I want to implement a push notification service. The idea is to use the GCM Service. Is it possible to read the notifications both via web app (the app is written in php using laravel) and via mobile app for the authenticated users using the same technology?
I think it is possible, I also see this tutorial that can help you to achieve that. It also use PHP as a sample, so it seems like your work will be easier:)
It explains here the basic steps that you need to achieve push notification. It has a sample code and a screenshot to make you understand more the content of this tutorial.
In developing this application, it involves two parts, a GCM Server Application that create Web application using Php to send message to User via GCM Cloud server and GCM Client Application that create Android application which receive messages sent from GCM Server Web App.

I want to create the Xamarin Form app for both android and iOS in which when something events occurs or data update on server than server call my xamarin app and i will perform some task in my app. Push notification and SignalR both are not suitable for my case. is there anything like webhook in Xamarin form. There are many example for Web application but nothing i found in case of mobile application.
You can use the RESTful web service as a webhook.
Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for building web services. REST requests are made over HTTP using the same HTTP verbs that web browsers use to retrieve web pages and to send data to servers.

i need recommendations from you. I have a project which use web api back end and xamarin forms. Xamarin forms is multi-user apps. Depends to user location it sends post or get request to server side and some actions occur. But what to do when i need to send something to xamarin app from web api without request from it ?????? I mean when some event happen i need to send something like push notification to specific user in xamarin app ???? (like uber send notification to drivers or riders). How to implement this ???? i was thinking to use SignalR but not sure....please help ??? thnks in advance
If your goal is to implement real time communication (when the app is open or running in the background), you could use SignalR. However, SignalR won't allow you to have real notifications mechanism (i.e. getting a push notification when the app is closed and click on it to open the app). Using SignalR, your app UI would get updated if app is open but that's it because SignalR relies on active connections.
If you really want to implement push notifications, you should check the following links:
Firebase Cloud Messaging
Using FCM, app servers can send messages to a single device, to a
group of devices, or to a number of devices that are subscribed to a
topic. A client app can use FCM to subscribe to downstream messages
from an app server (for example, to receive remote notifications).

I implemented the .p12 Certificate for APN(Apple Push Notification) to my Windows Server.
Now I have an xamarin.forms App where i downloaded the Plugin.PushNotification.
I implemented in AppDelegate.cs RegisteredForRemoteNotifications, FailedToRegisterForRemoteNotifications and DidReceiveRemoteNotification Methods.
My question is, which Project (MVC, ASMX..) should I create on Server Side to send notifications to the Users who installed the App.
Furthermore I have an Portal programmed which is on this Server too. In this Portal I can send an message to the App too. But which Service do i Need ?
Thanks
No programming required at all :) Use https://onesignal.com for free, unlimited apps & notifications for iOS/Android + Web Push
In my WebApp I used PushSharp to send Notifications to different devices.
In my App I use Plugin.PushNotification and it works like a charm.
using push sharp for sending push notifications through FCM
I've been using ASP.NET and PushSharp to send push notifications to my iOS app clients with the simple following code (after certificate configurations etc):
//ASP.NET + PushSharp
AppleNotification notification = new AppleNotification(PushToken).WithAlert(message);
broker.QueueNotification<AppleNotification>(notification);
This worked perfectly on isolated hosts running classic IIS/ASP.NET but now I'm moving towards Windows Azure. When I try this code on Windows Azure, notifications sometimes fail to send, and restarting the website (Standard mode) helps. However, since this is an unreliable approach I've decided to move to Azure's Notification Hub service. I've created the hub, uploaded my certificates, started coding but I couldn't find the equivalent of my previous code. I don't need to broadcast messages to all users, I need to send a push notification to a single device, given that I have the push token. I've looked at Windows Azure ServiceBus Push Notifications APNS Architecture but the link provided at the answer is extremely confusing and I couldn't understand it. How can I, simply push a message to a push token on Windows Azure? Do I have to use notification hub? (I don't use a VM) Any simple approach is welcome, pure ASP.NET/PushSharp-based approach is preferred as I don't need to change my whole codebase.
I'm not sure what kind of object a PushToken is. The way Notification Hubs work is, rather than providing a one-to-one messaging model (where you must identify each and every recipient of the message, whether that is by channel, device token, or registration ID), it provides a tag-based model. However, this does not mean that tags can't be unique to individual users, and in fact you can used just about any token as a tag.
This is a new model, unlike Azure Mobile Services or direct use of APNS, so it's not likely to be directly portable from your existing code. But, in my opinion, the Notification Hubs model is simple once you understand tags. It supports native payloads (constructed by the server that is sending the notifications) and template payloads (where the template is constructed by the receiving device and provided to Notification Hubs at registration time, and then parameters in the template are supplied by the server when it sends the notifications to the templates).
I am looking to add authentication to my WP7 application. I currently have simple, unauthorized push notifications working thanks to this MSDN sample.
I am having difficulty figuring out exactly what I need to change in my code in order to get authentication. I have read this MSDN article and know I need to get a TLS certificate uploaded to the App Dev website (in progress) and get some info from it once it's verified.
Thanks for reading/helping!
If you mean code to change in your WP application, you shouldn't have to change anything. Authentication simply changes the way your web service communicates with the Microsoft Push Notification Service, rather than how the Microsoft Push Notification Service communicates with your app on the phone.
