The selected answer's solution did not work for me as of current iOS v8.x. But @Andy offer a solution and I will complete:

Subclass the UISegmentedControl, and overwrite touchesEnded method in the subclass:

-(void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
    [self sendActionsForControlEvents:UIControlEventAllTouchEvents];
    [super touchesEnded:touches withEvent:event];
}

In the class where you intend to use the UISegmentedControl, create an iVar currentSelectedSegIndex. Add the UIControlEventAllTouchEvents beside your UIControlEventValueChanged action methods:

NSInteger currentSelectedSegIndex;

[aSegmentedController addTarget:self action:@selector(aSegmentedControllerSelection:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventValueChanged];
[aSegmentedController addTarget:self action:@selector(aSegmentedControllerAllTouchEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventAllTouchEvents];

Implement the two action methods:

-(void)aSegmentedControllerAllTouchEvent:(MyUISegmentedControl *)seg
{
    seg.selectedSegmentIndex = UISegmentedControlNoSegment;
}
-(void)aSegmentedControllerSelection:(MyUISegmentedControl *)seg
{
    if (currentSelectedSegIndex == seg.selectedSegmentIndex)
    {
        seg.selectedSegmentIndex = UISegmentedControlNoSegment;
        currentSelectedSegIndex = NSIntegerMax;
        NSLog(@"%s Deselected.", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__);
        // do your stuff if deselected
        return;
    }
    NSLog(@"%s Selected index:%u", __PRETTY_FUNCTION__, seg.selectedSegmentIndex);
    currentSelectedSegIndex = seg.selectedSegmentIndex;
    //do your stuff if selected index
}
