var push = Windows.Networking.PushNotifications;
var promise = push.PushNotificationChannelManager
.createPushNotificationChannelForApplicationAsync();
promise.then(function (ch) {
var uri = ch.uri;
var expiry = ch.expirationTime;
updateChannelUri(uri, expiry);
});
2. Register with Your Cloud Service Register your app with
your own Cloud ServiceShould be authenticated and secure
Store Channel URI and associate it with any app specific context
Create your business logic for sending notifications
Windows 8

(2)
function updateChannelUri(channel, channelExpiration) {
if (channel) {
var serverUrl = "https://mysampleapp.cloudapp.net/register";
var payload = { Expiry: channelExpiration.toString(),
URI: channel };
var xhr = new WinJS.xhr({
type: "POST",
url: serverUrl,
headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json; charset=utf-8" },
data: JSON.stringify(payload)
}).then(function (req) { … });
}
}
3. Authenticate & Send Notification

POST https://login.live.com/accesstoken.srf HTTP/1.1Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencodedHost: login.live.comContent-Length: 221
grant_type=client_credentials&client_id=ms-app%3A%2F%2FS-1-15-2-1633617344-1232597856-4562071667-7893084900-2692585271-282905334-531217761&client_secret=XEvTg3USjIpvdWLBFcv44sJHRKcid43QXWfNx3YiJ4g&scope=notify.windows.com

"access_token":"EgAcAQMAAAAg/RBw++jdA1MzM0LTUzMTIxNzc2MQA=", "token_type":"bearer“
}
3. Push Notification HTTP Request
POST https://db3.notify.windows.com/?token=AQI8iP%2OtQE%3d HTTP/1.1Content-Type: text/xmlHost: db3.notify.windows.comX-WNS-Type: wns/badgeAuthorization: Bearer EgAcAQMAAAAg/RBw++jdA1MzM0LTUzMTIxNzc2MQA=Content-Length: 58
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><badge value="34"/>
3. Push Notification HTTP Response
HTTP/1.1 200 OKContent-Length: 0X-WNS-NOTIFICATIONSTATUS: receivedX-WNS-MSG-ID: 1ACD59E4683FE4BFX-WNS-DEBUG-TRACE: DB3WNS4011434
Important NotesDevice can be offline or disconnected. Success indicates that the request was successfully received by WNS; not necessarily that the user saw it.Additional headers in the response for notification and device status.

3. Authentication Code
using Windows.Recipes.Push.Notifications.Security;…// Constructor takes your Package SID and secret keyIAccessTokenProvider _tokenProvider = new WNSAccessTokenProvider(
"ms-app%3A%2F%2FS-1-15-2-1633617344-1232597856-4562071667-7893084900-2692585271-282905334-531217761",
"XEvTg3USjIpvdWLBFcv44sJHRKcid43QXWfNx3YiJ4g");
3. Push Notification Code
using Windows.Recipes.Push.Notifications;
…
var toast = new ToastNotification(_tokenProvider);toast.ChannelUrl = "https://db3.notify.windows.com/?token=AQI8iP%2OtQE%3d";
toast.ToastType = ToastType.ToastImageAndText02;
toast.Image = "https://demosa.blob.core.windows.net/toastImg1.png";
toast.Text = new List<string> {"Miguel Saenz comment on your status", "I love that quote! How have you …"};
