[aerogear-dev] Geottagged notifications

[Erik Jan de Wit]

Hi Miguel,

This sounds like something we do in our aerodoc application. There the devices get registered with the alias that is the username of the logged in user, so for example a user with username john gets ‘john’ as an alias. The application monitors the location and periodically sends location changes back to our server. Then on our server we can determine  who to send the message (who is in the specified radius). Then we send, using the alias, a message to the users that match the query. Using the alias we can send to a specific user, if we want to notify all users then we can send without the alias to notify all.

Hope this helps,
	Erik Jan
