Sending android push notification through node.js

google-cloud-messaging, javascript, node.js

Solution

There is another alternative; android-gcm. It is super easy to use.

Code sample from documentation:

var gcm = require('android-gcm');

// initialize new androidGcm object 
var gcmObject = new gcm.AndroidGcm('API_KEY');

// create new message 
var message = new gcm.Message({
    registration_ids: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
    data: {
        key1: 'key 1',
        key2: 'key 2'
    }
});

// send the message 
gcmObject.send(message, function(err, response) {});

Problem

I have recently been trying to send push notification to my android and ios devices. For ios I found that node-apn module will be used for handling this,but for android I haven't come across anything of that sort. Any help will be much appreciated.
