I know of GCM , but I find it too complex, is there an easier way?
If you do not know any, and if you want to explain more about GCM , I'm grateful.
Parse.com has a very simple push service to use.
Initialize the service in your application in the OnCreate method
Parse.initialize(this, "YOUR_APP_ID", "YOUR_CLIENT_KEY");
Enable to receive notification
ParsePush.subscribeInBackground("", new SaveCallback() {
@Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Log.d("com.parse.push", "successfully subscribed to the broadcast channel.");
} else {
Log.e("com.parse.push", "failed to subscribe for push", e);
}
}
});
Then just send the push through the web interface:
