Push Notifications in Android Platform

mike_plumbs

I am looking to write an app that receives pushed alerts from a server. I found a couple of methods to do this. SMS - Intercept the incoming SMS and initiate a pull from the server Poll the server periodically Each has its own limitations. SMS- no guarantee on arrival time. Poll may drain the battery. Do you have a better suggestion please? Thanks very much.
