This will only work while your app is active/visible. The main advantage of push notifications is that they can be delivered even when your app isn't running. Push notifications also don't require keeping an open socket to the server, so they're a lot better for battery life. (They're triggered from a sideband message over regular GSM, kind of like an invisible SMS message, so they don't require keeping the faster and more power-hungry 3G/LTE/4G/WiFi radios active.) --Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
