Push Notifications again.

Hi all,

I know questions like this have been asked before, but I am getting slightly confused at the share number of options that are out there (and I am not really sure if they do what I want), I am hoping someone can clear the fog for me.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for how to get started with Push Notifications…  I am writing a game that will require users to send notifications to people when it is there turn, so needs to be targeted, (could be an individual or large group), and it will also need to include additional information (such as the username of the person who sent the push so I can get the app to connect to my server to download additional info)

The game will be available on both android and iOS.  I have a VPS and have already set up things like user accountt, logins etc… 

I thought that since I already have a VPS it makes sense to take advantage of it??.  I was thinking of coding it myself (I guess I am an intermediate at PHP and MySQL) but can not really sure where to start…  

Thanks in advance,

Craig

You will best be served by a service like the PlayTogether plugin/service that can do the push sending for you.  You can also search for “Coronium” where one of our community members is putting together a service based on Parse (I think) and I think he’s got push working.
