Hello all,

Here i come with the best way to send the push notifications to iOS devices using Amazon Simple Notification Services in C# .Net

So here is the snippet that can push the notification very easily..

string[] strTokens = txtTokens.Text.Split(','); // Get all tokens to send the code
Parallel.ForEach(strTokens , sToken =>
                {
                    HttpContext ctx = HttpContext.Current;
                    new System.Threading.Thread(() =>
                    {
                        HttpContext.Current = ctx;
                        SendNotificationAsync(sToken , "Your Notification Message" , 0 , "default");
                    }).Start();
                });


 public void SendNotificationAsync(string sToken , string sMessage , int iBadge , string sSound)
        {
            try
            {
                string Platform = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["Platform"];// Application Platform
                string ApplicationName = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["ApplicationName"];//Application Name configured on SNS
                string PlatformApplicationArn = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PlatformApplicationArn"];

                AmazonSimpleNotificationServiceClient objsnsClient = new AmazonSimpleNotificationServiceClient("AWSAccessKey" , "AWSSecretKey" , "Region");
                var objResponse = objsnsClient.CreatePlatformEndpointExtended(new CreatePlatformEndpointRequest
                {
                    Token = sToken ,
                    PlatformApplicationArn =
                    PlatformApplicationArn
                });


                Dictionary<string , string> CustomParams = new Dictionary<string , string>();
                CustomParams.Add("default" , sMessage);
                CustomParams.Add("" + Platform + "" , "{\"aps\":{\"alert\": \"" + sMessage + "\",\"sound\" :\"" + sSound + "\"},\"ShortUserID\":\"123456\",\"NotificationType\":\"10\"}");
                objsnsClient.Publish(new PublishRequest
                {
                    Message = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(CustomParams) ,
                    MessageStructure = "json" ,
                    TargetArn = objResponse.EndpointArn
                });
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
            }
        }
