Hi,
I would like to ask if anyone can give a step by step guide on what I should do to implement push notification on android using corona. I am really confused on what/how I will implement it. I am looking forward for your replies. Thank you
if you just want notifications for Android devices, you should look at the googlePushNotifications sample code
Thank you. I will look through it. I would like to have iOS push notifications as well, can both of them have the same code?
The Corona SDK code between Android and iOS is the same. What you have to manage though is when you get the registration event from the system and you’re calling the PushWoosh device registration, the data they expect for Android is different than iOS and you will have to adapt that registration code accordingly.

Oh, I see. I think I may have to study further about it. Thank you
I’m not using it but I tested it few weeks back. This is my code, I guess it should work.
[lua]
local function registerWithPushWoosh (token)
– Register device with PushWoosh. PushWoosh account and setup required.
local DeviceID = token
local PW_APPLICATION = “XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX” --use your app id in pushwoosh
local PW_URL = “https://cp.pushwoosh.com/json/1.3/registerDevice”
local function networkListener( event )
if ( event.isError ) then --error occurred notify user
native.showAlert( “Notification Registration Failed”, “An Error Contacting the Server has Occurred”, { “OK” } )
else
--Registration worked
end
end
local commands_json = {
[“request”] = {
[“application”] = PW_APPLICATION,
[“push_token”] = DeviceID,
[“language”] = system.getPreference(“ui”, “language”),
[“hwid”] = system.getInfo(“deviceID”),
[“timezone”] = 3600, – offset in seconds
[“device_type”] = 3 – 1 – iphone, 2 – blackberry, 3 – android, 4 – nokia, 5 – WP7, 7 – mac
}
}
local jsonvar = {}
jsonvar = json.encode(commands_json)
local post = jsonvar
local headers = {}
headers[“Content-Type”] = “application/json”
headers[“Accept-Language”] = “en-US”
local params = {}
params.headers = headers
params.body = post
network.request ( PW_URL, “POST”, networkListener, params )
end
local function onNotification( event )
if event.type == “remoteRegistration” then
registerWithPushWoosh(event.token)
end
end
[/lua]
BTW before starting this I recommend having the Corona Android push example tested and working if you are unsure about how this stuff works.
