[aerogear-dev] Possible to send anything other than version number to simple push?

[Lucas Holmquist]

SimplePush works only as a "door bell" to tell your app,  hey,  you should go look on your server.

this is the spec  https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/SimplePush

Can a simple push client receive anything else other than version numbers?  If so, what does the sender need to do, and what does the client need to do?  (If there is a good example somewhere online I can work from that also.)

Or, in general it'd be nice if I can send more information than just a monotonically increasing number.
