I’ve downloaded the Microsoft sample code for registering your app to push notifications to. Sample
I have sent the channel URI to myself in an email, and I believe I have all the relevant information to actually send a push. But I’ve never dealt with the server-side sending of a push notification.
The sample app should just output whatever I send.
I can’t find any pre-existing apps to help me. I just want to be able to see some information in the sample app window. From there I should be able to figure out what to send in future, headers, etc.
Is there a sample app, where I just put in the Channel Uri, token, SID and secret, and it’ll send something like “Hello world” to my app? Preferably with source, so I can take it apart and see how it’s being done.
Take a look at the tutorial for the Windows Azure Mobile Services Push Notification:
