Allow me to be the first to say… Coronium!!!

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread - but just noticed that Parse have announced support for GCM. I don’t have a clue about Push on Android, but seem to remembering people saying it wasn’t possible via Parse due to the lack of GCM support? Am I correct in this assumption; is it now possible?

EDIT

On a closer inspection it looks as though it’s still reliant on using Parse’s Android SDK.

Looks like we are waiting for them to allow this functionality to work with their REST API…but they’re moving in the right direction, I have full confidence. 

#124

Wasn’t that recent announcement from Parse confusing?

Any updates on this, i.e. getting push notifications to work with parse and corona for android, now that parse supports GCM?

My app is ready for production for iOS, but I’m now adapting it to make it suitable for Android. Device-to-device push notifications is very important (for inviting someone else to join in real-time) and I’m worried that I have to switch back end service (currently using Parse for users & installation registrations, so that I can send a push notification based on a user id (facebook id)…)

Any updates on Parse - Android compatibility?

And I need to create a site from which few people can send push notifications to the app. Is this possible with Netmera, for instance?

I use GameThrive for push notifications on all platforms.

Hi Patso. I help work on GameThrive.

We support this feature through our dashboard or API, depending on what your needs are. Let us know if you decide to try it out and you have any questions.

Hi George!
Actually I see couple of projects with Push Notifications coming. What I need is the ability to send post notifications via the custom website. Like you log in, fill the form and push send. Is this possible?

#132

I think Patso is asking is whether you expose a REST API which can be used embedded into our PHP code etc. Much like Parse and others do. I think the answer is yes based on what I’m seeing on http://docs.gamethrive.apiary.io/

It would be great (Apologies if I’m missing it) if GameThrive could provide a simple php code sample showing how to create a form page with fields to take input and then send push etc. 

Thanks much!!!

Yes, it is possible using the REST API as ksan mentioned.

I have a wordpress site that receives photos uploaded from my app and when I approve a photo to be shown, the user receives a Push notifying the user that his photo was approved.

#134

Here is a curl example you can copy paste into Terminal (Linux/mac) to test push to your own devices:

curl -X POST \       -H "Content-Type: application/json" \       -d '{"app\_id": "MY-APP-ID", "include\_ios\_tokens": ["MY-IOS-DEVICE-ID"], "include\_android\_reg\_ids": ["MY-ANDROID-REG-ID"], "contents": {"en": "Hello world"}}' \       https://gamethrive.com/api/v1/notifications

This thread has some PHP example: http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/47808-issue-with-api-call/

Thanks everyone! 
I’ll probably stick to GameThrive then.
