You can check for the state of the UIApplication. Just do a check like this

 - (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo 
{

    UIApplicationState state = [application applicationState];
    if (state == UIApplicationStateActive)
    {

            UIAlertView *alert = [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"xxx" message:yourMessage delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"Done" otherButtonTitles: @"Anzeigen", nil] autorelease];
            [alert setTag: 2];
            [alert show];
    }
    else {
        // Push Notification received in the background
    }
}
