This handy driver allows you to send push notifications to iOS and Android devices without the need for any long term subscriptions.
This driver relies on 3rd party apps Prowl for iOS and NMA for Android to operate. Both apps will cost a little per device so keep this in mind if you are planning on implementing this solution.
Note: NMA (Notify My Android) ceased operations earlier in 2018 citing GDPR. Because of this PushNotify only supports iOS with Prowl at this time.
