-(void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application in your application delegate will be called. Check this blog post with chart that describes in detail what messages will be sent during launch, termination and when transitioning between background and foreground.

The method applicationWillTerminate gets called when your application is being shut down. But the applicationDidEnterBackground/applicationWillResignActive methods are (now) infinitely more useful.

The method relating to application lifecycle are UIApplicationDelegate methods. The two you want are: 

- (void)applicationWillTerminate:(UIApplication *)application
- (void)applicationDidEnterBackground:(UIApplication *)application

If on a multitasking device, applicationDidEnterBackground: will be called instead of applicationWillTerminate:. In most cases, you can perform the same code in both callbacks.
