Different data for sharing providers in UIActivityViewController

I'm trying to use an UIActivityViewController with one long NSString as the data. If I put a string > 140 characters, the tweet sheet in it does not display the string. And if I truncate the string before giving it to the controller, all of the UIActivities have the truncated string. I don't want Facebook or Message to be truncated.

Is there a way to give different strings to different UIActivities?

Thank you!

(e.g. Marco Arment's The Magazine app does this by having a truncated string followed by @TheMagazineApp in UIActivityPostToTwitter, and other stuff in other UIActivities.)

I think this is what you're looking for: Custom UIActivityViewController icons and text.

You should be able to provide different data for each activity type.
