Abstract
Pushing data to mobile devices can be problematic because mobile platforms may support a number push services, each of which have different cost and reliability characteristics. The problem of being able to push data to multiple different types of mobile devices from a single server is solved by a push service aggregator supporting multiple push services. Upon receiving a push request, one or more push services are selected for pushing data to a client. The selection may be based on a delivery profile included with the push request, information about the client, past performance of the push services, current status of the push services, or combinations of these. The status of the push may be tracked and monitored so as to retry in the case of non-delivery.
