I dont get responses when sending messages using PushSharp

Question

I send push notifications using PushSharp.

I call the method StopAllServices of PushService object to let it send the messages.

I assume that after PushService.StopAllServices finishes , I got the responses for all the Notification objecs.

Afterwards I kill the thread in which the PushService object is instanciated.

PushService = New PushService()
...
...
...

PushService.StopAllServices(True)
...
'the thread dies here

I noticed that sometimes I dont get responses in the callback functions.

Can it be that the method StopAllServices doesnt wait for all responses (from APNS/GCM) ?

I need to recieve responses for all Notification objects. How to achive that ? I'll be glad for sugestions

From the Apple push Service (APNS) you won't get response for all the successfully delivered notifications and that is "by design". Redth (the author of pushSharp) posted a detailed explanation of this : http://redth.info/the-problem-with-apples-push-notification-ser/
So you'll barely never get one response-per-notification-sent anyway, not useful to wait for all answers to stop the service.

And keep in mind that delivering the notification to the provider (android/apple/microsoft) doesn't guarantee you the effective device delivery of the notification anyway...
