Send RAW notification with template

Question

Hi all,
I'm building an app and I'm using Azure Notification Hub to send notification to several devices (Windows Phone/Android/iOS),
I would like to use templates when I'm sending the notifications,
I could find an example how to register the device for RAW notification :-(
when I'm calls the method RegisterTemplateAsync, I get the following error "The payload is not in accepted XML format. The first node should be Badge/Tile/Toast. If want to send raw notification, please set header to wns/raw."
Does anyone know how to solve that issue?
Thanks

Where do you put all of this? The error only says to set header to wns/raw. Can we just set the WindowsNotification() header like so:
Notification notification = new WindowsNotification("test message from AZURE");
notification.Headers.Add("X-WNS-Type", @"wns/raw");
Also, I spent a long time looking for a simple solution to sending raw push notifications from Azure Mobile Services and thanks to this post I figured it out. Here's my example ScheduledTask showing how to send a raw push notification.
public class SyncPhoneDatabaseJob : ScheduledJob
public ApiServices Services { get; set; }
protected override void Initialize(ScheduledJobDescriptor scheduledJobDescriptor, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
base.Initialize(scheduledJobDescriptor, cancellationToken);
public async override Task ExecuteAsync()
try
NotificationHubClient hubclient = Services.Push.HubClient;
Notification notification = new WindowsNotification("Raw test message from Zumo.");
notification.Headers.Add("X-WNS-Type", @"wns/raw");
var outcome = await hubclient.SendNotificationAsync(notification);
catch (Exception e)
Services.Log.Error(e.ToString());
protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)
base.Dispose(disposing);
if (disposing)
// Run disposal code
