I was wondering if it's possible to create a generic push notification solution for mobile devices (or at least Android and iPhone) with Appcelerator. I found some examples on how to implement iPhone Push with Appcelerator but nothing generic.
Any ideas? Or are there maybe other cross-plattform development sdk to solve this?
As far as I know, you can use the push notification service with iOS only.
See the documentation here.
Then, for the iOS, the simpliest way to send/receive notifications, is to subscribe for free for the UrbanAirship service.
You can find a nice tutorial here.
I only know of push notifications working in IOS (for iPhone) too. However, I understand that Cocoafish are soon working on push notification for Android. Backends like this and UA are about as generic as you can get.
Using Appcelerator Cloud Service(ACS) you can implement the Push Notification.
It is the simplest and reliable one. Follow below tutorial for ACS Push Notification implementation on Android and iOS

I am developing apps for both Android and iPhone, and am looking for how I can push notifications to both (if you only have an answer for one, that's ok, I'm sure someone has an answer for the other).
For example, if I'm having a special on something and want to notify people so it sort of dings and a message pops up (I have a Groupon app that does that) how can I accomplish this? And do I have to reprogram each time, or can I do it through an RSS or something else?
For Android 2.2+ use C2DM. Apple also has a proprietary push notification service. In both cases you need to register with the company to use the system. Also in both cases you will need a web server able to communicate to Google and Apple.
If you don't want to have to support an entire server framework for communicating with both iOS and Android devices, take a look at UrbanAirship. It's a dirt-cheap service that allows you to push both plain- and rich- text messages to iOS, Android, and BlackBerry.
Gravy: It also has mechanisms for In-App Purchasing, and statistics tracking.
Maybe PushOver can be a solution https://pushover.net/ but there is probably other web services like that !

I need to create a push notification webservice for Android & iPhone, but I actually own an Iphone only, I'd like to be able to test on my machine the push notification.
I don't know anything to mobile device or development.
In order to push messages to Android using the Google Cloud to Device messaging (C2DM) requires an application on the device which has registered to the C2DM servers to receive push notifications. AFAIK, you cannot do a generic push (using C2DM) which will be received by all applications.
For more info on C2DM you can look at the documentation here and a good article can be found here.
You could download the Android SDK. It gives you the basic stuff you need to get up and running.
If you want a virtual machine, you can set one up using this guide. I set this up and it was pretty painless. I don't know how current it is, but it will at least get you something to work with.
I need basic idea about how to implement push notification using phonegap framework.
Yes we can:
The latest version of that beta offered developers a very exciting new feature just this morning - push notification of new messages. That means apps will be able to send SMS style messages when something important occurs
Taken from this website:
http://www.dotnetexpertsforum.com/introduction-to-phonegap-framework-t1686.html
To have complete documentation for PhoneGap, go to http://wiki.phonegap.com
And also, we have several tools with PhoneGap, which are:-
(a) PhoneGap simulator(cross-platform)
(b) XUI :- JavaScript framework for mobile device browsers
(c) Lawnchair:- It is a clent-side JSON store
(d) Easy APNS :- Push notifications using Php & MySQL
(e) Sony WebSDK:- To make mobile applications to work on multiple devices
(f) Urban Airship :-It offers services like: Push notifications, Air Mail, In-App purchase.
So as you can see PhoneGap does offer this solution. Just visit the documentation and it will help you.

In my native iPhone Application, I have a requirement to add a reminder to the user's iPhone Device.
Is it possible to implement this feature using current iPhone SDK ?
Or else is there any other way to implement this feature ?
Thanks in advance...
You need to use Push notifications. The steps involved in doing this are too lengthy and involved to list in this answer. Familiarize yourself with Apple's documentation. You will need a Push notification server or pay a service to handle the Push Notification server for you (such as iLime)
