PHP - Real time notification system- supporting all browsers and devices

Question

i'm actually using Codeigniter framework.

I was planning to make a simple real time notification system for website users.

The fact is i can see websockets etc .. all new awesome stuffs are not really supported all over the browsers and devices, for example Android mobile is really cutted off.

So , what i'm wondering now, which is the best way to go, best envoirment to plan for making real time notifications using PHP and Mysql (I can only use Mysql db no others)?

at the end which techonologies/frameworks/languages to involve to achieve this?
