So I had a post on my Google+ (I know that was my reaction too) page from a user who was having trouble with UPS, user-data, and Android.  I'm not sure WHERE his problem is, but I will describe it here and we can discuss further.

Let's say we send the following to UPS using the sender API : 

{

     "message": {

"alert" : "Remote service failed. View FAQs.",

"sound": "default",

"badge": -1,

"user-data": {

"SXM": {

"CATEGORY" : "SERVICE",

"SERVICETYPE": "Remote",

"SRID": "BB4FC7F0-15E9-11E6-9F41-0050569C3256",

"APPCONTENT": "UNKNOWN",

"STATUS": "FAIL",

"STATUSCHANGE_DATETIME": "UNKNOWN",

"URL": "XYZABC.com"

}

}

     }

   }

Android will receive the following message bundle from Google : 

Bundle[

  {aerogear-push-id=3f2b9477-fc9e-463a-94d7-d62bf55706e1, 

   SXM={CATEGORY=SERVICE, SERVICETYPE=Remote, SRID=BB4FC7F0-15E9-11E6-9F41-0050569C3256, APPCONTENT=UNKNOWN, STATUS=FAIL, STATUSCHANGE_DATETIME=UNKNOWN, URL=XYZABC.com}, 

   alert=Remote service failed. View FAQs., 

   badge=-1, 

   sound=default,  

   collapse_key=do_not_collapse}

]

As we can see, several things have happened.  1) user-data has been rolled up into a root element, and the SXM root object's JSON body has been stripped of its jsonness.  IDEALLY we would be able to keep the body of userdata as a string for user's to handle themselves.  

I THINK this is an issue with how UPS converts the message for sending to GCM, but i haven't researched that far.
