How Do I Send Extra Data Through An Urbanairship Push Notification

So I need to send a push notification to a user's device. Then when the user clicks on the notification, I need my app to take a specific action. I want to include the parameter fo

Solution 1:

Since there is no answer accepted here I thought I'll show how I am doing it. I have a class that extends BroadcastReceiver like you should if you are following UrbanAirship. In this class I recieve the notifications:

publicclassIntentReceiverextendsBroadcastReceiver {

    privatestaticfinalStringlogTag="PushUA";
    private String pushToken;

    publicstaticStringAPID_UPDATED_ACTION_SUFFIX=".apid.updated";

    @OverridepublicvoidonReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        Log.i(logTag, "Received intent: " + intent.toString());
        Stringaction= intent.getAction();

        if (action.equals(PushManager.ACTION_PUSH_RECEIVED)) {          

            intid= intent.getIntExtra(PushManager.EXTRA_NOTIFICATION_ID, 0);

            logPushExtras(intent);

        } elseif (action.equals(PushManager.ACTION_NOTIFICATION_OPENED)) {

            Log.i(logTag, "User clicked notification. Message: " + intent.getStringExtra(PushManager.EXTRA_ALERT));

            logPushExtras(intent);

            String url= intent.getStringExtra("url"); //Here you get your extras

Solution 2:

You can extend BasicPushNotificationBuilder and override buildNotification. That method gets the extra parameters in extras.

@OverridepublicNotificationbuildNotification(String alert, Map<String, String> extras) {
    // Only build inbox style notification for rich push messagesif (extras != null && RichPushManager.isRichPushMessage(extras)) {
        returncreateRichNotification(alert);
    } else {
        returnsuper.buildNotification(alert, extras);
    }
}

See docs here.

Solution 3:

Eran had the right idea, but you actually want to implement PushNotificationBuilder and then override buildNotification().

Something like this:

/**
 * This class encapsulates notifications (those that appear in the notification shade).
 *
 * @author Karim Varela
 */publicclassManagerNotificationsimplementsPushNotificationBuilder
{
    @OverridepublicNotificationbuildNotification(String alert, Map<String, String> extras)
    {
        returnnull;
    }

    @Overridepublic int getNextId(String alert, Map<String, String> extras)
    {
        return0;
    }
}
