Push Notification Data

Push Notification AppEventData is accessible via ClientAPI.getAppEventData() API when you are in the handler of Push Events such as OnReceiveFetchCompletion and OnReceiveNotificationResponse. It contains the title, body, badge and additional data property of the push notification.

Structure of Push Notification's AppEventData

Unified Property Name iOS Source Property Android Source Property Description
title payload.aps.alert.title payload.notification.title If the payload contains title-loc-key (iOS) or titleLocKey (Android), then this property will contain the localized title text
body payload.aps.alert.body payload.notification.body If the payload contains loc-key (iOS) or bodyLocKey (Android), then this property will contain the localized body text
badge payload.aps.badge payload.data.badgepayload.data.badge
data payload.aps.data payload.data.data This property contains a JSON object for any custom data you can for processing the notification
payload payload payload This property contains the raw notification payload, so that you can still access platform-specific properties and also maintain backward compatibility

On Android device, title and body are available in OnReceiveForegroundNotification event only. In the OnReceiveNotificationResponse and OnReceiveFetchCompletion, they will always be null.

Note

Remove title and body from the request, if you want to send localizable push notification.
