Hi,
Is it possible to put a link to video in a web server through push notification . I wish the user who see the message have an

option to click a link in the message and open a video. Please advice

No. Push notifications are only straight text.

However, you could use the action button to do this. Push the URL via a custom dictionary in the push notification. Then have your notification handler in your app look for the custom dictionary, extract the URL, and play the video.

Read the Local and Push Notifications Programming Guide to more info.
