Use GCM on AWS EC2 server

Question

I am trying to setup the notification system for my mobile App. We have our server hosted on EC2. Is there a way to setup and use the GCM services without using the SNS services. Is SNS mandatory to use to send notifications through AWS?

Answer 1

You don't have to use SNS on AWS - we do it without - the code is too extensive to post here, but take a look at this example which is in PHP

You can use Google AppEngine quite easily (free) full examples/tutorials here and here .
