We need to send data to the page after clicking :

let instanceId = userInfo["gcm.notification.instanceId"]
let productId =  userInfo["gcm.notification.productId"]

let obj = NotificationModel()
obj.instanceId = instanceId as! String
obj.productId = productId as! String
obj.providerType = ProviderType.FIREBASE
obj.type = NotificationType.CLICK
SegmentifyManager.sharedManager().sendNotificationInteraction(segmentifyObject: obj)                

instanceId and productId will be in the notification data
