Push Notifications for Apps?

[Stangs55]

Does Android 2.0/Droid support push notifications for apps?

I rely on it quite heavily on my iPhone for apps like eBay and sportstacular.

It should since older versions support it. There are also some 3rd party app notifiers.

Xtify has created a Push Notification Service for Android applications- allowing developers to push messages directly to their audience.

Messages can be sent using our webservice and can also be configured using our Campaign Manager tool.

The Xtify platform also allows you to geo-trigger notifications - you can set messaging rules based on a user's proximity to particular locations.

Check out Xtify Developer: Home to learn more about our service and SDK

Thanks!

You need to look at Android Cloud To Device Messaging C2DM. This is the official solution you want.
