yes, a util that not only stores the regId (aka token), also the other
required data (as discussed on earlier threads)


Not to forget the MainActivity.onCreate() hook:
https://github.com/secondsun/devnexus2013demo/blob/master/coffeeExample/src/net/saga/android/coffeeexample/MainActivity.java#L23-L25

For Apple (not sure for google), a token (received via the Intent) _might_
change, so we should update would be something good (instead of just doing
POST)
