After days of work. I chose to work with Urbanairship which provides a full push server:

Dim request As WebRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://go.urbanairship.com/api/push/broadcast/")
Dim postData As String = "{""aps"": {""badge"": ""+1"", ""alert"": ""Estez Mohamad lamaa!"",""sound"": ""default""}}"
request.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("uorecode", "uorkey")
request.Method = "POST"
Dim byteArray As Byte() = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData)
request.ContentType = "application/json"
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length
Dim dataStream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream()
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length)
dataStream.Close()
Dim response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
dataStream = response.GetResponseStream()
Dim reader As New StreamReader(dataStream)
Dim responseFromServer As String = reader.ReadToEnd()
Console.WriteLine(responseFromServer)
reader.Close()
dataStream.Close()
response.Close()

I use Prowl for notifications from ASP.NET:

public static void PushNotification(string header, string message)
{
    new Thread(() =>
        {
            var prowlURL = string.Format("https://api.prowlapp.com/publicapi/add?apikey={YOURKEY}&application={0}&description={1}", header, message);

            WebClient wc = null;
            try
            {
                wc = new WebClient();
                wc.UploadString(new Uri(prowlURL), "");
            }
            catch
            {
            }
            finally
            {
                if (wc != null)
                {
                    wc.Dispose();
                    wc = null;
                }
            }
        }) { Name = "PushNotification", IsBackground = true }.Start();
}

It is definitely finished. I used it, and it works great.

However i'm not sure what's its licensing.
