My team needs to send a push notification to BlackBerry devices and know (as soon as possible) whether the push notification got to the app. The BlackBerry Push Plus (as opposed to the BlackBerry Push Essentials) gives us this capability. We now are looking to develop this, but we found out about this company that has support for BlackBerry, iPhone and Android push notifications: Urban Airship. While it's clear that we can send the Push notifications to the BB device using their service, what's not clear is whether there's a way for us to be notified whether the push notification did reach the BlackBerry app.
Urban Airship doesn't currently support the return receipt functionality that BlackBerry Push Plus provides.
You're correct that Urban Airship does support the basic push functionality across the various BlackBerry Push services.
(I work for Urban Airship, feel free to contact us with more specific feedback and details on your use-case if you'd like.)

I struggle to find a solution how can I send web push notification to iOS devices? For Android there is no problem I use service worker and GCM.
But I found service worker for iOS push notifications is under construction.Is there a way for iOS devices?
If by web application you consider an app that opens in Safari the answer is: you can't send web notifications to iOS. Documentation:
Notifications for websites do not appear on iOS
If your web application is a native app with web view in it for content loading then you'll have to use native push notifications.
Is there a way for iOS devices?
It's not possible at the moment and there isn't any workaround for websites.
You need to create a native or hybrid app for iOS if you want push notifications.
Let’s ask Apple to add Web Push Notifications to iOS
I'm working with push notifications using Appcelerator.
Is it possible that this important bug
https://jira.appcelerator.org/browse/TIMOB-18282
is still open?
The bug occurs when an ios app receive a push notification. If the app is closed, nothing is fired.
On iOS, there is no way to handle a push notification is it arrives when the app is closed.
I'm so disappointed. Push notifications are important in modern apps! And in Appcelerator don't work!
First of all that bug is still open because it can never be solved and in fact it is a limitation from Apple itself or even it is the limitation of every mobile OS.

Read the above link for more details and you will have your all doubts cleared about Push notifications. Currently Titanium support best Push Notification handling when compared to cross-platform frameworks.
After reading above post, if you have any other doubts, then we are happy to help!
The new version of Pushbullet app (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/pushbullet/id810352052?mt=8) for iOS and Mac can show you all the notifications you get on your phone inside their Mac app.
Not just the notifications going to the app itself - all notifications from all applications.
How did they manage to do that? I can't figure out which APIs they are using to do this.
In General, Apple device gives the access to Notification to BLE, so that Notifications can be shown on any onboard system like Car's Dashboard. So I think they are using ani API related to that.

PS: I use App42 to send the push notification.
I am going to develop a Push notification application in Blackberry (OS 5.0 ,6.0). I did little R-n-D on Blackberry Push notification services.
Covers all the basic Info

Push Essentials VS Push Plus
https://developer.blackberry.com/devzone/develop/platform_services/push_features.html
I have registered for Dummy application

I installed the Push SDK, Provided by RIm
http://developer.blackberry.com/java/documentation/installing_the_sdk.html#jza1355764941890
Now My question are :
How I integrate the push SDK with my BB Eclipse?
How I test the push notification service?
And what is the difference between BB push Service vs Urban Airship service? I know how to implement Urban Airship BB api ,but this time I don't want to use Urban Airship.
If we implement for live, what is the pricing difference between above mentioned service. Because i have'nt found any pricing doc, that's why I am asking.
