Having a centralized server managing notifications can be an advantage in many cases. No need to have each application create its own service to manage notification, with all the resources needed (even if few), and all the complexity involved (lost connection, sleeping phone, group requests when polling, ....).
A unique service on the phone could be optimized and easier to customize also. One only settings UI to set the policy, such as always online with ASAP notifications, battery savings, list of registered applications, history of notifications, ...... The server could also even choose whether to use SMS if data connection is not available and notifications is quite urgent. This would be an helpful option to have such a service available for developers. And I think Google would be in good position to offer it ! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
