ejabberd, node.js, push-notification, xmpp, xmppframework
Solution
If you want to send push notifications with ejabberd community edition, you need to add an ejabberd module, which sends the offline messages to a specified push notification provider. This provider send the notifications to apple APNS or googles GCM. You could develop a module by self or maybe you will find some in inet. mod_zeropush (https://github.com/ZeroPush/mod_zeropush) would be one of them, but the zeropush service by self is canceled. Another one would be mod_onesignal (https://github.com/nobreak/mod_onesignal). OneSignal is a free to use Push Notification provider.
