If you want good battery life, there is no alternative to the mobile notifications provided by the platform, because otherwise you have to always keep your own connection open to your server.
- catdog 8y agoThat's simply not true if implemented correctly. Maintaining an open connection yourself has at most minimal impact on battery life. See for example Conversations (XMPP client) which is able to do this just fine on Android.

Google brainwashed everyone to force them to use their push service, which is just plain awful... (and requires open connection... sic!)
