Apple has support push notification since iOS 3.0
But what about Android??
Android can do this using a long-polling service or keep connectedto server.
There are implementations of Android push notification.

1. Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) official service byGoogle
2. AndriodPN at http://sourceforge.net/projects/androidpn/files/
3. Urban Airship Service
4. IBM'sMQTT

(1) Cloudto Device Messaging (C2DM)
Recently, I noticed that Android has announced push notificationservice called Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM)since May2010.

How to make it work ? check this: C2DMImplementation Checklist Step byStep 

One example is the Chrome toPhone extension.
the flow of registration and message-sending is similar to Applepush notification.

 

 

I will go into some detail in next post.

more info on the C2DM homepage 

(2) AndriodPN is an open-sourceproject at googlecode
It's a xmpp based notification server and a client toolkit.
Also includes a demo app.

(3)UrbanAirship
I knew Urban Airship when I used Apple Push Notification.
It's a good solution to implement your push service without buyingor renting a server. For the device without C2DM, it use a urbanairship helper app to communication with it's server.

It has many nice features.

• Cross platform messaging, iOS/Android/Blackberry
• Customized Messaging
• Customer Control
• ...

(4)IBM'sMQTT
There is an implementation by Dale Lane: UsingMQTT in Android mobile applications
It creates a Service and keeps persistent TCP/IP connection withserver.
