I know Google has some stuff for Android buried in
Google Play Services.<br>

In general I think it might be less big brother if
instead of the user reporting their location we add in
metadata to filter incoming messages. This will have
us sending more metadata but we don't have to worry
about what if some bad guy compromises the server and
start following his mother-in-law.</div>

I don't like the push server knowing every user's location. Instead
of the push server deciding to send to a user based on her location
the push server should send a "filter" property with the message the
client can use to determine if it should show the message.<br>
