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

[Michi Oshima]

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-Registration-of-quot-Mobile-Variant-instance-quot-w-Unified-Push-Server-tt2805.html#none


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?
