Notifications

[paulyoung]

There's a mention of notification channels in the current docs but it doesn't go into any detail.

Only mention I found is http://developer.thegrid.io/api.html#client-application-notifications-testing, is there any other?

We need to cover:

• Description of how notifications are used, supported systems
• How to register/unregister for notifications
• Payload format of notifications (think we have a schema already)

Anything else? Any objection to letting it live on its own page?

[paulyoung]

Some services require TLS certificates or or offer incentives for using one, like remove rate limits.

I'm not sure how that factors in here.

Info on how to use notifications in a third party iOS and Android app could be a good start.

[jonnor]

You mean TLS on the notifications themselves? We don't have any support for that besides what the notification systems provide (GCM, AMS)

I just know that when developing first-party apps I've had to deal with this process:
