Question

I need to add some arguments to a json payload for APNS service. How can i do this?
this is the documentation of apple: http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/ApplePushService/ApplePushService.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40008194-CH100-SW1

When i try to send a message with close and view buttons, i need to add two more arguments that my mobile application needs.
Any idea?

Not sure if you got the answer yet. But this is what the documentation mentions

Providers can specify custom payload
values outside the Apple-reserved aps
namespace. Custom values must use the
JSON structured and primitive types:
dictionary (object), array, string,
number, and Boolean.

So in order to add custom values to your payload, just add them as key-value pairs in your payload. Something like this

{
    "aps":{
        "alert":"Your Message",
        "sound":"push1.wav"
     },
     "custom_key1":"value1",
     "custom_key2":"value2"
}

Here custom_key1 and custom_key2 are your custom keys and value1 and value2 are their values.
