Abstract

A method and apparatus are disclosed of providing a user application with a notification message. One example method may include receiving a script to setup a message queue, the script may include a database schema and the script may be executed by a processor to apply the database schema to a database that includes the message queue. The method may also include receiving one or more notifications messages having specific notification content that is applied to notification messages. The notifications may be received from a remote device. The message queue may include notification content used to generate notification messages destined for end user devices.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

receiving a script to setup at least one message queue, the script comprising a database schema;

executing the script via a processor and applying the database schema to a database including the at least one message queue;

receiving at least one notification content from a remote device; and

updating the at least one message queue to include the notification content as a notification message destined for at least one end user device.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

triggering a notification message script responsive to receiving the at least one notification content; and

transmitting the notification message script to a synchronization service application.

3. The method of claim 2, further comprising:

transmitting the notification message to the at least one end user device to be displayed on a notification bar user interface application.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

updating at least one table created by the database schema in the database responsive to receiving the at least one notification.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

identifying at least one registered listener profile stored in the database, the at least one registered listener configured to receive the at least one notification message.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an update message from the at least one end user device; and

updating the database schema based on the at least one update message received.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one notification message is an extensible markup language (XML) message.

8. An apparatus comprising:

a receiver configured to receive a script to setup at least one message queue, the script comprising a database schema; and

a processor configured to execute the script and apply the database schema to a database including the at least one message queue;

wherein the receiver is also configured to receive at least one notification content from a remote device, and the processor is configured to update the at least one message queue to include the notification content as a notification message destined for at least one end user device.

9. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to trigger a notification message script responsive to receiving the at least one notification content, and wherein the transmitter is further configured to transmit the notification message script to a synchronization service application.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, further comprising:

a transmitter configured to transmit the notification message to the at least one end user device to be displayed on a notification bar user interface application.

11. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to update at least one table created by the database schema in the database responsive to receiving the at least one notification.

12. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the processor is further configured to identify at least one registered listener profile stored in the database, the at least one registered listener configured to receive the at least one notification message.

13. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the receiver is further configured to receive an update message from the at least one end user device, and the processor is further configured to update the database schema based on the at least one update message received.

14. The apparatus of claim 8, wherein the at least one notification message is an extensible markup language (XML) message.

15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store instructions that when executed cause a processor to perform:

receiving a script to setup at least one message queue, the script comprising a database schema;

executing the script via a processor and applying the database schema to a database including the at least one message queue;

receiving at least one notification content from a remote device; and

updating the at least one message queue to include the notification content as a notification message destined for at least one end user device.

16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

triggering a notification message script responsive to receiving the at least one notification content; and

transmitting the notification message script to a synchronization service application.

17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 16, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

transmitting the notification message to the at least one end user device to be displayed on a notification bar user interface application.

18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

updating at least one table created by the database schema in the database responsive to receiving the at least one notification.

19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

identifying at least one registered listener profile stored in the database, the at least one registered listener configured to receive the at least one notification message.

20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the processor is further configured to perform:

receiving an update message from the at least one end user device; and

updating the database schema based on the at least one update message received, and wherein the at least one notification message is an extensible markup language (XML) message.
