Hello
I am testing aerogear for a project of mine . Able to send alerts .
Here are couple of questions
1. Can I send alerts based on a deviceId?
Yes and No. You can add an alias from this device on registration and send
a message to this alias.
2. alerts is visible in the notifications panel in android . when i
select
the alert , it takes me to the app . and when the app is active displays
the
alert dialog on top of the app . can i disable this? when the app is not
active , alert is not displayed on the app screen.
3. Can i customize the alert as it displays on the screen.
4. Does aerogear support rich media notifications to be displayed on
homescreen. If not is there a plan to add this 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

Thanks and to be honest , aerogear makes it super simple to send out
notifications .I still need to figure out if i can send messages by
deviceId as that is my key requirement.
Glad to know that and thanks for trying out the UPS
