Answer 1

For me @Ajay answer is not correct (sorry).

With push notification you can choose between three user options: text message (alerts), sounds and badges. Every push notification can contain one or more of these options, so you can send for example a notification with sound and badge, but without message and in this case any alert is shown.

Note that you can even pass hidden options in a private dictionary to your application.
