Re: [aerogear-dev] Possible to send anything other than version number to simple push?

Hi Lucas, Following might do what I want (sending a "door bell" message in one shot to all variants)? Send a unified message like the following one: - '{ "message": { "version":"123" }, "simple-push": "version=123" }' One slight deviation is that mobile variants like iOS and Android will get the message regardless of whether the the version number is "old" or not. Is this correct?

So I revisited the SimplePush spec<https://wiki.mozilla.org/WebAPI/SimplePush>;, and I noticed it describes support for subscription to multiple channels. Aerogear doesn't allow multiple channels per installation, correct? I dug up an old post from Matthias: - http://aerogear-dev.1069024.n5.nabble.com/aerogear-dev-SimplePush-Registr... Well yes, but multiple installations can belong to the same SPS Client.

- If an installation can subscribe to multiple channels, then it would allow me to get what I originally asked about: Me: 'My client application (javascript on browser) holds multiple types of data. It would be nice if I can send a notification saying "there's an update for this data type", rather than just "there's an update". Or, in general it'd be nice if I can send more information than just a monotonically increasing number. ' What do you think?
