Here're some class/static functions in swift that I keep in a Utility class and can help you:

// Returns the most recently presented UIViewController (visible)
class func getCurrentViewController() -> UIViewController? {

    // If the root view is a navigation controller, we can just return the visible ViewController
    if let navigationController = getNavigationController() {

        return navigationController.visibleViewController
    }

    // Otherwise, we must get the root UIViewController and iterate through presented views
    if let rootController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController {

        var currentController: UIViewController! = rootController

        // Each ViewController keeps track of the view it has presented, so we
        // can move from the head to the tail, which will always be the current view
        while( currentController.presentedViewController != nil ) {

            currentController = currentController.presentedViewController
        }
        return currentController
    }
    return nil
}

// Returns the navigation controller if it exists
class func getNavigationController() -> UINavigationController? {

    if let navigationController = UIApplication.shared.keyWindow?.rootViewController  {

        return navigationController as? UINavigationController
    }
    return nil
}
