Mobile push notification
In one embodiment, a method includes sending to a mobile client computing device a first notification through a real-time push service, the first notification including content and being associated with a stateful object; the method also includes, in response to a state change of the stateful object, sending to the mobile client computing device a second notification through the real-time push service, the second notification including an update to the content based on the state change of the stateful object.
1. A method comprising:
by one or more computing devices, sending to a mobile client computing device a first notification through a real-time push service, the first notification comprising content and being associated with a stateful object, wherein:
the stateful object comprises user-facing information;
the content of the first notification comprises a pre-determined subset of the user-facing information associated with the stateful object at a first time when the first notification is sent; and
the sending is determined by:
a priority level of the first notification;
a first power state of the mobile client computing device; and
a first network state of the mobile client computing device; and
by one or more computing devices, in response to a state change of the stateful object, sending to the mobile client computing device a second notification through the real-time push service, the second notification comprising an update to the content based on the state change of the stateful object, wherein:
the update to the content comprises a pre-determined subset of the user-facing information associated with the stateful object at a second time when the second notification is sent, wherein the second time is later in time than the first time; and
the sending is determined by:
a priority level of the second notification;
a second power state of the mobile client computing device; and
a second network state of the mobile client computing device.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first or second notification is configured for display by the mobile client computing device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stateful object is hosted by a social-networking system.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the stateful object is a user post to the social-networking system.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the stateful object is associated with a node in a social graph maintained by a social-networking system.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first notification comprises a message and a payload.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the real-time push service comprises a channel server, a MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) server, and a push service hosted by a carrier network.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the stateful object comprises user-facing information;
the content in the first notification comprises all the user-facing information associated with the stateful object when the first notification is sent; and
the update in the second notification comprises all the user-facing information associated with the stateful object when the second notification is sent that was not in the first notification.
9. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
send to a mobile client computing device a first notification through a real-time push service, the first notification comprising content and being associated with a stateful object, wherein:
the stateful object comprises user-facing information;
the content of the first notification comprises a pre-determined subset of the user-facing information associated with the stateful object at a first time when the first notification is sent; and
the sending is determined by:
a priority level of the first notification;
a first power state of the mobile client computing device; and
a first network state of the mobile client computing device; and
in response to a state change of the stateful object, send to the mobile client computing device a second notification through the real-time push service, the second notification comprising an update to the content based on the state change of the stateful object, wherein:
the update to the content comprises a pre-determined subset of the user-facing information associated with the stateful object at a second time when the second notification is sent, wherein the second time is later in time than the first time; and
the sending is determined by:
a priority level of the second notification;
a second power state of the mobile client computing device; and
a second network state of the mobile client computing device.
10. The media of claim 9 , wherein the first or second notification is configured for display by the mobile client computing device.
11. The media of claim 9 , wherein the first notification comprises a message and a payload.
12. The media of claim 9 , wherein the real-time push service comprises a channel server, a MQ Telemetry Transport (MQTT) server, and a push service hosted by a carrier network.
13. The media of claim 9 , wherein:
the stateful object comprises user-facing information;
the content in the first notification comprises all the user-facing information associated with the stateful object when the first notification is sent; and
the update in the second notification comprises all the user-facing information associated with the stateful object when the second notification is sent that was not in the first notification.
14. A system comprising:
one or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:
send to a mobile client computing device a first notification through a real-time push service, the first notification comprising content and being associated with a stateful object, wherein:
the stateful object comprises user-facing information;
the content of the first notification comprises a pre-determined subset of the user-facing information associated with the stateful object at a first time when the first notification is sent; and
the sending is determined by:
a priority level of the first notification;
a first power state of the mobile client computing device; and
a first network state of the mobile client computing device; and
in response to a state change of the stateful object, send to the mobile client computing device a second notification through the real-time push service, the second notification comprising an update to the content based on the state change of the stateful object, wherein:
the update to the content comprises a pre-determined subset of the user-facing information associated with the stateful object at a second time when the second notification is sent, wherein the second time is later in time than the first time; and
the sending is determined by:
a priority level of the second notification;
a second power state of the mobile client computing device; and
a second network state of the mobile client computing device.
15. The system of claim 14 , wherein the first or second notification is configured for display by the mobile client computing device.
