Not out of the box, but you could add the category manually when sending and then the client can read it.

See here: https://aerogear.org/docs/unifiedpush/push-message-format/ or here https://aerogear.org/docs/unifiedpush/push-message-format-dev/ depending on your version you can add user defined keys to the message (someKey, anotherCustomKey)

If you put your category there as well the client will get it when it receives the message.
