Simple GCM-free poll-based notifications #2267

Describe the feature you'd like

Currently Rocket.Chat lacks any notification capabilities on GMS-free devices. While creating a robust and battery-efficient notification system is a lot of work, the first step to bridge the gap could be what Riot does.

Precisely, the app could just do simple HTTP poll in user-defined intervals. This allows the user to somehow balance the trade-off between battery consumption and notification delay and shouldn't require a lot of work on the application side.

For example, for my use case, 2 hour notification delay would be acceptable and polling every 2 hours should not affect the battery life too much.

To make this easier to find: This is an alternative to push notifications.

All development has ceased on this repo. Please look at the React Native client.
