Getting reference to the top-most view/window in iOS application

I'm creating a reusable framework for displaying notifications in an iOS application. I'd like the notification views to be added over the top of everything else in the application, sort of like a UIAlertView. When I init the manager that listens for NSNotification events and adds views in response, I need to get a reference to the top-most view in the application. This is what I have at the moment:

_topView = [[[[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow] subviews] lastObject];

Would this work for any iOS application or is their a safer/better way to get the top view?

UIWindow *keyWindow = [[UIApplication sharedApplication] keyWindow];
if (![NSStringFromClass([keyWindow class]) isEqualToString:@"UIWindow"]) {

    NSArray *windows = [UIApplication sharedApplication].windows;
    for (UIWindow *window in windows) {
        if ([NSStringFromClass([window class]) isEqualToString:@"UIWindow"]) {
            keyWindow = window;
            break;
        }
    }
}
