The last time I looked into this (maybe 6 months ago), this could only be achieved using non-standard/experimental server extensions with absolutely no guarantee of stability. This then led me to believe that it was one of those things that was theoretically possible, but not practically possible. Has that changed in the meantime?

I run an ejabberd server and for example the Client State Indicator (XEP-0352), which is one of the extensions that improve battery life for mobile clients, was experimental for a long time but at the same time also available for major servers (e.g. community edition of ejabberd) and mobile clients like Conversations (open source too). So in my experience, the battery consumption of a modern XMPP client is quite good. When people are complaining about the bad mobile experience they are mostly referring to the time before the mobile extensions were built.
