  • deep links

I've read the SNS documentation and it appears that currently Amazon SNS doesn't support "deep links" feature.

I would like to refer you to another AWS service called Amazon Pinpoint which I know supports deep linking.

  • images

Amazon SNS indeed supports sending Push Notification with images, however there are two major key things to consider :

1. The image size must not exceed 256KB which is the max payload size of the Publish API call.

2. It's the responsibility of the mobile application to process the payload and display the desired image appropriately. e.g the following 'data' message payload could be processed by the app by extracting the key ImageUrl (or any other key) and display the image accordingly.

{
  "GCM": "{ \"data\": { \"body\": \"SNS body\",  \"title\": \"SNS\", \"ImageUrl\": \"https://syumaK-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/Mahrez.png\" } }"
}
  • emoji

Amazon SNS indeed supports emoji when sending Push Notification. You can do the following :

( i ) Copy & paste the emoji's directly into your payload as illustrated below :

 {
   "GCM":"{ \"notification\": { \"text\": \"Riyad Mahrez, ⚽️ against former club to put Manchester City back in the EPL title 🏆\" } }"
 }

( ii ) Send the emoji unicode characters in the payload as illustrated below :

{
   "GCM":"{ \"notification\": { \"text\": \"This is a test notification \u270C\" } }"
}

Hope this helps!
