Apps What is the best way to implement push server-side app for android?

I'm developing an Android app that requires 2 (or more) devices to communicate with each other. I tried using Google Cloud Messaging but I was disappointed to find out that the GCM max capacity is 100 messages, so it is broken and does not fit my requirements.

I was thinking about java sockets. Every device will open a new socket (or keep its socket open) and communicate with a group of sockets (devices).

In order to communicate this way I need a server-side app that can send messages to the client (android device). So I figured out that HTTP or web-service won't help me. Am I right?

What is the best way for me to implement such a server-side app?
