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

Hey Michi, I realized that the code I pointed you to could be a bit confusing and also contains a small bug. I wrote this gist based on the quickstart example. Basically we register to 2 channels : mail and news, we store the channelID and map that with a String containing the service name, then in the onNotification we check which service to call : https://gist.github.com/sebastienblanc/9970129 Hope this example will make more sense !
