TableView not reloading

I am designing a one-to-one chatting interface using table view. This table view is modified to show bubbles as some new message arrives. The new message arrives through a push-notification in this case. I call following code in my function which receives message through the push notification: 

-(void)messageReceived: (NSString *)message{
    _message=[message retain];
    [tableView reloadData];
}

However, it seems this does not reload my table view. If I place the call for reloadData in the viewDidAppear function, it reloads fine. It also reloads fine, if I place the reloadData call in a function whose return type is IBAction (ex: a function binding to button click)

What could be the reason for reloadData to not get triggered through custom declared functions ?

may be you have not Connect the Tableview with table view Delegates and Datasource

Objective-C

@interface YourClass : UIViewController <UITextFieldDelegate, UITextViewDelegate>

yourtableview.delegate = self;
yourtableview.dataSource = self;

[tableView reloadData];

Swift 3

class YourClass: UIViewController , UITableViewDelegate, UITableViewDataSource
yourtableview.delegate = self
yourtableview.dataSource = self

yourtableview.reloadData()

the other way is! for Swift and Objective-C both. Right Click on the Table view and drag and drop the delegates.

reloaddata method is called but the trick here that you didn't add the incoming message to the datasource that the tableview load from !
