I need help to choose a Push Notification Service for my WPF desktop based app. I was checking on Google's Firebase, Windows Push Notification Services (WNS) etc but they all speak in context of App based environment i.e. iOS, Android or WP. Further more they have documented references for Web Apps using JavaScript.
Now i am stuck to find one which is compatible for my desktop based WPF + C# App.
Can anyone help me please?
The Windows Push Notification Services (WNS) enable third-party developers to send toast, tile, badge, and raw updates from their own cloud service. This provides a mechanism to deliver new updates to your users in a power-efficient and dependable way.
Azure Notification Hubs is a massively scalable mobile push notification engine for quickly sending millions of notifications to iOS, Android, Windows, or Kindle devices, working with APNs (Apple Push Notification service), GCM (Google Cloud Messaging), WNS (Windows Push Notification Service), and more.
It wouldn't work unless you convert your app (No matter if it's WPF/MFC/other desktop tech) to UWP/Store app.
