[aerogear-dev] [Push] Notification Actions (iOS8)

[Matthias Wessendorf]

Hi,

as Corinne mentioned on a different thread, w/ iOS8 Apple introduces new
UIUserNotificationActions, that can be grouped into a category
(UIUserNotificationCategory).

For remote notifications (aka push) those actions can be trigger by sending
this JSON payload to APNs:

aps {
  alert: {...},
  category: "SOMETHING"
}


I'd like to add that feature to the UnifiedPush Server and the Java/Node
Senders.

Our own message format (see [2]) has already a categoies element, but that
is used for filtering/tagging; That element is NOT related to the actual
payload of the message (which the apple action/category is all about).

Now, I'd like to introduce an "action-category" element inside of the
"message" object, like:

message: {
  .......
  "alert":"HELLO!",
  .......
  "action-category":"SOMETHING"
}

This value will be send down to the actual device (by Apple) as part of the
message. The name is perhaps a bit Apple-oriented, but I think it may fit
other platforms as well...

Looks like Summers/Passos want to do similar for Android (see [3]).

What do you think ?
