Yes and No. You can add an alias from this device on registration and send
a message to this alias.
Right! and, as a little 'work-around', you cold store the registrationID on
the alias value - That way you can send to a specific device, leveraging
the 'alias' feature ;-)

So, talking about android land, is not an AeroGear responsibility display
the message received from UPS.
AeroGear provides a BroadcastReceiver[1] implementation. That
automatically handles/parse/whatever and dispatch it to one (or more)
MessageHandler[2],
You (I mean developer) need create and declare MessageHandler. You can
declare a MessageHandler directly in AndroidManifest[3] or do it
programatically[4][5]
Your MessageHander is responsable by display the message (or do something
in background) using the best way to this
Hope this help you
