Create push notification server for android without using GCM

How can we create a push notification service without using GCM to send messages to one android device. I don't need to use GCM because it is very slow and beta.

Can anyone help me with this.

Thanks in advance.

Google Cloud Messaging is not included in the beta at all. :)

If you want to avoid using Google's service, it's best not to repeat it. Try using other frameworks like Amazon SNS:

or

Or something else.

You can install PSB ( http://pservicebus.codeplex.com/ ) and use the Java API ( https://github.com/rpgmaker/PServiceBus-Java-Client ) to communicate between your Android devices.

When building an application using the Java client API. You can create a post for example.

public class Notification {
   public int Id;
   public String Message;
}

And when you subscribe to a post in the android app, you just apply the filter when you subscribe.



ex

PSBClient.Subscribe(Notification.class, new Action<Notification>() {
   public void execute(Notification msg){
      //Do something with message
   }
}, "Id = UniqueAndroidID");

When publishing a message to a specific device, you simply do the following:

Notification message = new Notification();
message.Id = 10003432;//Unique Android ID
message.Message = "Hello Android Device";
PSBClient.publish(message);
