Windows Phone 7 Push Notifications Not Displaying on My Phone

UPDATE: The plot is thickening. I changed the name of my channel and it suddenly works (this means that this is not a problem with my push service, as I get the same HTTP response from the Microsoft Push Notification server).

For me, however, this is not a solution. How can I check this and KNOW that my users receive their push notifications if I get the same response when it does not work the way I do when it is?

[ORIGINAL POST]

I am trying to get push notifications sent to a Windows Phone 7 device, but I have very big problems that I cannot find answers to. I will start with C # code.

I set up push notifications using the following C # code.

private HttpNotificationChannel channel;
private static string PUSH_CHANNEL = "MySpecialPushChannel";
private Uri PushUri = null;
private bool IsPushRegistered = false;

public void StartPushSubscription()
{
    try
    {
        channel = HttpNotificationChannel.Find(PUSH_CHANNEL);
    }
    catch
    {}

    if (channel != null)
    {            
        PushUri = channel.ChannelUri;
        if (!channel.IsShellTileBound)
            channel.BindToShellTile();
    }
    else
    {
        channel = new HttpNotificationChannel(PUSH_CHANNEL);
        channel.ChannelUriUpdated += new EventHandler<NotificationChannelUriEventArgs>(channel_ChannelUriUpdated);
        channel.HttpNotificationReceived += new EventHandler<HttpNotificationEventArgs>(channel_HttpNotificationReceived);
        channel.ErrorOccurred += new EventHandler<NotificationChannelErrorEventArgs>(channel_ErrorOccurred);

        try
        {
            channel.Open();
            channel.BindToShellTile();
        }
        catch (Exception err)
        {
            channel = null;
            IsPushRegistered = false;
            // Code to try again
        }
    }
}

void channel_ChannelUriUpdated(object sender, NotificationChannelUriEventArgs e)
{
    PushUri = e.ChannelUri;
    IsPushRegistered = true;
}

I follow the standard WP7 push structure:

  • Find the HttpNotificationChannel (or start a new one)
  • , push- uri
  • Uri ( , , push-

... . , Uri, . , push Uri ( , ). HTTP 200 :

DeviceConnectionStatus = >

NotificationStatus = >

SubscriptionStatus = > Active

... . push. , , , . , , , .
