Answer 1

Note : This has been tested and working 100% percent

Swift

override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool){
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.navigationController!.viewControllers.contains(self) == false  //any other hierarchy compare if it contains self or not
    {
        // the view has been removed from the navigation stack or hierarchy, back is probably the cause
        // this will be slow with a large stack however.

        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self)
    }
}

PresentedViewController

override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool){
    super.viewWillDisappear(animated)

    if self.isBeingDismissed()  //presented view controller
    {
        // remove observer here
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self)
    }
}

Objective-C

In iOS 6.0 > version , its better to remove observer in viewWillDisappear as viewDidUnload method is deprecated.

 [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:observerObjectHere];

There is many times its better to remove observer when the view has been removed from the navigation stack or hierarchy.

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
 if (![[self.navigationController viewControllers] containsObject: self]) //any other hierarchy compare if it contains self or not
    {
        // the view has been removed from the navigation stack or hierarchy, back is probably the cause
        // this will be slow with a large stack however.

        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:observerObjectHere];
    }
}

PresentedViewController

- (void)viewWillDisappear:(BOOL)animated{
    if ([self isBeingDismissed] == YES) ///presented view controller
    {
        // remove observer here
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] removeObserver:observerObjectHere];
    }
}
