Editor's Notes
Business cards and Aerogear stickers
Usually associated with mobile devices. However, push notifications can be sent to a browser using GCM for Chrome or Mozilla Simple Push. iOS8 introduces silent notifications which can allow an app to be notified about an event. An example would be a newsstand app, it could then download new content in the background.
I will show a demo of sending additional data in the payload later.
We would like to focus on getting our application to market, not get bogged down in the details of creating a push server.
With a Push Server, we can easily send push notifications to multiple mobile applications from multiple disparate applications.
