Testing the functionality of the push service (GCM as well as C2DM) has 
been very nicely explained in the documentation.
We want to test beyond the functionality. We want to test our server 
component responsible for pushing notifications to our application on the 
android devices for
1. Its throughput and
2. Its performance when it is loaded

To do this kind of load testing the challenge we have in front of us is, 
how do we test for 100s of endpoints? We will certainly not have these many 
real devices available for load testing. In absence of real endpoints, can 
we carry out the load testing for our server component? Any ideas will be 
very much appreciated.

Can we try with dummy endpoints? Will Google servers be ok to receive kind 
of junk traffic when we are doing load testing? Can we request Google for 
some arrangement?

I believe such testing might be a routine requirement for apps in banking 
or financial domain where they have very high number of users. How do they 
test their notification modules for its performance and throughput?

Any inputs and guidance will be highly appreciated.

Best Regards,
-Manish Jalan
