Can we achieve Push Notification only using NW Gateway?

[mathewzdavis]

Hi Experts,

We have developed a mobile app using NW gateway,exposing a custom workflow decision step, my requirement is to get a push notification to the mobile device whenever that workflow has been triggered. Can we achieve Push Notification to a mobile device only using NW Gateway? What are the technologies available to achieve the same?(I have tried with SMP)

Thanx & Regards

Mathew,

You can do this with SMP.

You need to subscribe the mobile application for push notifications, SMP can then send the push notifications using APNS or GCM.

See below document for info on how to implement this on Android:

I've planned to implement that for Apple's Push Notification Services for some months now but hadn't found time till now.

IMHO it should be easily possible if you place the generated certificate (generated on developer.apple.com) in your SSL Client PSE using transaction strust and implement the needed HTTP Request to (in my case Apple's) the push notification service. It would be best to encapsulate this functionality inside an ABAP class which can then be used throughout your system by any developer very easily.

It should be possible yes. There is plenty of iOS and Android documentation about push notifications. You'll need to get the token on the device, store that somewhere on GW, make sure your connection between GW and APNS/GCM server is ok and then send the push notification send command to GCM/APNS.
