You can use shouldSelect rather than didSelect, which would omit the need for an external variable to keep track of the previous view controller.

- (BOOL)tabBarController:(UITabBarController *)tabBarController shouldSelectViewController:(UIViewController *)viewController
{
    if ([viewController isEqual:self] && [tabBarController.selectedViewController isEqual:viewController]) {
        // Do custom stuff here
    }
    return YES;
}
