Sending android push notification through node.js

Question

I have recently been trying to send push notification to my android and ios devices. For ios I found that node-apn module will be used for handling this,but for android I haven't come across anything of that sort. Any help will be much appreciated.

Did you got the solution for this. I want node.js RESTful api for sending notification to mobile devices so that I can make use the services. — Vinod Kumar Marupu

There is another alternative; android-gcm. It is super easy to use.

Code sample from documentation:

var gcm = require('android-gcm');

// initialize new androidGcm object 
var gcmObject = new gcm.AndroidGcm('API_KEY');

// create new message 
var message = new gcm.Message({
    registration_ids: ['x', 'y', 'z'],
    data: {
        key1: 'key 1',
        key2: 'key 2'
    }
});

// send the message 
gcmObject.send(message, function(err, response) {});

Here, registration Id's means, Where we can get ?

@VenkateshVoona - Hey, You've probably figured this out by now. But the Registration ID is the ID your app gets for that device when it registered for push notifications. You'll want to save those ID's when the App Registers itself with the Push Service.
