifications).

If the application icon is tapped on a device running iOS, the application calls the same method, but furnishes no information about the notification
