I don't think that this is possible but have left it as an enhancement.

[nbaua]

Oh,
Thanks for considering the requirement as an enhancement. I am not sure how tight your schedule is, however I am hoping it is coming soon because I think this will be a big plus on the feature set currently we have.

Thanks anyways for developing such a nice plug-in, I am totally loving it. 👍

I'm not the developer, I'm just helping out :)

I also don't think this is easily possible and would require significant coding, but thats for @katzer to answer.

[nbaua]

Hi rwillett,
Can you assign this issue to @katzer?

I would be nice, if this feature is implemented, I don't have clear idea of implementing this in the existing code base.

I know my dish, How I want it to be prepared for me, however I ain't a good chef myself. :)

[rwillett]

I've left it as en enhancement. I think this is quite difficult to do though as I think the underlying Apple/Android frameworks don't support it. You would need custom coding and that might undermine the local notifications.

Its up to @katzer to determine his roadmap.

Okey rwillett,
I've got your intent. I can understand its not that easy to alter the native code. It might tamper what is working best till date. Thanks for your prompt reply, You guys rock.

FYI,
Currently, I am leading the user to a custom view where the entire screen is presented with the banner content. I guess this works for now, however please keep me posted, if you guys play with your magic wend some time soon.

Thanks.
