Here's my complete solution:

CustomTableView.h

//
//  CustomTableView.h
//

#import 

@interface CustomTableView : UITableView

    // Nothing needed here

@end

CustomTableView.m

//
//  CustomTableView.m
//

#import "CustomTableView.h"

@implementation CustomTableView


//
// Touch event ended
//
- (void)touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{

    // For each event received
    for (UITouch * touch in touches) {

        NSIndexPath * indexPath = [self indexPathForRowAtPoint: [touch locationInView:self] ];

        // One tap happened
        if([touch tapCount] == 1)
        {
            // Call the single tap method after a delay
            [self performSelector: @selector(singleTapReceived:)
                       withObject: indexPath
                       afterDelay: 0.3];
        }


        // Two taps happened
        else if ([touch tapCount] == 2)
        {
            // Cancel the delayed call to the single tap method
            [NSObject cancelPreviousPerformRequestsWithTarget: self
                                                     selector: @selector(singleTapReceived:)
                                                       object: indexPath ];

            // Call the double tap method instead
            [self performSelector: @selector(doubleTapReceived:)
                       withObject: indexPath ];
        }


    }

    // Pass the event to super
    [super touchesEnded: touches
              withEvent: event];

}


//
// Single Tap
//
-(void) singleTapReceived:(NSIndexPath *) indexPath
{
    NSLog(@"singleTapReceived - row: %ld",(long)indexPath.row);
}


//
// Double Tap
//
-(void) doubleTapReceived:(NSIndexPath *) indexPath
{
    NSLog(@"doubleTapReceived - row: %ld",(long)indexPath.row);
}
