We've created a KB article that describes how to integrate push notifications into your XAF mobile application:
https://www.devexpress.com/go/XAF_Try_Mobile_PushNotifications_17.1_July.aspx
To help implement our solution, we used both the phonegap-plugin-push and Azure Notification Hub tool. We've opted for the latter because it is an easy-to-use, multi-platform, scaled-out push engine that allows you to make a single cross-platform API call to send targeted and personalized push notifications to any mobile platform (Android/iOS/Windows) from any cloud or on-premises backend. Of course, you can use the native APIs offered by Google/Apple/Microsoft or any other third-party notification services instead.
