GC - Responding to Match Notifications

What is the supported mechanism to respond to match notifications in Corona SDK? Specifically, if I’m having a real time turn by turn game as demonstrated by the sample app, Gem Wars all is well as long as both parties have the app open at the same time.

If one side takes a move while the other side does not have the app running then the side who now needs to play gets a GC notification and the app banner number is incremented. All good. Using Gem Wars as example, when I go back to the app and go to Join Game I can see the GC window which shows me its my turn so I can go back to the game.

How could I improve Gem Wars so that if there is a pending turn notification it can go straight into the particular game?

I’m thinking I can use  storyboard.gn.request(“loadMatches”) at resume and look for a game where my action is needed and jump right into it. Is this how CL would recommend handling this need or is there a more streamlined what of going about it?

Thank you very much for the input.
