PubNub's Mobile Push Gateway feature enables developers to bridge native PubNub publishing with 3rd-party push notification services including Google Android GCM (Google Cloud Messaging)/FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging), Apple iOS APNs (Apple Push Notification service), and Microsoft Windows Phone MPNS (Microsoft Push Notification Service).

By using the Mobile Push Gateway, developers can eliminate the need for developing, configuring, and maintaining additional server-side components for third-party push notification providers.
