NSNotificationCenter+Threads.m

@implementation NSNotificationCenter (Threads)

{
    [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(postNotification:) withObject:notification waitUntilDone:NO];
}

-(void)postNotificationNameOnMainThread:(NSString *)name object:(id)object
{
    [self postNotificationNameOnMainThread:name object:object userInfo:nil];
}

-(void)postNotificationNameOnMainThread:(NSString *)name object:(id)object userInfo:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
{
    dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
        [self postNotificationName:name object:object userInfo:userInfo];
    });
}
