I am trying to have a previous push notification stack with the new one or replace it in the system tray for android.
I am not sure how to do this as the push notification is sending back both data and notification objects, and from what I understand the notification goes directly to the system tray. If so how do I stop the notification from appearing independently. Some users would get 5-10 notifications and it would keep pushing up.
EDIT:
I tried collapse_key but it still does not replace prior notifications with the same key... am I doing it wrong somehow here?
