Show alert dialog instead of notification when recieve push from parse.com console

Question

I'm trying to add push notifications to my android application.

First I downloaded the example project from parse.com to see how it works. When I send Message or JSON I can receive push notifications in the notifications bar. Now I want to show an alert dialog instead of a notification in the notifications bar. I've searched but I didn't find a solution even in parse website.

Any help please and thanks in advance.

Hello if you will not use "title" and "alert" key in your jsonObject then it will not create the by default notification in notification bar.I was able to made a custom notification instead of by default.

You can see my code and change the custom notification code from the alert dialog code.Take a look:

Code to send notification:

String  otherChannelName = "channel" + user_id;
            // send push notfication
        String str_objid = PreferenceSetting.getObjId(mActivity);
        String str_uname = PreferenceSetting.getUName(mActivity);

            ParsePush push = new ParsePush();
            push.setChannel(otherChannelName);

            push.setMessage(message);

            JSONObject data = null;
            try {
                data = new JSONObject("{\"action\": \""
                        + NChatActivity.BUDDY_CHAT_PUSH_ACTION + "\"" + ",\"from\": \""
                        + str_objid + "\"" + ",\"to\": \"" + user_id
                        + "\"" + ",\"a\" : \"" + message + "\""
                        + ",\"t\" : \"" + type + "\"" + "}");

            } catch (JSONException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            }

            push.setData(data);

            push.sendInBackground();

Code to receive notification :

@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
    try {


        Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();

        String message = extras != null ? extras.getString("com.parse.Data")
                : "";
        String channel = extras.getString("com.parse.Channel");


        JSONObject jObject = null;
        try {
            if (message != null && !message.equals("")) {
                jObject = new JSONObject(message);

                from = jObject.getString("from");
               messageText = jObject.getString("a");
               type  = jObject.getString("t");

                   }
               }
        catch (JSONException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

         ActivityManager am =(ActivityManager)context.getSystemService(context.ACTIVITY_SERVICE);
          List < ActivityManager.RunningTaskInfo > taskInfo = am.getRunningTasks(1);
           ComponentName componentInfo = taskInfo.get(0).topActivity;

           if(componentInfo.getPackageName().equalsIgnoreCase("com.pappchat"))
         {
               if (type.equals("Papp App")) {
               if(taskInfo.get(0).topActivity.getClassName().equals("com.pappchat.NChatActivity"))
              {
                  LoadDataTwo.getfriendInfo(from,context);
                  Message msg = handler.obtainMessage();
                    Bundle b = new Bundle();
                    b.putString("message", messageText);
                    b.putString("from", from);

                    msg.setData(b);

                    if(handler.sendMessage(msg)){
                        Log.d(TAG, "send message successfully");
                    }else{
                        Log.d(TAG, "unable to send message.");
                    }
               }
               else
                  {
                       notify(context,intent,jObject);
                     }
                }

Here I have made custom notification in the method named notify(context,intent,jObject) You can make alert dialog in this method(when the app will be in background).
