PushSharp

A server-side library for sending Push Notifications to iOS (iPhone/iPad APNS), Android (C2DM - soon Google Cloud Message), Windows Phone, and Blackberry devices!

UPDATE: June 29, 2012 Please check out the Google-GCM branch to see this work in progress. It's almost complete! UPDATE: June 27, 2012 Google just announced that Google Cloud Messaging will take the place of the now Deprecated C2DM. I plan on integrating Google Cloud Messaging ASAP!

Features

• Supports sending push notifications for many platforms:
  • Apple (APNS - iOS - iPhone, iPad)
  • Android (C2DM - Phone/Tablets)
  • Windows Phone 7 / 7.5 (and 8 presumably when it's released)
  • Blackberry (Not fully functional)
• Fluent API for constructing Notifications for each platform
• Auto Scaling of notification channels (more workers/connections are added as demand increases, and scaled down as it decreases)
• Asynchronous code where possible, use of library is very event oriented
• 100% managed code awesomeness for Mono compatibility!

• How to Configure & Send Apple Push Notifications using PushSharp

Some sample action!

Using the library should be easy, and the platform fairly abstracted away... Here's some sample code:

//Create our service	
PushService push = new PushService();

//Wire up the events
push.Events.OnDeviceSubscriptionExpired += new Common.ChannelEvents.DeviceSubscriptionExpired(Events_OnDeviceSubscriptionExpired);
push.Events.OnChannelException += new Common.ChannelEvents.ChannelExceptionDelegate(Events_OnChannelException);
push.Events.OnNotificationSendFailure += new Common.ChannelEvents.NotificationSendFailureDelegate(Events_OnNotificationSendFailure);
push.Events.OnNotificationSent += new Common.ChannelEvents.NotificationSentDelegate(Events_OnNotificationSent);

//Configure and start Apple APNS
var appleCert = File.ReadAllBytes(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "AppleSandbox.p12"));
push.StartApplePushService(new ApplePushChannelSettings(false, appleCert, "test"));

//Configure and start Android C2DM
push.StartAndroidPushService(new Android.AndroidPushChannelSettings("<SENDERID>", "test", "<APPID>"));

//Configure and start Windows Phone Notifications
push.StartWindowsPhonePushService(new WindowsPhone.WindowsPhonePushChannelSettings());

//Fluent construction of a Windows Phone Toast notification
push.QueueNotification(NotificationFactory.WindowsPhone().Toast()
	.ForEndpointUri(new Uri("<DEVICE-ENDPOINT-URL-HERE"))
	.ForOSVersion(WindowsPhone.WindowsPhoneDeviceOSVersion.MangoSevenPointFive)
	.WithBatchingInterval(WindowsPhone.BatchingInterval.Immediate)
	.WithNavigatePath("/MainPage.xaml")
	.WithText1("Alert Text!")
	.WithText2("You have 7 new things!"));
	
//Fluent construction of an iOS notification
push.QueueNotification(NotificationFactory.Apple()
	.ForDeviceToken("<DEVICETOKEN>")
	.WithAlert("Alert Text!")
	.WithSound("sound.caf")
	.WithBadge(7));

//Fluent construction of an Android C2DM Notification
push.QueueNotification(NotificationFactory.Android()
	.ForDeviceRegistrationId("<C2DM-DEVICE-ID>")
	.WithCollapseKey("LATEST")
	.WithData("alert", "Alert Text!")
	.WithData("badge", "7"));

Yet to Come

• More thorough Testing!
• Blackberry support
