Did you know you can put a question mark at the end of a sentence even on twitter ?

Why necessarily at the end? It could have been one of these:

Did you know? You can put a whole game inside of a push notification.

Or maybe even:

Did you know? You can put a whole game inside of a push notification!

Seems like too much code to allow in a notification. Doesn't that seem like it would be just rife with potential exploits?

These are not delivered along with the notification-- they're provided (client-side) by the application that the notification was sent for. So, while a notification could display dynamic content here depending on the content of the notification (for example, this is the same mechanism as used by Mail on iOS for mail previews) and the preview code should take the untrusted nature of the content into account if it does, it doesn't have to and it's not any different than running the application itself in terms of security issues.
