PushPayload

The PushPayload object provides access to the payload that has arrived as the result of a push. This object cannot be created by the new keyword. It is generated only by the system on receipt of a push notification.

For a great sample app that demonstrates how to use the push APIs, see Push Capture.

There is also a very valuable developer guide for the Push Capture sample app that you can find here.

Functions

void acknowledge (shouldAcceptPush : Boolean)


Sends an acknowledgement to the PPG indicating whether a push should be accepted or rejected. It is up to the application to determine whether to accept or reject a push message based on it own business rules. It is strongly recommended to accept or reject the push message as soon as possible otherwise the push message will automatically be considered rejected.

Use the isAckRequired property to determine whether or not calling acknowledge is required.


Supported Platforms
 - BlackBerry 10


Parameters
shouldAcceptPush True if the push should be accepted; false if the push should be rejected

Code Example: 
if (pushPayload.isAcknowledgeRequired) {
   // Accept push
   pushPayload.acknowledge(true);

   // To reject the push, you would call: 
   // pushPayload.acknowledge(false);
}
