Notification iOS

How do I change the title of the remote notification?

example:

By specifying the "title" property in the json payload. For example:

{
    "aps" : {
        "alert" : {
            "title" : "Game Request",
            "body" : "Bob wants to play poker",
            "action-loc-key" : "PLAY"
        }
    }
}

Hi @DaveHunt !

My json payload is like yours and my remote notifications always show app name as title when the app state is background or closed.

I implemented it based on this link and used PushSharp to send notifications to APNS.

The default format for the json payload is something like:

{
   "aps": {
      "alert": {
         "title": "message title",
         "body": "message body"
      },
      "badge": 1,
      "sound": "default",
      "content-available": 1
   }
}

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

iOS only displays the title of the notification in Notification Center on iPhone/iPad. It still only shows the app name in the alert pop-up. There's no way to change that behavior.

On Apple Watch, the alert does show the title.

Thanks for help @DaveHunt! Now I know this is a behavior of iOS!
