Interactive notifications?

disorientedp

Is it possible to make notifications sent interactive? I'm assuming no, but I wanted to ask to make sure.

This can be done in other iOS apps where you have the choice to do two different things on the notification.
Example

Maybe with objc_util. If this isn't possible, it would be a cool feature to be implemented later in the notifications module.

I know this is possible to 3rd party apps because of Lifeline. However, I'm not sure if messages-style text fields in notifications are possible in non-apple apps.

@Webmaster4o I've never seen that text field in a 3rd-party app, and I've seen a lot with interactive notifications. So I'll assume no. But I'll try messing around in Xcode to make sure (though I'm not very comfortable with Swift or Objective-C).

Actually, twitter might have the text field for direct messages. Let me see if I can test it.

Webmaster4o

Yes, twitter's direct messages allow direct response from notifications

@Webmaster4o Okay, that's good to know. I'll add this to the next version wishlist.
