Mobile push notification
In one embodiment, a method includes receiving a first notification through a real-time push service. The first notification includes a subset of user-facing information of an object having one or more states, the subset being determined at a first point in time. A second notification is received through the real-time push service. The second notification is an update to the user-facing information of the object, and the update may be a subset of user-facing information determined at a second point in time after the first point in time.
1. A method comprising:
by a computing device, receiving a first notification through a real-time push service, wherein:
the first notification comprises content associated with an object, the object having one or more states;
the first notification is assigned a first priority level that matches a first assigned priority range of the computing device at a time prior to the receiving of the first notification, wherein the first assigned priority range is based on:
a first power state of the computing device; and
a first network state of the computing device;
the object comprises user-facing information; and
the content comprises a first pre-determined subset of the user-facing information, wherein the first pre-determined subset is determined at a first time; and
by the computing device, receiving a second notification through the real-time push service, wherein:
the second notification comprises an update to the content based on a state change of the object;
the second notification is assigned a second priority level that matches a second assigned priority range of the computing device at a time after the receiving of the first notification and prior to the receiving of the second notification, wherein the second assigned priority range is based on:
a second power state of the computing device; and
a second network state of the computing device;
the update comprises a second pre-determined subset of the user-facing information, wherein the second pre-determined subset is determined at a second time; and
the second time is later in time than the first time.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first or second notification is displayed on a display of the computing device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the object is hosted by a social-networking system.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the object is a user post to the social-networking system.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the user-facing information of the object comprises:
a number of likes associated with the user post; or
a number of comments associated with the user post.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the object is associated with a node in a social graph maintained by a social-networking system.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first notification comprises a message and a payload.
8. 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.
9. The method of claim 1 , wherein:
the first power state and the first network state are sent by the computing device to the real-time push service prior to the first time; and
the second power state and the second network state are sent by the computing device to the real-time push service after the first time and prior to the second time.
10. One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:
receive a first notification through a real-time push service, wherein:
the first notification comprises content associated with an object, the object having one or more states;
the first notification is assigned a first priority level that matches a first assigned priority range of the computing device at a time prior to the receiving of the first notification, wherein the first assigned priority range is based on:
a first power state of the computing device; and
a first network state of the computing device;
the object comprises user-facing information; and
the content comprises a first pre-determined subset of the user-facing information, wherein the first pre-determined subset is determined at a first time; and
receive a second notification through the real-time push service, wherein:
the second notification comprises an update to the content based on a state change of the object;
the second notification is assigned a second priority level that matches a second assigned priority range of the computing device at a time after the receiving of the first notification and prior to the receiving of the second notification, wherein the second assigned priority range is based on:
a second power state of the computing device; and
a second network state of the computing device;
the update comprises a second pre-determined subset of the user-facing information, wherein the second pre-determined subset is determined at a second time; and
the second time is later in time than the first time.
11. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein the object is hosted by a social-networking system.
12. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 11 , wherein the object is a user post to the social-networking system.
13. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 12 , wherein the user-facing information of the object comprises:
a number of likes associated with the user post; or
a number of comments associated with the user post.
14. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein the object is associated with a node in a social graph maintained by a social-networking system.
15. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein the first notification comprises a message and a payload.
16. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , 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.
17. The one or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media of claim 10 , wherein:
the first power state and the first network state are sent to the real-time push service prior to the first time; and
the second power state and the second network state are sent to the real-time push service after the first time and prior to the second time.
18. 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:
receive a first notification through a real-time push service, wherein:
the first notification comprises content associated with an object, the object having one or more states;
the first notification is assigned a first priority level that matches a first assigned priority range of the computing device at a time prior to the receiving of the first notification, wherein the first assigned priority range is based on:
a first power state of the computing device; and
a first network state of the computing device;
the object comprises user-facing information; and
the content comprises a first pre-determined subset of the user-facing information, wherein the first pre-determined subset is determined at a first time; and
receive a second notification through the real-time push service, wherein:
the second notification comprises an update to the content based on a state change of the object;
the second notification is assigned a second priority level that matches a second assigned priority range of the computing device at a time after the receiving of the first notification and prior to the receiving of the second notification, wherein the second assigned priority range is based on:
a second power state of the computing device; and
a second network state of the computing device;
the update comprises a second pre-determined subset of the user-facing information, wherein the second pre-determined subset is determined at a second time; and
