Gateway implementation for Push Notification with SMP

Question

Hello there,
We have a requirement for mobile application we are developing. We are using SAP NetWeaver gateway services to push the data to mobile devices (Android). We are using SMP to achieve the push notification.
We have configured SMP to receive the registration from android devices. In the back end system, we can see the subscribed devices in the table /IWBEP/D_MGW_SUB. Currently, we are using REST client to send the notification to individual device (Using <APPCID>). However, we need to send the notification directly from gate way service (ABAP side) to all registered devices on occurrence of some event (Database change). Can you please help on how to send notification from gate way service (ABAP) to SMP, and in turn to the device? And refer some documents regarding the same if any?
Thank you very much in advance!
Vijay

For push notification, you have to use security profile as "Notification" and have to add required role as "Notification User". You can also add other authentication providers as you mentioned for MYSAPSSO2.
Settings>Security profiles>Notification(Cannot be deleted)
For APNs traffic to get past your firewall, you'll need to open these ports:
TCP port 5223 (used by devices to communicate to the APNs servers)
TCP port 2195 (used to send notifications to the APNs)
TCP port 2196 (used by the APNs feedback service)
TCP Port 443 (used as a fallback on Wi-fi only, when devices are unable to communicate to APNs on port 5223)
Send Push Notifications to the Device
