I already added left and right bar button now I want to add 2 more in the left side of navigation bar.

UINavigationItem Class Reference having property of leftBarButtonItems and rightBarButtonItems so you can add multiple UIBarButtonItem in your navigation control using following example code:

 UIBarButtonItem *FirstButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] 
                               initWithTitle:@"First"                                            
                               style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                               target:self 
                               action:@selector(AcionFirst:)];

   UIBarButtonItem *secondButton = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] 
                               initWithTitle:@"Second"                                            
                               style:UIBarButtonItemStyleBordered 
                               target:self 
                               action:@selector(AcionSecond:)];


   self.navigationItem.leftBarButtonItems= [NSArray arrayWithObjects:FirstButton,secondButton,nil];


-(void)AcionFirst:(id)sender
{  
    //do something for first bar button

}

-(void)AcionSecond:(id)sender
{
    //do something for second bar button
}
