Sending 'silent' notifications

[pataar]

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to send 'silent' notifications. So notifications that basically skip the devices' notification center in both Android and iOS. Any idea how?

Thanks in advance!

Hi if by 'silent' you mean push notification which device doesnt handle (doesnt show any notif to user), it called dry run. you can set option dry run to true. it actually a feature by gcm for developers. if you want send push and not want user to see but your app receive and read it, dont fill 'notification' key and just fill data key in json with what you want.
