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.

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.

   I would like to know whether there are any push notification servers

available that can be integrated with Jboss or any other application server

in the enterprise.

Thanks
