I ran into a similar phantom-traffic problem from Go ignoring the Linux default for TCP keepalives and sending them every 15 seconds, very wasteful for mobile devices. While I quite like the rest of Go, I don't see why they have to be

I recommended FCM for iOS instead of APNS because OP is already using it. For iOS clients, FCM just forwards notifications to APNS.

UnifiedPush is compatible with WebPush: both just involve an HTTP POST to a specific URL. If your application server supports WebPush, it can send encrypted notifications to UnifiedPush servers (that is how we're planning to support Te
