Push Notifications with NodeJs

Question

I have a group chat implemented in Nodejs and socket.io and mobile application in worklight. Than there is Redis database storing messages. After a new message is send I want to send notification to all devices subscribed. Im have not idea how to put it together to work. I was thinking about adding socket.io to adapter but I founded that I dont know how. Than I was thinking about adding new route to group chat, so adapter can request new messages and process them. Any ideas how to continue or made it the best way?
