I'm building a windows 8 application wish toast notifications that are pushed. I know that when the toast is clicked, the application is started, possibly with the ability to see the payload of the toast that launched it.
However, is it possible for me to send additional data that can be interpreted by the client (like a unique id), that is not shown on the toast?
Take a look at the launch attribute of the Toast schema. What you put in there is up to you. When the user clicks on the toast, the app will be activated with an ActivationKind of Launch, and you can grab the string from the args passed into the OnLaunched handler (see How to handle activation from a toast notification)

I am using Expo to build an app that will pop up a notification with custom sound and vibration when triggered remotely. The alarm/vibration would play until its dismissed by the user or it times out (say after 1-2 mins) .
Example use case would be when a partner needs my immediate help with baby, they can press a button the app and that would send signal to backend server which would then trigger the notification with alarm on the app at the other end. When the notification is dismissed, an acknowledgement message is sent with Yes or No type message. If the notification times out, then another message is sent like "no response".
Key point to note is that when the app is fully closed, the notification should still be able to pop up.
From my limited understanding , expo notification or push notifications in general cannot achieve this as they don't allow us to create notifications that directly open the app. Even a solution which works like phone or video calling apps (which open when someone calls you ) could work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks!
I looked up expo push notifications but they are limited in terms of customising the notifications.
I need to know is it possible to need to send some type ID with firebase notification. Where user get notification i want to open the page and pass that ID as a parameter in api ? Is it possible ? OR any one have example ? Thanks
Depending on your need you can send a notification message, or data message, the notification message will be basically responsible for showing a push notification to the device with a title, subtitle and message depending on the operating system (in terms of the graphic environment), the data message will send a notification to the device with the data you want, this notification will not be visible to the user, now if you need to send data but also show a notification to the user you can do it in two ways:
You send a notification of data, when you receive it you process it, you show a local notification and you send by parameter the id that you received.
Send a push notification (with the id specifically in some side as you wish) this is shown by default to the user, when the user opens it, you process the id, and send it by parameter.
I recommend the first option, here you will find more information

I have implemented interactive notification using two actions. When app is not running, and i get 4-5 notifications on lock screen, then if I submit any one action, it clears all notifications automatically, this should not be done. I have just called one webservice on that action. Not clearing all notifications manually, still having same issue.

I have developed a desktop application which displays ToastNotifications while the user is in Metro Mode. When clicked it will bring the user back to the desktop mode where a standard desktop notification is presented.
This all works fine except when Windows is in QUNS_QUIET_TIME. The desktop notifications do not get displayed as expected, but the ToastNotfications still get displayed. My client wishes for the ToastNotifications to not display during Quiet Time.
The code calls SHQueryUserNotificationState which returns a QUERY_USER_NOTIFICATION_STATE enumeration. The provided link says the following:
Note that during quiet time, if the user is in one of the other blocked modes (QUNS_NOT_PRESENT, QUNS_BUSY, QUNS_PRESENTATION_MODE, or QUNS_RUNNING_D3D_FULL_SCREEN) SHQueryUserNotificationState returns only that value, and does not report QUNS_QUIET_TIME.
This is what I am experiencing. The call to SHQueryUserNotificationState is returning QUNS_APP (A Windows Store app is running.) and not QUNS_QUIET_TIME.
Does anyone know of another way to determine if QUNS_QUIET_TIME is in effect or a way to force the toast to respect quiet time?
Desktop notifications use different settings than toast notifications. You can find toast notification settings here. When a user sets notifications to one hour from Windows 8 Settings | Notifications, the app will not be able set toast notification. Try the example "sending toast notifications from a desktop" here (either C++ code or C# code).
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.
