title: Sending a notification from OS X to iOS
body: <p>I have a Mac application and an iOS application. I need to display a notification on iOS, coming from the Mac app.</p>
  <p>Is there any easier way to do it than using Push Notifications or network sockets (UDP or TCP)? Maybe Apple provides it away?</p>
  <p>I need to make sure that the user hears this notification. The application should launch in the background and start playing sound.</p>
