Push notifications to IsolatedStore
-
Hello everyone, I have asked this question few days ago on windows phone forum and so far no one took interest to answer and I hoped I get more luck here. The question is why not having push notifications to ...isolated storage. This would be a new type of push notification similar to tile push notification but instead of updating a tile, it would write a short text to IsolatedStorageSettings.ApplicationSettings[] the purpose it would serve is keeping the application informed on whatever happen while it was stopped. If you look at all apps that use push notifications to tiles, it is easy to see that while the tiles show some updated information (eg. current weather), the application knows nothing about it and when it starts it shows data loaded days back from a previous run. It is true that (when internet connection is available) the application can refresh its data and the tiles but that takes some time (3-10 seconds in real scenarios), time in which the user is presented with outdated information he doesn't want to see. I believe that this feature would bring some power and smoothness to WP with zero impediments. Help me with any thoughts for why this feature would be great, or bad, or irrelevant.... Thanks
