Notification wont be sent unless thread sleeps after sending it

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Fairly simple to reproduce, just replace the counter value to 1 in the
NotificationTest distributed with the source, and you will be able to see
this problem.

I tested this on a desktop computer with dsl connection to the internet.

Hey, nevermind, it was a case of closing the service before the connection was 
even
open. Sorry for the fake issue.

No worries.

I have this issue also... calling service.Close(); does not wait for any queued 
notifications to be sent. This appears to only happen on the FIRST send of the 
application.

I've had to move service.Close(); to service_NotificationSuccess, although this 
doesn't really make sense if multiple messages are being sent.

To replicate: change the loop in JdSoft.Apple.Apns.Test.Program to 
for (int i = 1; i <= 1; i++)
Comment the following line: 
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(sleepBetweenNotifications);

To me, it appears a "correct" fix can be added in 
JdSoft.Apple.Apns.Notifications.NotificationConnection on line 280.

Current code:
Thread.Sleep(250);

Fix:
while (notifications.Count > 0)
{
    Thread.Sleep(250);
}

A helpful comment on that line says
// 250 ms should be ample time for the loop to dequeue any remaining 
notifications

It appears 250ms might be marginally too small an amount, on average my system 
is taking 500 ms to dequeue the notifications, thought this loop should take 
care of it.

I've changed the code to:

int slept = 0; 
int maxSleep = 10000; //10 seconds

while (notifications.Count > 0 && slept++ <= maxSleep)
    Thread.Sleep(100);

This should be a safe way to wait until all are dequeued

Looks like a good check, though I believe maxSleep should be divided by 100 
since the thread is sleeping (if the desired max is 10000ms).

int slept = 0; 
int maxSleep = 10000; //10 seconds

while (notifications.Count > 0 && slept++ <= (maxSleep / 100))
    Thread.Sleep(100);

Ahh yes, thanks for catching that...

Thank you, it helps me too. I receive nothing when I try only one 
notification... after following your instructions it works fine!
