That still wouldn’t solve the problems of many open source devs.

I, for example, develop an app connecting to servers that the users self-host.

I can’t modify the server, nor can I easily get it to send notifications.

But I want to be able to show notifications.

Luckily I can open a port to it and wait for them.

It’s impossible to solve with GCM.

XMPP supports that, so it should be possible to provide an optional extension to your protocol to do likewise.
