[SalesForce] Exacttarget Contact AMPScript

I am trying to customize an Push Notification template in ExactTarget by using AMPScript. Can you please let me know how can I retrieve "Contact key" value from Contact using AMPScript.
I have tried with the below AMPscript:
%%contactKey%%
%%ContactKey%%
%%[Contact Key]%%

You cannot access the ContactKey / SubscriberKey in MobilePush.

The only way to have access to this value is to create a new custom attribute with this value for the MobilePush Demographics. For whatever reason we can only query the ContactID (which is system defined) from the _PushAddress data view.

In fact, even in MobileConnect outbound SMS, the ability to actually use the ContactKey of a Contact was added just two weeks ago with the June 2018 release.

EDIT (OCT 2018) - with latest October 2018 release there is now an option to use Journey Attributes in the MobilePush messages. This includes the ContactKey attribute.

in AMPScript you do not add the "%%" to the personalization string call. That is only in raw HTML. (ref)

Personalization strings that appear in AMPscript function calls cannot include the surrounding percent symbols. For example, this code in AMPscript is invalid:

%%=UPPERCASE(%%emailaddr%%)=%%

This format, however, is valid:

%%=UPPERCASE(emailaddr)=%%

This should work:

%%[var @sflead, @Subskey 
set @sflead = UpdateSingleSalesforceObject('Lead',_subscriberkey,'OptOut','true') 
]%%
