[aerogear-dev] Unregistration from push server missing

[TadeasKriz]

I know that Apple is kinda strict about this but if they have it in system it's kinda different story than with Android, which doesn't have this and leave it all to developers. So at least for Android it's definitely needed feature. And well that was my point from at the first place, that aerogear-android should have this feature. And you're right that this is what's the JIRA ticket for, the device-side call to server for unregistration.

Example real usage: in application settings there might be a checkbox to disable notifications, so the user probably won't like receiving push messages which would then be discarded by the device (it'd be a waste of his data package). It seems to me like it wasn't left out on purpose, but rather forgotten to be added. Any thoughts on this?
