On your server, you should maintain a queue of messages for a particular
client, or just have a common queue of messages and each client keeps track of
message ids. Then you notify clients using push whenever a new message arrives,
and they connect to the server and fetch the queue. It is important to remember
that you should avoid using push when users are actively using the chat and
frequently sending messages, since there will be more delay rather than just
using the currently established connection between your server and application.
It should fall back to push notifications only when you don't have an open
connection to the client.
