  • Publication number: 20160173631
    Abstract: In one embodiment, one or more computer systems of a social-networking system access a notification to be delivered to an identified user. The one or more computer systems of a social-networking system access registration data maintained by the notification-providing system and associated with the user. The one or more computer systems of a social-networking system identifies, based on the registration data, an endpoint associated with the user to which the notification will be delivered, wherein the endpoint includes a particular application installed on a client system associated with the user. The one or more computer systems of a social-networking system causes the notification to be sent to the identified endpoint.
