You would need to find another example, your first example is prohibited by Apple. This from the developer agreement:
2.1 You may not use the APN for the purpose of sending unsolicited messages to end users or for the purpose of phishing or spamming, including, but not limited to, engaging in any types of activities that violate anti-spamming laws and regulations, or that are otherwise improper, inappropriate or illegal.
2.2 You may not use the APN for the purposes of advertising, product promotion, or direct marketing of any kind (e.g. up-selling, cross-selling, etc.), including, but not limited to, sending any messages to promote the use of Your Application or advertise the availability of new features or versions.
Note you can't use APN for ads and the user has to agree to receiving notifications.
You can still use your idea as an easy way for developers to send other messages
