Is there any way to configure Push notification for Custom Mobile App without using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) services?
As per PDN (https://pdn.pega.com/sites/pdn.pega.com/files/help_v722/procomhelpmain.htm#mobile/concepts/mob-certificate-set-android-con.htm) we have to use Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) services for Push Notification in Custom Mobile App. For this we have to create an account in Google Developer Console. Is there any way to use other Messaging service for push notification?

Can you elaborate? GCM is the Google-provided platform for pushing notifications to Android applications through the OS. Similarly APNS is Apple's. What messaging service are you trying to use?

Hi James,
Thanks for your reply.
I just wanted to know, is there any other messaging service except GCM for android which is free? As per my knowledge GCM is not free service.
And another thing. I got another messaging service, Firebase messaging service (though it is provided by Google). I created an account in FireBase Cloud Messaging and got the API Server Key and Sender Id which is required from Pega End for push notification and used the same. But it did not work.
