Answer 1

AFAIK there is no public ejabberd module that provides an interface to GCM or APN.

I suggest you to implement a custom module with an ejabberd_hook. You can see an example of ejabberd internal module and presence hook here.

If you want to forward messages to offline users I suggest offline_message_hook while for a generic filtering of messages I suggest filter_packet({From, To, Packet}) and check for packet type (see this stackoverflow question).

Knowing the recipient you can retrieve from the db the device token/registration id and forward the message using some erlang code.

For APN take a look at some simple code explaining how it works or to this erlang ex_apns. If you want more information about APN of if you want a mock server for APN you can read this blog post.

For an example of GCM you can use the example link provided by @Lucas.
