Guest dodolom Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Hi guys, Is there any app that would be doing the same thing like the push notifications on iPhone? I've attached an image below, I am sure most of you know what I am talking about. I'd love if my screen would wake up with a notification for anything. Like a new e-mail, sms( I know handcent sms does have this function), breaking news,etc... Anyways, I'd love to hear if anyone knows any app for this. thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spammyspam Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 AFAIUI the iPhone only needs push notifications as applications cannot listen in the background. Seeing as Android apps can, it doesn't really need such a mechanism. Whether the phone wakes up or not is a decision of the developer. As you say Handcent has this option, so your best bet is to ask the developers of the apps you're interested in to put in an option to wake up the device on notifications.

Guest PhilA Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Google are rolling out a similar mechanism for Froyo called "Android Cloud to Device Messaging Framework". It's not generally available to developers yet, though so it will be a while before we see many apps using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest foxmeister Posted August 2, 2010 Report Share Posted August 2, 2010 Google are rolling out a similar mechanism for Froyo called "Android Cloud to Device Messaging Framework". It's not generally available to developers yet, though so it will be a while before we see many apps using it. It's not really new - it has always been there, and is how the Google Apps work. All they are doing now is opening it up to 3rd parties. Regards, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban Airship just opened up a public beta of our Android Push Notification service, which supports Android 1.5+.
