I don't have any background on push technology and I need to learn how to make it work on Android as quickly as possible. Unfortunately, I also don't know how to make a push on the server-side. My background here is absolute 0. :|

• Do you know any services that provide a dummy push so that my application can connect to it and wait for the data?
• How about a dummy real time push technology like what is on those voice chat applications?
• Can you give me some links on how to implement push technology on Android in code?
• What keywords should I search on Google if I want to study push technology on Android? (I am referring to the required classes, etc.)

It would be nice if I could also learn how to create a push technology on the server side but right now, I badly need to learn how to receive a real time push (like streaming voice for voice chat) in Android first and I don't know any services online wherein I can connect my application to.

Answer 1

take a look to Android Cloud to Device Messaging and to nice tutorial by Lars Vogel about server and client implementation here.

Answer 2

You can use a 3rd party solution like Urban Airship to handle server side push for both Android and iPhone.
