Does anybody know how to send GCM pushes with big images like this example?
Image example
I have looked for documentation, but there is no much information about web GCM pushes :(

like the image above, I connected Slack and Notion.
I'm getting a notifications for all the changes on the linked Notion page.
but I only want the notification to come when I'm on a mention.
how can I do?
With my app, the Parse module sends out a notification each time a picture is sent to the Android recipient. The recipient then know to login to the app and receive the picture. My problem is that if the same recipient is getting many pictures sent to him, he will get many notifications for the app. Is there a way to update any existing Parse notification on and Android device to show the waiting count, instead of sending multiple notifications? I have searched through Parse documentation and here at Stackoverflow but can't find any info on how to do this.
yes, I am facing the same problem, The resolution is that , if you dont send title and alert in parse notifications, it will not create the automatic notifications in the device, so you will have to handle them in your broadcast receiver and create your own notifications, you can have a NOTIFICATION_ID for each notification you create and update the count by getNumber and setNumber i think.

Update: Sorry for getting back to you late on this but this might help someone else. Even If your app is not running, You will still get the notification. I have tested it on my own BroadcastReceiver which generates Modified notifications with bitmap, and positive, negetive button for response.
I've been trying to get my app's tile to display an image from the web, but couldn't get it to work. I then tried the Tiles and Badges app sample, where in scenario 3 you can send a tile notification that uses a web image. No matter which image url I paste in the text box, the tile refuses to get updated. So apparently, the sample isn't working either, or something is very wrong.
The images are all smaller than 1024x1024 and less than 200KB. Fun fact: if I download one of the images I unsuccesfully tried to feed the sample, add it to the project and then send a notification using it as a local image, the tile gets updated. So apparently the image isn't the problem.
Has anybody been able to get this working? I don't get what I'm doing wrong.
Do have internet permission ticket in app manifest? Maybe only your app dont have permission to download your image from web.
I'm working on a web app that does notifications much the same as Twitter, Facebook, and StackOverflow.
When there are async notifications sent to the notification area on these websites, you'll notice that usually the <title> is also updated to reflect the notification.
<title>(3) Twitter / Home</title>
I'm wondering if either Firefox or Chome have a Badge api whereby we can send a badge to the dock/taskbar that sums up all of the notifications (much the same as Apple Mail.app)? I am fairly confident that IE wouldn't have this.
So if the browser has a twitter notification,
It would also have a dock notification
note, these graphics are OS X, but my question is generic... ie: all OS platforms
My personal vision for this would be to add a meta tag to the page when the notification is sent to the client.
<meta notification-badge="3" />
If there is not an API for this, is there a way to swap out the browser icon asynchronously to achieve the same effect?
I didn't realize this was an apple-specific question until I saw the graphic. The answer is "No", browsers do not have Apple OS-specific APIs. You would have to write your own client application to get this effect.
since iOS 5, notifications are no more intrusive as previous. This is nice, but it seems that users prefer to tap directly on app icon from the Dashboard instead of the (small) banner area or notification center.
In such case, my app cannot get payload from notifications.. Even the 'application didReceiveRemoteNotification' method is not able to get the notification.
Has anyone got the same issue? Do you have any advice?
Thanks
The intention of the push payload is just to display something useful/informative to the user in the alert. Not to actually send data to your app.
So you will need your own web service to provide the data your app needs. Your app should refresh/sync to that service when it launches to get the data.
Example: Instagram. It can push notify you that someone commented on your photo. But it's not actually sending the comment data in the push to display in the app. The comment data is downloaded when you launch Instagram and attempt to view the comment.
