Customize pushd server to add a new field like subtitle or title for iOS push notification payload. As you may know ios payload is like below:

{
     "aps":{
         "alert":{
             "body":"New flight is booked",
             "title":"Boarding at 20:05",
             "subtitle": ""Yay!
         },
         "category":"openFlightCategory"
     },
 }

pushd by default does not support subtitle in the payload, to add this do the following:

- open /usr/local/pushdcustomized/lib/payload.coffee file
- add @subtitle = {} to line 14
- add when 'subtitle' then @subtitle.default = value to line 28
- add the below function to line 51:

localizedMessage: (lang) ->
             @localized('subtitle', lang)

Ok done in payload. Push now accept subtitle for iOS, but there is one step left. You need to send subtitle to iOS device.

Open /usr/local/pushdcustomized/lib/pushservices/apns.coffee file and go to line note.alert = alert (line 44), and change it to:

note.alert = {'title':payload.title.default, 'body':payload.msg.default, 'subtitle': payload.subtitle.default}

OK DONE :)

Restart your pushd server and enjoy title and subtitle in your iOS push notifications.
