Android & (millions of) push notifications

Question

I\'m working on the Android version of an application I first created on iPhone and this application requires to send (if it\'s as successful as its iPhone version) up to millio

Answer 1

All I would mention is that XMPP can be pretty verbose, you might want to look at MQTT if you want to keep your network usage low as it is very efficient.

Answer 2

If you are trying to send many million notification or presence packets, SoapBox Server 2012 is capable of sending over 100k message per second on a single server as well as concurrently connect more than 250k users.

Our 8th generation platform has been designed for non instant messaging use cases, such as Remote Device Monitoring (RDM), Cloud Message Bus, Software Defined Networking (SDN).

You can download a free trial of our XMPP Server and XMPP SDK at our website.

Answer 3

Update: according their blog post Notifo Will Be shutting Down. But that blog post is already more than a year ago and I believe they are still up and running

Also I would like to point you out to notifo which is pretty cool. I don't know about if they have a quota at all, but I guess you should sent them a message, which generally gets responded within a day.

Answer 4

200K is the development quota, we'll be happy to grant you more if you need it. Android 2.2+ represents >80% of Android devices in the field today. We typically turn these requests around pretty quickly.

Answer 5

Base on my investigation, if you want to use C2DM,the google framework must be installed in your android device. If you have google play, that implies google framework is installed.
