- drivebyacct2 15y agoIndeed, yet MANY seem to be ignorant of it. Facebook, Twitter, Google Voice, TweetDeck and many others that would benefit from the easy push notifications and the lessened battery use seem unwilling to implement it. Google Voice is the stunner in my opinion.

I thought Google Voice has been doing this for nearly a year and a half. Maybe not using the same C2DM framework you and I can use, but it certainly seems like they are using a push protocol like Google Talk & Gmail on Android use and are not polling all the time. edit: it also looks like Facebook has been using C2DM since an update in December of last year: http://www.androidcentral.com/facebook-andrd-finally-gets-chat http://www.androidcentral.com/facebook-andrd-finally-gets-ch...
- drivebyacct2 15y agoNeither use C2DM though, they use their own solutions and they frankly don't work well. My email is pushed to me within 120 seconds of it appearing in my inbox. I never get Facebook push notifications (I just simply never have, and it is configured properly), the Messages are terribly inconsistent (they appear in the app, the Messenger app, and sometimes my desktop will grab a message and I'm completely unable to access it from either Facebook app). Additionally, Google Voice will received messages, 10, 20 minutes "late", with no explanation or reason.
- num1 15y agoWell, In defense of Facebook nothing about the app works well. It's not like they decided not to use C2DM, they just didn't do anything right.

- sgarman 15y agoThe latest official Twitter app on android now supports C2DM. It works well.
