Well, this is the first step. I think adding a notification etc won't be that difficult but we may need to pass some info as between the app and the forum. Currently, I don't do that for two main reaons. One, I am not well verse in java and its scripting / coding. Two, I am not so sure about security side of it, yet.
For your info, I implemented Sub Forums Addon on my community site. So, I can have several (subforum) sites using one app or one app for each subforum site (several apps that are).
Implementation of this is by loading specific url in each app denying others. Other url will then be forced to be opened in the browsers instead from within the app.
I will share the code for this app later.

Nice code. That should be added inside Elk right? Ok. Consider that is added to Elk, we still need to get the THE_DEVICE_REGISTRATION_ID. Which means we need to register the device via the app, intercept the id via the app as well but the app should send the id back to server. How do we do that?

I am thinking to set if email is sent, trigger the notification via GCM. Will email be sent for all types of notification if the user doesn't opt not to be informed via email? I was thinking, if email is always sent when it is not turned off and there is any phone id registered, may be, the similar option for admin to enable sending notification to users via GCM.

Except for mentions and likes, yes, all notifications are sent via email, so sendmail should be a good point to look.

Ok. I will check on that first. Hopefully, I'll see some light at the end of this tunnel.

I install this app and never saw a difference with the browser. What is an idea? I thought it was going to be like Tapatalk.

As discussed above your post, this is a simple app. We did not implement notification system as yet. And even that is implemented, an addon need to be made so notification will work and pass to the app.
