Android：Android推送通知应该使用什么？ Google Cloud Messaging或Parse.com

Question

I am working on an android project. Can anyone give me an idea what should I use for notification ? Using GCM it seems to be hard to implement where as using parse.com its seems easier. But is it recommended to use parse.com for notification?

Thanks in advance...

Nil, you have not mentioned two things. Is your app communicates with cloud/Server? And what is the backend your using, parse.com or something else(PHP,Java,.Net)?

Well, if you're using Parse.com as your backend support, i would recommend to use Parse push notifications. Parse uses GCM for Android push notifications.

If your backend is some other server, i will opt for GCM as you don't need to maintain data again on the parse. If you have different backend and want to use parse, app should communicate with the two servers one for actual communication and other for storing your device ID into parse.
