Handle widget click action when iOS app in foreground

When the widget is clicked I can handle using the following method if the app is not running-

(BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application handleOpenURL:(NSURL *)url

But if the app is in the background how to handle the action?

handleOpenURL will be called no matter if App is in the background mode or not.

Official document:
If a URL arrives while your app is suspended or running in the background, the system moves your app to the foreground prior to calling this method.

And what influences the calling:

This method is not called if the delegate returns NO from both the application:willFinishLaunchingWithOptions: and application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions: methods. (If only one of the two methods is implemented, its return value determines whether this method is called.) If your app implements the applicationDidFinishLaunching: method instead of application:didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:, this method is called to open the specified URL after the app has been initialized.

And it's better to use following method since iOS9.0:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)app openURL:(NSURL *)url options:(NSDictionary<UIApplicationOpenURLOptionsKey, id> *)options NS_AVAILABLE_IOS(9_0);
