Whatever. If you think power consumption is not a matter of concern on choosing a push notifications technology (as well as other mobile services) what can I do?

"Several" is very accurate :) I would say so that 99% of the companies disagree on that

There are also several companies clamming that their push notifications services (including geo-fencing) drain less battery, etc., etc.

Miguel, do you have any references? If there are hundreds posts about it, I would love to read.

That's not the experience we have... There are hundreds (thousands?) of posts about this matter. There are several strategies to keep the processor alive to do its work and Android (using GCM) minimizes the overload, it's more or less a consensual idea. You'll find in the Internet several articles about this too.

Push messages don't drain the battery that much.  They all come in over the GCM socket which is refresh every 15 minutes or so.

Keeping an open socket doesn't drain the battery that badly.  IN a (contrived) experiment I had a socket which sent a packet every 5 minutes to the device.  Over the course of 5 hours the app didn't even register on things which had drained the battery.

On Android you can't turn notifications off in the same way as iOS.
