Windows Azure Mobile Services provides an easy to use API for sending notifications to your Windows Store, Windows Phone 8 and iOS apps. In this video Nick Harris demonstrates step by step how you can add Push Notifications to send Tiles, Toast and Badge updates to your app. The demo includes:

Provisioning a Mobile Service
Registering your App with the Windows Store
Configuring your Windows Store app for Wide Tile and Toast notifications
Configuring your Mobile Service with Windows Push Notification Service (WNS) credentials
Requesting a Channel using the PushNotificationChannelManager API
Storing that Channel in your Mobile Service
Sending Toast, Tile and Badge Notifications as Inserts occur on your Mobile Service

Get started with 10 Mobile Services for FREE and try this scenario using the step-by-step tutorials - tutorial part 1, tutorial part 2 or samples - tile, toast, badge and raw
