Parse push notification still going to stop on January 28, 2017? - parse-platform

I have an application which is hosted on Amazon (AWS) server and an app admin on godaddy.in admin. I can send push notification using parse server API (https://api.parse.com/1/push') to app user.
My question is:
Is parse server push notification also going to stop by 28 Jan 2017?
Can I send particular user push notification using parse server?
Thanks

the answer to your questions are:
Yes push notifications will also not going to work since the push is done through the parse.com server which will not be available. so parse.com with all of its services will not be available.
Sure you can. The current limitation is that when you send push with parse-server you must use your master key so in order to do it you need to create a cloud code function and from there to write the code that handle the push notifications. I already gave an answer on how it can be done .. you can read the detailed answer in here

It seems like you are yet to migrate your app from parse to your own self hosted environment. More details available here
After you might have done that, visit the Push Wiki page on how you can configure your push notification. It's a fairly easy process.

Cannot add Firebase server key to Appcentre / Push page not visible

According to all of the various instructions, when looking at an App setup within Appcenter I should expect to see a Push option so I can setup the Firebase Server Key. Apparnetly it's meant to be between Analytics and Settings. Nor can I find any discussion about this being a higher service or how to make it visible.
Where do I enter the Firebase Sever Key and configure push notifications now?
Our MBaaS services have been retired you can find more information about that in this blog post: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/appcenter/app-center-mbaas-retirement/
There is also a note in our docs about this: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/appcenter/push/

parse site registration and push notification

while am trying to sign up to parse site, i cant able to find the option for sign up.
we have to implement parse push notification feature in xamarin mobile application development.
Please guide if any one have idea about registering to parse and the steps to work with push notifications too.
Unfortunately Parse (the service) is no longer available, its last day was Jan 30th 2017. Here's the first announce they made back in Jan 26 2016. They gave a whole year to every developer with hosting solution in Parse to be able to migrate it.
Parse became an open source project known as Parse-Server. You can use this but it will have to be as a self-hosted service.
If you don't feel like hosting Parse there are out there a few solutions that could get you running with for the Push Notifications. Just to name a few you have: Azure now known as Mobile Center, you have Firebase Cloud Messaging, Amazon SNS and a few others.

Using Parse after Installing Parse Server

If I follow the directions and install the Parse server via Heroku and MongoDB, will I then be able to continue to use Parse commands in my code for current and new apps?
That is, will following these instructions allow me to continue using Parse for in-app purchases, data storage, and push notifications, or will I still have to learn the ins and outs of a different backend service?
Thanks,
Eli
After you set up the Parse Server via Heroku and MongoDB, you will be able to use most of your current code, with some slight modifications. In your client apps, you will have to point to the new server location in the Parse initialization.
As of right now, Parse server does not support in-app purchase verification, as far as I know. Right now it supports:
CRUD operations
Schema validation
Pointers
Users, including Facebook login and anonymous users
Files
Push Notifications
Installations
Sessions
Geopoints
Roles
Class-level Permissions
More information is available at the Official GitHub for Parse-Server including setup instructions and a quick setup button for Heroku

Notification for Config Variables changes on heroku

is there a way to setup Heroku to get a notification you when your config variables are updated?
thanks a lot
sorry for the very late reply, but I spoke with Heroku back then, and they said that it wasn't something that they did at the moment.
Very late to the party here, but just to give an updated answer. Heroku has support for webhooks so you can monitor those + more events on your end.
If you rather not build your own consumption pipeline, consider using LightFlare (I'm the creator) that has out of the box support of consuming Webhooks events from many services (heroku included) and notifies you at your choice(s) of destinations (slack / email etc ...).
LightFlare currently supports monitoring on services like:
Infra: GCP, AWS, Azure, heroku
Code/release: GitHub, bitbucket, netlify
Commerce: shopify, gumroad
More integrations based on our customers asks

Receiving pushed messages from web service

I am working as part of a team using Android and WP7 to create apps that communicate with a server. So ideally we want a consistent approach to receiving the data from the server.
I currently am using HTTPWebRequest to form a SOAP message and send it to a Java-based web service to receive messages (Adding as a ServiceReference didn't work no matter what I tried) At the moment it's a simple case of receiving the full list of things and just recreate the list each time via DespatchTimer to do periodic calls. But of course periodic pollin is likely to be ratehr battery intensive so not the best apporach for my needs.
I now need to change the code so that changes are pushed rather than polled. The team is looking at XMPP to do this as Android libraries are readily available to do this but I am having trouble finding open source libraries to do this.
Microsoft Push seems available but this appears to require a Microsoft based server side environment to push unless I have misinterpreted this? Or even if push notifications are a sensible way to do this.
So what I would like to know is the approach to handling pushed messages in this scenario which i hope someone out there has had experience in
Thanks
Microsoft Push Notification System [MPNS] does not require a MSFT-based server backend. It simply relays the Push Notifications through carrier or other data channels to subscribing phones. You should be able to make HTTP POST requests to MPNS at the Windows Phone subscriber Channel URI & MPNS would deliver the Push Notifications for you. Your server side can be anything, as long as you able to make the HTTP requests.
A good starting point can be found here.
Hope this helps!
