title: Do hybrid mobile apps support Push Notifications?
body: <p>Are mobile development frameworks capable of working well with Push Notifications?</p>
  
  <p>Details follow:</p>
  
  <p>I'm researching cross-platform mobile app development.  It seems hybrid apps developed using a mobile development framework like PhoneGap, Titanium, etc provide access to core phone features (camera, accelerometer, address book, etc) while developing using web technologies (HTML5, JavaScript, CSS).</p>
  
  <p>One definite requirement we have is using Push Notifications to send messages to devices that have the app installed, even when the app is closed.  I understand that each platform supports this differently (Apple Push Notifications vs C2DM, etc).  </p>
  
  <p>I'm assuming HTML5 notifications wouldn't fit the requirement since (i'm assuming) HTML5 notifications (Web Sockets, SSE) require the app to be running.</p>
