将推送通知从Android发送到iOS，反之亦然？

Question

I've just learned that its going to be pretty tough for me to realize an app that can send a push notification to another device, BUT: is it even worse to send it from Android to iOS respectively iOS to Android ? I know it's possible because WhatsApp does it, but okay, WhatsApp... The way I need it is, on Phone A (Android) a user clicks on a button "Send 'ring'" to user B (iOS) . When A clicks that Button, an AlertDialog (UIAlertView) shall appear on user B's screen. That's just to describe what I want to do, it obviously won't only send a 'ring'.

Any suggestions or good tutorials?

To do this, you need to implements the server-side logic, but everithing it's much simple if you use some services like Parse

Here the docs related to iOS and Android .

They have their SDK, there is a pretty good documentation, you can setup everything very quickly. We are using Parse a lot recently and (specially for notifications) it's very helpful.

There are others services like this (most of them based on node.js):
