Im sending push notifications to both Android and iOS devices... I'm using data messages as I want need custom key value pairs and I need to use them when the app is in the background
my payload is something like:
{
"to": "device token here",
"content_available":true,
"priority":"high",
"data": {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
"key3": "value3",
}
}
This works fine on Android, and notifications come through, on iOS a notification does not come through...It only comes through if i include notification in the payload like so:
{
"to": "device token here",
"notification": {
"title": "test",
"text": "MY Test"
},
"content_available":true,
"priority":"high",
"data": {
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
"key3": "value3",
}
}
The problem with the second approach is that the notification no longer a data message, so I can't work with it when the app is in the background on android... How can I solve this - i need notifications to work on both platforms, sending data pairs, and ideally even when the app is in the background
