I w'd like to know is there any way to send push notification with different icon than app's. I'm using Unity Parse SDK and able to send push notifications for both Android and iOS. Thanks for any suggestions!
Yes it's possible. You need to write a Unity3d plugin for your specific mobile platform.
Read the official unity3d manual for:
Android: Building Plugins for Android
iOS: Building Plugins for iOS
You need those plugins to call platform specific functions.

I'd like to develop a simple mobile application for both Android and IOS, the core part of the app being push notifications.
I started using React Native, with Expo, to easily support both Android & IOS. But while approaching to push notifications I ran in multiple problems, lots of out dated contents and documentations.
I tried using Firebase Messaging but in the documentation the are some confiugurations regarding platform specific files, which i don't have in the project. I tried putting some stuff (such as package name) manually in the app.json but it didn't work in the end.
I tried Expo's push notification service but for some reason i can't even get the token (testing on a physical device) from the example code in the documentation
Reading some pages of the Firebase docs seems that using react-native-firebase should easily work for both plaforms, but in other pages it seems to be platform dependant.
If you happened to use push notifications for both android & ios, is it possible to do it in only one project using React Native and Expo? If so do you have some documentation that happened to work for you?
Thanks.
Can anyone please help to guide on the implementation of pushNotification on cross platform (Android and ios ) using React Native.
Use following library to implement push notification. https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification. Also there are more library available to implement push notification.
If you are using expo for your react-native project this is a quite good starting point.

They also have a larger guide at this link Push Notifications
I'm new to Xamarin Forms, local notifications and push notification can be implemented in the cross platform or is it a device specific feature in Xamarin forms .and how?
Lots of down votes for the question though I shall give some leads on basis of how did I done this.
I used Plugin.PushNotification which can get from NuGet Gallery. It can be used for Xamarin.Forms also but only support Android & iOs now.
For Android you will needed to configure Firebase Cloud Messaging and for iOs you need to done with APNs. You can refer below links for configuring Android & iOs with FCM & APNs respectively.
Refer this youtube video for Android FCM configuration
Refer this youtube video for iOS APNs configuration
After that you will need to do some works on you project.
Every steps are detailed on this link.
Don't forget to put some efforts on your queries before asking any question on SO.
Hope this will helps you. Happy Coding.
I am analyzing phonegap usage for 4 mobile apps which will be created for
iOS (iPhone & iPad 4.2.1+)
Android (2.2+)
Blackberry(5.0+)
Windows phone (7+)
I could not find native support for push notifications in phonegap. Though I could google for push notification support for iOS and Android using different frameworks like pushwoosh and urban air.
Is there a common framework which can address push notifications for all the above mentioned platforms?
By now, there's a Push Notification Plugin for Cordova/Phonegap available: Cordova Push Notifications Plugin.
It currently supports Android, iOS and Windows Phone 8.
I know that it is still not the common framework you wished for, but at least it accommodates these 3 platforms, which means you don't have to deal with separate plugins for each of these platforms anymore, as it's been the case before.
There is no native support in phonegap for push notifications. Since these vary by platform, there are plugins, though.
You'll have to find a plugin for each platform you want. Here's a plugin for Android: https://github.com/marknutter/GCM-Cordova
and here's one for iOS: https://github.com/phonegap/phonegap-plugins/tree/master/iOS/PushNotification I didn't find plugins for Windows7 or Blackberry, but all I did was a cursory search.
As mentioned above, there are services that provide some level of cross platform compatibility and provide server side APIs, so that you can send push to devices via a REST call (or something similar). These services also may provide some level of phonegap integration (via plugins).
Here are the services I have found that support the 4 platforms you mentioned:
Urban Airship: http://urbanairship.com/
Pushwoosh: http://pushwoosh.com/
Xtify: http://xtify.com/ (now an ibm company, here's the platforms they support: http://developer.xtify.com/display/sdk/Download+the+IBM+Push+Notification+SDKs )
I would use the Urban Airship plugins for Android and iOS.

As an alternative to push notifications you may keep a streaming connection open and receive your notifications there.
Obviously it is required that the application is kept alive for you to receive such messages.
If you think this is a viable solution for your needs you may try Lightstreamer: it works with PhoneGap on the cited platforms without the need of any plugin.

Anyone tried out Titanium c2dm for android?I am using Titanium version 1.8.1 And i want to do small Push notification Using C2DM server.If anyone Implemented help me!Thank U
#Sugan.s Titanium has direct access to Urban Airship which supports push notifications to Android, Blackberry, and iOS. It's the most recommended, and easiest approach to Push notifications within Ti.
As suggested already, Parse is another great resource.
