Answer 1

Actually it is pretty simple as i thought to create a pubnub notification. We have to simply run background service and in that do the following steps.,

• Add background service using this BOOT_COMPLETED Titanium module ,
• Before suscribe a new channel inside the background service code. (for eg.: MY_notify_channel),

• Next go to your chat screen , Next to the line that you are publishing to your private dynamic channel, Publish once again to our MY_notify_channel .

• That's it when ever you publishing you get a message received in your service box, you have segregate your message in that and then create a notification manually. Titanium.Android.Notification link

Answer 2

When using PubNub in an Android app (Phonegap or Native), you do not need to use GCM because you can implement a subscribe at boot service that forwards incoming messages to the background app using Intents. See this example for more details: https://help.pubnub.com/entries/21720011­Can­my­Android­App­Receive­Messages­While­Inactive

That KB article has a link (hard to see in the article) that will lead you to the Subcrib-at-Boot example in the PubNub Andriod github repo here: https://github.com/pubnub/java/tree/master/android/examples/SubscribeAtBoot­

Android with Phonegap You need to implement a Phonegap JavaScript/Java bridge which has a bit of work that can be implemented by following our Android Subscribe­-at ­Boot (above) service solution and piece it together. http://www.tipsfromsiliconvalley.com/2013/07/06/create­a­service­on­android­with­phonegap­ap plication/
