Re: [android-developers] Android push notification server for enterprise
Thanks a lot to all for helping me identifying the best solution. I think i shall go with polling until we have an approval to use GCM solution.

Re: [android-developers] Android push notification server for enterprise
You need to define what you mean by push. There are generally two ways that push can be achieved: 1 - Having a open connection that the server can push messages on 2 - Having the client constantly polling the server for messages afaik the reason we can use Googles servers for push is that the Google services library/app and/or Gmail/Google Calendar/etc. is in constant contact with the server(s) and therefore able to get additional messages for our applications (which would limit the resources needed to receive push messages in general because many applications are suddenly utilising a single connection). It would be very easy for you to implement a background service that polls a server that you control and therefore achieve the push functionality without using Googles or any other third party servers. An alternative solution (for devices that are on a global network and therefore can utilise the GCM) is to fire empty messages at clients using GCM and then have the client fetch the actual message from the private server.

Re: [android-developers] Android push notification server for enterprise
I agree with Michael. It would be easy, but at the same time it's pretty hard to get background services correct when they need to be constantly available polling the internet. E.g., it's pretty easy to kill battery life doing this. The reason people use GCM is because it does the hard work in getting that correct so you don't have to.

[android-developers] Android push notification server for enterprise
Hi, I'm looking for implementing Push notification for our enterprise application. I was unable to find any good solution other than GCM which is a google provided service resides outside the enterprise.
