      end
      
    6. Run pod install

      #import "NotificationService.h"
      
      @interface NotificationService ()
      
      @property (nonatomic, strong) void (^contentHandler)(UNNotificationContent *contentToDeliver);
      @property (nonatomic, strong) UNNotificationRequest *receivedRequest;
      @property (nonatomic, strong) UNMutableNotificationContent *bestAttemptContent;
      
      @end
      
      @implementation NotificationService
      
      - (void)didReceiveNotificationRequest:(UNNotificationRequest *)request withContentHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationContent * _Nonnull))contentHandler {
          self.receivedRequest = request;
          self.contentHandler = contentHandler;
          self.bestAttemptContent = [request.content mutableCopy];
      
          [CleverPushExtension didReceiveNotificationExtensionRequest:self.receivedRequest withMutableNotificationContent:self.bestAttemptContent];
      
          self.contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent);
      }
      
      - (void)serviceExtensionTimeWillExpire {
          [CleverPushExtension serviceExtensionTimeWillExpireRequest:self.receivedRequest withMutableNotificationContent:self.bestAttemptContent];
      
          self.contentHandler(self.bestAttemptContent);
      }
      
      @end
