can someone help me to start with push notification in WP7 development??
I used this labs
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/wp7trainingcourse_usingpushnotificationslab.aspx
to learn about push notifications but stil can't get them to work in my app:/
Jeff Blankenburg (BlankenBlog) had a nice tutorial post that does a good job of showing the different parts that go into a Push notification.Day 19: Push Notifications
Push notifications are a bit tricky at the moment. Do you have any specific problems regarding the training course? Please describe what parts you're not getting to work properly and perhaps we can help out.
Some general info on push notifications:
In order to get push notifications to work you need three key ingredients:
A device (a phone)
Microsoft Push Network
A backend application (e.g. cloud service)
The last player is what most people aren't expecting. It would be nice to work without it but at the moment it's a necessary party.
I suggest you to read an excellent series of posts about push notifications from Yochay. You can find the first part of three here:

This picture describe the flow and key players in a good way:

You can get started with push notifications refering to this doco. It includes the overview, the code samples for creating a channel (which you send to your web service) and a sample of how to implement generating the push notification from your server including the response codes.
Push Notifications for Windows Phone
How to: Set Up a Notification Channel for Windows Phone
How to: Send a Push Notification from a Web Service for Windows Phone
Note that it's been reported that the tool with the training kit to simulate generating notices from your server has been reported to not be up to date with changes that took place in the interface during Beta.
As a result, it will not work with the current Push Notification Service.
The 3rd link above that shows how to generate this is up to date.
OK, so this is basically a shameless plug, but I've created an open source framework that helps in getting you started with Toast and Live Tiles. It is available via the nuget package manager and the source code is on github. You can read a bit more about it here:

You should see this article that written by Sgt. Conker.
http://www.sgtconker.com/2010/03/article-windows-phone-7-push-notifications/ It contains very usefull tips and tricks. And has realy good descriptions as well as source code.
You can be able to start to test example app in simulator.
Good luck
Edit : The link was working when i created this answer.
Please have see updated Microsoft MSDN link

I would like to use Google Analytics in my Xamarin project, but I always find articles showing how to use it with Firebase. Is that the only possibility? Can I use just Goggle Analytics without Firebase, as I use for example in my Angular project?
While the link to the repo google-analytics-dotnet-sdk created by me supplied by another another answer to this question.
Will work if you are using Universal analytics. It will not send hits to GA4. I have been working on a version for Ga4 but set aside while i wait for the Measurement protocol for Ga4 to be completed.
Currently the measurement protocol for GA4 does not allow for recreating hits similar to what is sent by the standard google analytics sdks for web and mobile.
Which means that you cant exactly recreate the same events.
Measurement Protocol (Google Analytics 4) I guess what I am saying is that if your goal is to recreate similar hits as firebase sends then your not going to be able to. We need to wait for them to open up for more of the Measurement protocol.
This is the current status of it.
GoogleAnalytics.Ga4-Dotnet.Sdk - Beta
We've just published our first app in Google Workspace Marketplace (a google docs add-on) and can't figure out how, or if, it is possible to setup an email or other notification (slack notification would be cool) for our Customer Success team to be notified when a user leaves a review of the app.
Appreciate that if we get thousands we will probably turn the notifications off (or filter them in some way), at this early stage though, we're very eager to act on any feedback.
Thanks!

You can try Obsei: an open-source low-code AI powered automation tool.
It can monitor App and Play stores for customer reviews and send notification Slack when someone add review there. Also Obsei can classify review contextually to classify it into issue categories. Refer below image.Obsei workflow
All of these can be achieved free without any cloud hosting requirement. Refer link for more detail.
Happy to answer any queries in this regards.
I'm trying to track an AppOpened event via Parse.com's Rest API, specifically related to the consumption of a push notification via a POST to https://api.parse.com/1/events/AppOpened
Since there's really no documentation on doing this, I was hoping adding a "push_hash" key inside the data sent to Parse would be enough, but I guess I'm just not that lucky.
Does anyone know what the required data for tracking push consumption via an AppOpened event is? I couldn't find anything online and was really hoping someone here could help (especially considering every support page they have points here).
Thanks~
You are right, there poor documentation but from other hands some people already meet this issue. And you can check their code for your situation:
Setting up a App Opened event
App-Open Analytic
Track App Opens with JavaScript
Try to use anything from this (use app & REST keys) and describe your result more detailed.
I have been developing in Windows Phone 8 for a couple of months. Currently, I am developing an app that consume some XML to show data. I know how the Toast notification works in WP8, however my doubt is about the following:
In the App I am working on, I would like to implement a kind of Toast Notification when a new data is available (from the source where the XML is extracted). So, is it possible? If so, how to implement it in WP8?
I don't know if you are familiar with the App of dictionary.com. In that App, there is an option to enable the notification for the word of the day. So, every day I recieve a different word in english. When I click in the notification I can see it's meaning.
Any clue, link, post, code or suggestion would be very appreciate
Thanks in advance
Regards!
There can be many ways. My idea will be to use Azure Mobile Services. To explain, let me take same fictitious Dictionary.com example. The WP app will be bound to Azure Mobile Service and it will show all the words fetched from that service. Whenever, I add a new word to this service, using Push Notifications, it will send notification to all my users who've installed Dictionary.com app, stating new word is added.

I am trying to implement Google Checkout in my website.
I have the PHP code sample named "checkout-php-1.3.2" from http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-php-sample-code/.
I have followed the instructions and am able to send contents to Google Cart successfully.
The problem is i do not know how to update my website's database after the payment has been made.
I looked a little in the demo code and there is a page responsehandlerdemo.php and there i can see a lot of notification cases namely
merchant-calculation-callback
new-order-notification
order-state-change-notification
charge-amount-notification
If anybody can provide any help regarding which callback to use and how to parse the xml.
It will be very helpful.

Sourav Mukherjee
With the exception of merchant-calculation-callback (ref), all the other notifications mean something to your order processing (everything that has to do after successful checkout).
E.g.
new-order-notification - is what it says it is, data representing a new order
order-state-change - orders move into different states (status), so this notification notifies you of them
You should go over the Developer docs particularly the Notification API for details.
I'm not a PHP developer (.Net) but I've seen the sample code and it already includes XML parsing for the notifications you receive. Once you get to know the API, you'll know when/where in the flow you need to add your business code (i.e. database storage, etc.).
