# NSApplicationLaunchRemoteNotificationKey

Use this key to access the JSON push-notification payload from the user info dictionary of the `didFinishLaunchingNotification` notification.

```
extern NSString * const NSApplicationLaunchRemoteNotificationKey;
```

## Discussion> Deprecated: Use ``doc://com.apple.appkit/documentation/AppKit/NSApplication/launchUserNotificationUserInfoKey`` instead.

The [`didFinishLaunchingNotification`](/documentation/AppKit/NSApplication/didFinishLaunchingNotification) notification is passed into the delegate method [`applicationDidFinishLaunching(_:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSApplicationDelegate/applicationDidFinishLaunching(_:)) declared by the [`NSApplicationDelegate`](/documentation/AppKit/NSApplicationDelegate) protocol to handle this notification.
