Do I must create my own server side to use google cloud messaging?

Question

Ok, before you flame me alive...

I mean, is there is a platform (like parse.com for manage data base server side),

thats enable client side developers without server side prior knowledge (like me),

to easily work with or build the server side of GCM (google cloud messaging)?

Answer 1

1. Urban Airship is a very popular solution.
2. Core Push is another, but maybe not open to public yet
3. Can't vouch for it but parse looks free at least for lower push volumes.
