The standards-based approach to this would be to use WebSockets over SSL (which is identified by the 'wss' protocol). https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/WebSockets provides a good starting point.

For messaging applications, for device resource and battery life reasons and because your app can't guarantee that it will stay alive in the background, it's also worth checking out the simple push API at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/WebAPI/Simple_Push. You can use the API to wake up the app on the device by sending a notification from your messaging server.

hi! i'm implementing a server for my messaging app actually i'm using
nodejs+socket.io but due issues with cross platform (android,tizen,firefox os) 
cipher

(nodejs cipher, js client cipher and android cipher are not equal and gives me 
a lot of problems)


i am trying to implement a socket server with java, i actually did a simple 
socket with a thread to send-receive data from android to the server, and from 
server to android... what i need now is how to implement an effective 
communication between them or how to solve the cipher problem

thanks people
