You should do it like this:
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(getItems:) name:kgotNotification object:nil];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:kgotNotification object:self userInfo:dictionary];
Then your getItems Method:
-(void)getItems:(NSNotification* )note
{
NSLog(@"UserInfo: %@", note.userInfo);
}
