Abstract
This disclosure is directed to providing notifications to mobile devices, which may piggy-back on other communications exchanged between a mobile device and one or more servers. By piggy-backing, or otherwise adding small amounts of additional data to routine communications, the mobile device may avoid polling the server for notifications of pending messages for the mobile device or reduce a frequency of polling for the notifications. When polling is used to supplement the piggy-backing, a frequency of the polling may be based on a variable threshold amount of time.
