A server-side library for sending Push Notifications to iOS (iPhone/iPad APNS), Android (C2DM - soon Google Cloud Message), Windows Phone, and Blackberry devices!
UPDATE: June 29, 2012 Please check out the Google-GCM branch to see this work in progress. It's almost complete! UPDATE: June 27, 2012 Google just announced that Google Cloud Messaging will take the place of the now Deprecated C2DM. I plan on integrating Google Cloud Messaging ASAP!
- Supports sending push notifications for many platforms:
- Apple (APNS - iOS - iPhone, iPad)
- Android (C2DM - Phone/Tablets)
- Windows Phone 7 / 7.5 (and 8 presumably when it's released)
- Blackberry (Not fully functional)
- Fluent API for constructing Notifications for each platform
- Auto Scaling of notification channels (more workers/connections are added as demand increases, and scaled down as it decreases)
- Asynchronous code where possible, use of library is very event oriented
- 100% managed code awesomeness for Mono compatibility!
Head over to the Wiki for some documentation, guides, etc.
Using the library should be easy, and the platform fairly abstracted away... Here's some sample code:
//Create our service
PushService push = new PushService();
//Wire up the events
push.Events.OnDeviceSubscriptionExpired += new Common.ChannelEvents.DeviceSubscriptionExpired(Events_OnDeviceSubscriptionExpired);
push.Events.OnChannelException += new Common.ChannelEvents.ChannelExceptionDelegate(Events_OnChannelException);
push.Events.OnNotificationSendFailure += new Common.ChannelEvents.NotificationSendFailureDelegate(Events_OnNotificationSendFailure);
push.Events.OnNotificationSent += new Common.ChannelEvents.NotificationSentDelegate(Events_OnNotificationSent);
//Configure and start Apple APNS
var appleCert = File.ReadAllBytes(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "AppleSandbox.p12"));
push.StartApplePushService(new ApplePushChannelSettings(false, appleCert, "test"));
//Configure and start Android C2DM
push.StartAndroidPushService(new Android.AndroidPushChannelSettings("<SENDERID>", "test", "<APPID>"));
//Configure and start Windows Phone Notifications
push.StartWindowsPhonePushService(new WindowsPhone.WindowsPhonePushChannelSettings());
//Fluent construction of a Windows Phone Toast notification
push.QueueNotification(NotificationFactory.WindowsPhone().Toast()
.ForEndpointUri(new Uri("<DEVICE-ENDPOINT-URL-HERE"))
.ForOSVersion(WindowsPhone.WindowsPhoneDeviceOSVersion.MangoSevenPointFive)
.WithBatchingInterval(WindowsPhone.BatchingInterval.Immediate)
.WithNavigatePath("/MainPage.xaml")
.WithText1("Alert Text!")
.WithText2("You have 7 new things!"));
//Fluent construction of an iOS notification
push.QueueNotification(NotificationFactory.Apple()
.ForDeviceToken("<DEVICETOKEN>")
.WithAlert("Alert Text!")
.WithSound("sound.caf")
.WithBadge(7));
//Fluent construction of an Android C2DM Notification
push.QueueNotification(NotificationFactory.Android()
.ForDeviceRegistrationId("<C2DM-DEVICE-ID>")
.WithCollapseKey("LATEST")
.WithData("alert", "Alert Text!")
.WithData("badge", "7"));- More thorough Testing!
