Silent Push Notification

[azhararmar]

Hi,

I need to send silent push notification, for which I am using the following code

$authProvider = AuthProvider\Token::create($this->options['ios']);
$alert = Alert::create()->setTitle($this->title);
$alert = $alert->setBody($this->message);
$payload = Payload::create()->setAlert($alert);
$payload->setContentAvailability(true);
$payload = $payload->setSound('default');
foreach ($this->data as $key => $value) {
    $payload = $payload->setCustomValue($key, $value);
}
$notifications = [];
foreach ($this->deviceTokens as $deviceToken) {
    $notifications[] = new Notification($payload, $deviceToken);
}
$client = new Client($authProvider, $production = false);
$client->addNotifications($notifications);
$client->push();

It sends the push notification to the device, however, the push notifications are displayed in notification center which I don't want.

How to include content-available=1 to enable and send silent push notification using this library.

I think you did it

$payload->setContentAvailability(true);

Do NOT set the apn alert object (things like title, body etc), if you leave those out your push is going to be silent.
