Can i use elixir channels to push notification to android or IOS device like how google firebase do??

You would have to write a transport [0] (or something like that) for push notifications, probably (which are usually http/2 now) since they are different from websockets and long poll with which channels work right now. It would be easier to just use one of the libraries made exactly for push notif…

I wonder if Android lets its apps keep tcp connections open when the apps are not active. If not, that might not work. I think Apple doesn’t allow this, so to deliver a push notification to an iPhone when the app is not active you have to go through APNs.

How exactly is mqtt more battery friendly than something like apns? Both of these require a persistent tcp connection, do they not?

I went through the Pigeon library’s docs. It uses HTTP2. FCM too relies on persistent HTTP connection. Below I have attached a comparison of HTTP and MQTT. MQTT was designed for connecting devices, sensors, etc. over an unreliable network. It has a low network overhead. Thus, keeping persistent TCP…

I do like mqtt as well, but the overhead from ws/mqtt/http2 is negligible in comparison with that of tcp, so I don’t think there is much difference in practice.
