Screencast: Push-Enabling your Android App with Deacon

Want to try out the Deacon Alpha release? Here's how - a simple video introduction to "Deaconizing" your app and receiving push notifications.

Assuming that you actually want to see what's happening, and not just hear me yap about it, I'd recommend using the full-screen button!

    Very cool Dave. You should try moving Deacon into a service, which is probably the most common way of receiving push notifications.

    Anton – Thanks for the kudos! This app just uses an Activity for demonstration purposes, I imagine the most common usage for Deacon will be in services as you’ve suggested. The library is set up so that it’s not context-dependent, and can be used either way.
