Android device needs to be connected to server - C2DM, polling or something third?
I'm currently in the process of developing an app which has some very demanding needs. The Project An application which can communicate with a server is needed. Small messages has to be send to the app which could display a notification or start an activity. The Demands Client needs to be sure that the phone is 'connected' at all times. The client expects that the app can tell when it's no longer connected (or able to connect) to the server it tells the user. Client needs to be able to send a message to individual devices If the client needs to broadcast a message to the connected devices and
