If you want to make it easier on yourself, it's also possible to use a managed notification service for sending the push notification such as toast and tile to devices running your application.

A great benefit of the service, is that you only need to have your application register with their web service, and then your done. They handle all the sending and status changes for your devices. Free subscription with 600 notifications a month, great for developers, and decent plans for larger amounts of notification and attached devices.

Wow so many questions :)

This sample was created with a previous CTP and it does not work with the current version. Let me update it!

Just for clarity:

The WPF application is simulating a service that sends messages to the WP7 through the notification service. So you have to add a link that identifies your phone for the service. The other input is just some bla bla, nothing else. (the message you want to send, like "hello from wpf".

Now I'm gonna update this article

Was anyone able to create a Silverlight app pushing push notifications to the phone? All I've seen so far are using WPF or a web service.

I'm getting an invalid cross thread exception when the phone is trying to receive the notification. Anyone else got this?

In order to get this sample to work with the April Refresh, you need to add your publisher name to the app element in wmappmanifest. Once you do that, it should work again. http://download.microsoft.com/download/D/9/A/D9A6B6ED-D1CF-4FB3-86BD-62A55959175F/ReleaseNotes.htm

Something is broken with the April Refresh CTP. All "channel.ChannelUri" is always NULL.

What is "channel name" in this sample?

Amit Kumar:

Yes, absolutely! You may want to use raw notifications in that case, since if you app is running it would be nice to automatically present the news in your UI without the phone displaying toasts.

Amit Kumar — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 07:53:02 GMT

if application is already running then can i still receive push notifications? multiple in sequence while app is still on?

I don't know about the vibration since I only have the emulator. It definietly gives you a sound notification as well. If i have to guess i would go with vibration too (IPhone does the same)

Can the push notification switches on the phone or alert the user via the vibration/sound?

Did any one know how to implement the security with WP7 applications?

Thanks

Hi...It is nice article to start with Push Notification in WP7 but no need to subscribe for the event HttpNotificationReceived for toast notifications. If we want to catch the toast notification in WP7 application we can subscribe for ShellNotificationReceived event.

But HttpNotificationReceived event is required for Raw Notifications.

Thanks
