I am using Parse.com as a backend and to send push notifications. I understand that in the notification payload it is possible to set the "priority" as per the apple documentation:
Priority
1 byte
The notification’s priority. Provide one of the following values:
10 The push message is sent immediately.
The remote notification must trigger an alert, sound, or badge on the device. It is an error to use this priority for a push that contains only the content-available key.
5 The push message is sent at a time that conserves power on the device receiving it.
Obviously having the message delivered immediately is more desirable (I'm building a messaging app) Does it make a difference if I set the priority to "10" on Parse? Or does Parse set its own priority? Any pointers on this would be great. Thanks!
I ended up sending a nil sound file in the package which seeks to up the priority. It would be nice to manually set the priority though.
