I believe it might be possible to have notifications working, I don't know if using GCM (Google Cloud Messaging).
What I understood is that I would need the server to send something to GCM and it would return it to the app, I don't know if there is a more direct way (without GCM) -

@AOKP very nice! I'd like to get on the bandwagon here.
I tried building a webview app for NodeBB as well but it got declined when I tried to publish to Google Play. They considered it a SPAM app with intent to solicit clicks to sites not belonging to me.
I feel there's a lot of potential with building an app that is more than just a webview as I've started mine to include a bottom bar navigation as well. The buttons interact with NodeBB via javascript.
Here's a screenshot:

Time to answer some questions.
@soupain I will disclose the full source code. Therefore it will be possible for you to build your own app with ease.
@Chanrith nice approach, however I am too lazy to do the same. I would greatly appreciate it, if you feel like sharing your code with us. And about your issue with the submission to Google Play: Get in touch with Google and offer them to add a TXT DNS record or any other documents proving your domain ownership. Usually this should be more than enough for them.
Currently I am in a stressful time as my final exams are to be written soon. However, I think I should be able to dedicate enough time.
@julian want to re-add the app to your plans?

Bumping this, today I found time to make a couple of changes to the app.
Updated all the dependencies and libraries. Additionally I successfully integrated OneSignal. Down below you can see an example how it looks like:
The updated code will go online in a couple of minutes.
The docs explain how to compile the app on your own, if you are still too lazy you can acquire a compiled version for your needs for a small fee.Please continue discussion here:
