I have spent a long while searching for a guide on implementing PUSH for Android with Azure with no luck. Is this just not available yet?
If not, is there an alternative way I can implement this, perhaps by using HTTP Requests from the server side to another service that can Push to android?
Thanks
Windows Azure supports push notification through Mobile Services which is still a preview feature. And it currently only supports Windows Store, Windows Phone and iOS apps. Support for iOS hasn’t been available for that long which could mean that Microsoft is also working on other platforms like Android.
Your other option is to build something yourself, use existing tools like GCM or to use a third-party provider like Pushwoosh. The great thing about Pushwoosh is that they have a free plan, they support Android and they have a REST API which can be called from Windows Azure to create the notifications.
