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 millions of push notifications to users daily.
I naively thought the Android platform had a push notifications service as its sibling so I decided to look at this feature at the end of development and now here i am!
I searched stackoverflow for answers about this feature (issue ?) and found several options (thanks guys!) BUT did any of you guys was able to achieve such a feature with such a volume?
Here's the options I found :
I've read about Xtify or Urban Airship but none of these commercial solutions may help (volume or cost).
Thanks for any tips!
Edit : my goal is to be able to send up to 5,000,000 notifications a day
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.
