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 ?
