The easy way to send notifications from our website to mobile devices. On the mobile device must be installed an application capable of managing incoming notifications.
This module provide a "Mobile Notifications" node type and a view called "Mobile Notifications". When you add a new Mobile Notification post, the module send a push notification to registered devices. You can choose the roles that receive this notification. You can, also, send a link to a site node.
