Fear not fans of other platforms as subsequent releases will have more features for your OS of choice. In fact release 1.3.0 will center around iOS9 support.
Embed a large picture in your notification. You let the plugin know you want to display a picture by setting the style of the push to picture and then giving it a picture property.
For example:
{
title:"Big Picture",
message: "This is my big picture message",
style: "picture",
picture: "http://36.media.tumblr.com/c066cc2238103856c9ac506faa6f3bc2/tumblr_nmstmqtuo81tssmyno1_1280.jpg",
summaryText: "The internet is built on cat pictures"
}
Produces the cat picture on the right.
Instead of stacking notifications in the tray you can now add multiple notifications to a single entry in the tray by setting the style to inbox. The first notification that arrives looks like normal but the subsequent ones will look like an inbox.
For example:
{
title:"My Title",
message: "My first message",
style: "inbox",
summaryText: "There are %n% notifications"
}
Followed by:
{
title:"My Title",
message: "My second message",
style: "inbox",
summaryText: "There are %n% notifications"
}
Produces the notification above.Action Buttons
Your notification can include action buttons. If you wish to include an icon along with the button name they must be placed in the res/drawable directory of your Android project. Then you can send the following JSON from GCM:
{
title:"AUX Scrum",
message: "Scrum: Daily touchbase @ 10am Please be on time so we can cover everything on the agenda.",
actions: [
{ icon: "emailGuests", title: "EMAIL GUESTS", callback: "app.emailGuests"},
{ icon: "snooze", title: "SNOOZE", callback: "app.snooze"},
]
}
This will produce the following notification in your tray:
When the user clicks on one of the buttons it will execute the JavaScript code you specified as a callback for that button.
