Minor release that adds new NotificationFactory APIs to better handle limited background
time when building notifications. This release also addresses ANRs from the GCM and ADM
Broadcast Receiver that occur when notification building takes longer than 10 seconds when
using a custom notification factory. To avoid the ANR, the braodcast will wait a max of 10
seconds before finishing received broadcast instead of waiting for the notification to
finish. This will prevent the ANR from occurring, but the OS might kill the app before it
has time to display the notification and it will be lost. To avoid this issue, either use
NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int, boolean) to retry later
if the notification is taking too long, or use NotificationFactory#requiresLongRunningTask(PushMessage)
if the notification requires more than 10 seconds.

NotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int)in favor ofNotificationFactory#createNotificationResult(PushMessage, int, boolean)that also tells the factory if it has longer than 10 seconds to build the notification. - Added listener to the Whitelist class to reject URLs.
