A Meteor client code running on smartphone needs to send SMS using the phone sms app. How would you approach this task with out EmailSMS gateway?
All the SO posts I read were not Meteor specific. Any one tried this Cordova extensions and can give some feedback on how to use it? Thanks
The Cordova access rules you mention are only to handle special links that open the device's default app which handles the corresponding service.
Think of it exactly like a Open a mail composer in a browser, that opens an email creation window from your default mail client when you click on the link. You can even pre-populate the body content of your SMS, like with the mailto link.
Now if I understand correctly your objective, you would like to automatically send an SMS, as if you had sent an email to an Email2SMS 3rd party service that would convert it to an SMS and send it to your recipient on your behalf. Except that you want to get rid of that 3rd party?
In that case, you would be interested in actual Cordova plugins for SMS functionality.

I want to implement logic to my xamarin.Forms application (for android and Ios), which sends notification to user when something new appears in database. For example when other user add an invitation to database, invited user will receive it. Thanks
If you want to send out push notifications, take a look at One Signal. It is free to use and in my experience is also the easiest to set up with Xamarin.Forms. You would need to follow their tutorial on how to get things set up for iOS, Android, and your server side implementations. After that when something in your DB changes just send a push notification from your server.
Here is a link to the Xamarin.Forms setup: One Signal - Xamarin.Forms
You can also use them to notify the users via email, however I have not tried that.
It depends completely on your underlying backend and services (REST? Websockets?, ...) and is to general to answer clearly.
For a good instruction how to use notifications in Xamarin.Android, take a look here:

Hi Recently I came to know about wechat mini program but as material is very less so I am unable to differentiate the official account and mini program.
I came to know that wechat mini doesnt have push notification but client wants to send the push notification from mini program.
The requirement is that mini program URL will be configured in official menu URL so when User will click to the link wechat will redirect to mini porgram when user clicks on any action then an API call should happen back to the offical program and send the push notification using union ID. Is my assumption right and is it possible?
If by "push notification", you mean sending template message to WeChat users. WeChat's mini-program does offer an API for that.
Here's an article on how to do it
And the other solution as you mentioned, using unionID to get user's official account openID to send a message would also work, but the process is way more complicated. Because currently, WeChat doesn't have a simple API that let you retrieve user's openID with unionID. Meaning you will have to store the relationship of unionID and openID by yourself.
Hope this helps. :D
I think you maybe need the customer service message function,here is the article from the official sites:

I have a website. Currently I have been sending sms during some transactions as notification.
I want to use push notification instead of sms. But I don't have any mobile app.
How can I send push notifications without a app. Are there any way to do it?
Yes, Spontit enables you to send push notifications to all devices - desktop, iOS, Android, etc. You can do so for free and without your own app.
You can check out their API here.
As far as I know, there is no way to do this without developing an app for each platform (Android/iOS). You could also get away with something like a browser plugin. Essentially what your asking for is what your doing, an SMS or an Email. That is as close as you can get w/o an app. You can make a notification system on a website, but there is no way to push it to the user when they are not on your site w/o them downloading something like a plugin. :D
you can do this with https://pushed.co
they allow users to download their app and you push to the users with their app without needing to have your own mobile app
I have developed an android application with the Parse push notification service and I can send notification from the Parse website.
How can I send push notifications through my own website using ASP.net? Is there any way?
I checked the Parse documentation but i get confused, I would really appreciate it if someone would help me.
Thanks
I ran into similar confusion. I wasn't even sure how to properly setup the user so that I could send a push notification directly to them. Then I found the following post:
Channels and Targeted Push Notifications
Note the last item under the Channels heading:
Most apps might find it useful to have a channel for each user so that
they can send messages to a user across all their devices and have
users follow others in the app.
So, now I know that I should subscribe each user to a channel that uniquely identifies the user (e.g., the 'bobsmith#foo.org' channel).
After I have subscribed the user to their channel, I can call Parse's REST API via my ASP.NET application. See Sending Pushes in the Parse REST API Developers Guide.
For an ASP.NET/C# example of how to submit a push notification check out this answer.
the thing is that we already have a backend that handles all the push notification process. From device registration on our DB and notification handling on the device and notification sending to Apple and Google servers...Looking into Parse I saw that it has a lot of things that will take us a lot of time to develop but mostly on the process that sends the notification to the devices.
So...I need to know if devices can register in our backend, then from our backend to Parse and then send push trough Parse. Is this possible? Image below.
Thanks!!
Yes this is possible. You'll need setup your push certificates with Parse and register each device's push token with a Parse Installation object's deviceToken field for it to work. All this is documented on their web site. You'll need to setup a Parse User object for each user as well as each Installation is associated with a single User.
