Service Bus Notification Hubs

This feature will enable developers to send push notifications from their node.js applications simultaneously to hundreds of thousands or mobile clients across IOS and Windows 8. Each message has a tag associated with it. When clients subscribe, they can choose which tags are of interest. As messages are published, Notification Hubs will ensure messages go only to those clients who subscribed to that.

Design

Below is a quick snippet for how to use the new api.

var azure = require('azure');

var credentials = {
  wnsCredential:{
    packageSid: "...",
    clientSecret: "..."
  },
  apnsCredential:{
    keyData: "...",
    certData: "..."
  }
}

var nh = azure.createNotificationHub('myhub', credentials)
nh.wns.send("foo", payload);
nh.apns.send("foo", payload);
