I have APNS messages working well. However I'd like to change the title of the messages that are sent. Currently the title is always the name of my app. I see that notifications for the native iOS 'Mail' app have the 'From' address as the title of the message and also have the email subject showing in bold as a sub-heading to the notification. I'd like to reproduce this for my app's notifications but can't see how to do this. The JSON payload just seems to have a key for "alert" with no mention of a 'title' key. Is it possible to achieve what I want?

I just stumbled over this old question and just wanted to add, that specifying a title and body for the notification is now possible (since iOS 8, I think).
Your push payload needs to look like this:
You find the detailed specs in Apple's Local and Remove Notification Programming Guide.
