You basically have to implement this system on your server. The notification process is done in the following steps:

At the beginning of the application you ask "Apple servers" to register the device to accept notifications.
From this request you receive a token related to the device itself.
Send this token to your server, which will store it.
Whenever your server thinks you need to send notifications for the devices, it requests the Apple server with the token the device.
The Apple server tries to send the notification to the device.

There are external services that facilitate and assist in this process of avoiding implementing a server for this process. See this example that explains the whole process and how to deploy a server.
