I am collecting ANIDs from my application and I was wondering is there a way to send the phone a message based off of ANIDs?

If you mean messages like notifications, the only way to do this is through the notification service, by creating a channel on the client and sending this to your web service. There's no mechanism by which the ANID can be used to avoid those steps.

  • That is what I'm finding out... Do you happen to have a really easy example of how I can do notifications via channels? The examples I'm finding don't answer all my questions and most of the examples don't seem to work.. So I need a very basic example. – webdad3 Jan 10 '11 at 01:31
  • The training kit has some stuff out of date from a change made in beta. The doco is up to date though, adding links. – Mick N Jan 10 '11 at 02:04
  • I think I've asked this before, can you send a push notification from a PHP webservice? I'm trying to modify that code you sent with the following: http://www.barattalo.it/2010/08/09/send-push-notification-to-iphone-with-php-and-pushme-to/ but it doesn't seem to be working.... Also will the emulator receive notifications from an outside source? – webdad3 Jan 10 '11 at 02:50
