How can i use RabbitMQ for sending mobile push notifications?

Scope:

I have an app that i am starting to build that has the "subscriber/publisher" situation on it's core.

For those who don't know, the idea behind this schema is that:

1) Someone creates a "Topic"

2) Endpoints subscribe to a "Topic"

3) Any message published to a certain "Topic" is pushed to the subscribers of said "Topic"

Considerations:

I am going to use Xamarin.IOS and Xamarin.Android as the framework to build this mobile app (so that it can be crossplatform from the begining).

RabbitMQ:

The RabbitMQ service is built on top of the AMQP pattern which solves my entire problem of modeling the "Topic/Subscriber/Publisher" problem.

The Problem:

Now that I have the problem modeled via the RabbitMQ framework, I need those "Messages" that are "pushed" to each endpoint (mobile device) to actually be a "Push Notification" instead of the standard message that will arrive to that device.

How can I model my solution to accomplish that ?

Thanks in advance.

RabbitMQ can't send out the push notification itself.

For each message consumed from the a RabbitMQ queue, the "Consumer" service needs to invoke whatever push notification backend/API you are using (e.g. Firebase, AWS, etc.) using their SDK.
