Push notifications service for Ionic app

I'm developing a ionic app and I need to use push notifications. I found lot of informations but I'm not sure about few stuff.

1) For make it works I will need a notification server. And probably a node.js server with a DB for save a tokens or what is it. I found a pushbots.com or Google Cloud Messaging or Apple Push Notification Service for iOS. I don't know what I should use. But what I need is send a notification from iOS to Android. In this case I don't know if I can use GCM or I have to use APN. Should I use something else?

2) I found this plugin: phonegap-plugin-push and I think there isn't any solution else. There is not much informations about a notification services.

3) My purpose is sending an notification from one device to another like a message app.

I will be very glad for any information about this.

Thank you!

Another solution is OneSignal.

They offer free push service now. The main features of this service is:

  • 15 Minute Setup.
  • Real Time Tracking.
  • Incredibly Scalable.
  • A/B Test Messages.
  • Segmentation Targeting.
  • Automatic Delivery.

They also provide us RESTful API to push messages programmatically.

Visit their Cordova/Ionic Docs for more informations.

If you are using Ionic, they have a service you can use - https://apps.ionic.io/landing/push

I haven't used it myself, but it seems perfect for what you are trying to achieve? It covers all device types.
