Microsoft Push Notification Service is a service for Windows Phone which provides a resilient, dedicated, and persistent channel to send data to a Windows Phone app.

Microsoft Push Notification Service (MPNS) is a service for Windows Phone which provides a resilient, dedicated, and persistent channel to send data to a Windows Phone app.

The general flow of the service :

  1. An app requests a push notification URI from the Microsoft Push Notification Service (MPNS).

  2. The app sends the notification URI to a 3rd party server.

  3. The 3rd party server uses the notification URI to send a push notification to MPNS.

  4. MPNS routes the push notification to the app.

There are three types of push notifications that can be sent to a Windows Phone app :

  1. Toast Notification - Displays a toast notification if the app is not running. Tapping on that notification launches the app.

  2. Tile Notification - Visually updates the app's tile.

  3. Raw Notification - Delivers raw data to the app. Available only when the app in already running.
