well, iOS and Android notifications aren't really doorbells,  but you can send a "message" to all clients that are registered in your Push Server.

we have a Java client 
http://aerogear.org/docs/guides/GetStartedwithJavaSender/

and a node.js client  for this
https://www.npmjs.org/package/aerogear-sender-client

Can a simple push client receive anything else other than version numbers?  If so, what does the sender need to do, and what does the client need to do?  (If there is a good example somewhere online I can work from that also.)

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.
