# remoteNotification

A key indicating that a remote notification is available for the app to process.

```
static let remoteNotification: UIApplication.LaunchOptionsKey
```

## Discussion

The value of this key is an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSDictionary> containing the payload of the remote notification. See the description of [`application(_:didReceiveRemoteNotification:)`](/documentation/UIKit/UIApplicationDelegate/application(_:didReceiveRemoteNotification:)) for further information about handling remote notifications.

This key is also used to access the same value in the `userInfo` dictionary of the notification named [`didFinishLaunchingNotification`](/documentation/UIKit/UIApplication/didFinishLaunchingNotification).
