I am thinking of creating an application that would benefit from the ability to register with application server and then at a later point have a notification message sent to the phone and wakeup the app.
Rather than run the application on the handset all the time with a constant connection to my server, and the battery drain that that would entail, I wondered if Android allowed applications to register with some form of notification server a and then be woken up only when its needed... Think instant messenger app without the need to run the instant messenger all the time. iPhone has introduced something like this, does Android support it or is it feasible to develop something that would somehow use binary SMS notifications to launch the app and pass it some info? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
