Worklight Push Notification best approach - Push or Poll

Question

I'm new to mobile/worklight app development. I would like to know the best approach for push notification. Trigger the notification from backend whenever some change happens or polling in regular interval of time?

Answer 1

There is no "best approach". There is "what fits best your needs".

Since you did not actually explain those needs, what you can do is review the following to get a better grasp of your possibilities and potential topologies for push notifications, as well as an overview and pros & cons.
