Today-Extension call specific ViewController in App

In my today-extension I use the following code to launch my app:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"hdb://"];

[[self extensionContext] openURL:url completionHandler:nil];

Is it possible to call a specific ViewController to be displayed after launching the app? In my app all ViewControllers are called with their segues like:

[self.mainSlideMenu.leftMenu performSegueWithIdentifier:@"NewsPhoneSegue" sender:self];

I solved it by writing in the today-extension a Int in the UserDefaults which I get now from my downloaded xml-file and in my first VC of the app I check the value by "case". So case 0 the app launches as required by the settings, case 1 the app launches with the News, case 2 with other view and so on. In each case I added to reset the Int to 0 otherwise when launching the app by the icon my settings are ignored because the value is stored from the last time the extension was used.

The code in the today-extension before the openURL is called:

NSString *ZwischenZiel = [[self.todayParser.todayArray objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] View];

NSInteger Ziel = [ZwischenZiel integerValue];

NSUserDefaults *sharedDefaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.com.company.HdB"];

[sharedDefaults setInteger:Ziel forKey:@"ViewValue"];

[sharedDefaults synchronize];

and in the first viewController in the app:

NSUserDefaults *sharedDefaults = [[NSUserDefaults alloc] initWithSuiteName:@"group.com.company.HdB"];

NSInteger Wert = [sharedDefaults integerForKey:@"ViewValue"];

switch (Wert) {
    case 0:
        //if-else for passing the right segue respecting settings


    if ([manualStartSeite isEqual:@"lalala"]) {

        [self.mainSlideMenu.leftMenu performSegueWithIdentifier:@"lalalaPhoneSegue" sender:self];

    } else {


    }

    break;

case 1:
    //News
    [self.mainSlideMenu.leftMenu performSegueWithIdentifier:@"NewsPhoneSegue" sender:self];

    [sharedDefaults setInteger:0 forKey:@"ViewValue"];

    [sharedDefaults synchronize];

    break;

case 2:

If I did understand what you are asking, you can create a view controller at the very begging of your app and in its viewwillappear you can call perform segue with identifier method to call your specific view controller. Hope it helps.
