You'll have to use the "userInfo" variant and pass a NSDictionary object that contains the messageTotal integer:

NSDictionary* userInfo = @{@"total": @(messageTotal)};

NSNotificationCenter* nc = [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter];
[nc postNotificationName:@"eRXReceived" object:self userInfo:userInfo];

On the receiving end you can access the userInfo dictionary as follows:

-(void) receiveTestNotification:(NSNotification*)notification
{
    if ([notification.name isEqualToString:@"TestNotification"])
    {
        NSDictionary* userInfo = notification.userInfo;
        NSNumber* total = (NSNumber*)userInfo[@"total"];
        NSLog (@"Successfully received test notification! %i", total.intValue);
    }
}
