Push Service Providers - Engage customers with push notification services

If you want to add push notifications to your app you have two choices. You can either program the server-side components yourself or you can sign up with a push notification service provider.

The alternative is a Push Notification service provider. With a good service provider you should have the bandwidth you need and be able to push messages to your app running on all the popular mobile platforms. The service provider will also have features like customer targeting by location or some other group criteria.

Your content and services can be used in new scenarios including access from the lock screen and hands-free use. Apps adopt SiriKit by building an extension that communicates with Siri, even when your app isn’t running. The extension registers with specific domains and intents that it can handle. For example, a messaging app would likely register to support the Messages domain, and the intent to send a message. Siri handles all of the user interaction, including the voice and natural language recognition, and works with your extension to get information and handle user requests.
