Android push message without gcm possible?

Question

Is there any possibility to implement push-messages to android without google cloud messaging?

I already took a view on openmobster but it does not satisfy my needs.

I need to:

• create push-messages to an android device
• self-hosted

A complete sync-framework (with REST) for android would even be better :)

Thank you

Answer 2

Rabbitmq works perfectly fine, but I dont know about effectiveness. Roaring Rabbit of CloudAMQP.com is supporting only 100 concurrent connections and 229$ per month. What if you have more than 100 mobiles that are currently connected to rabbit. I made the push with cloudamqp.com' little lemure. May be you need to have a rabbitmq server in ec2.
