Push Notification in Blackberry

The BlackBerry Push Service is an essential component of the real-time, always-on experience of BlackBerry smartphones. It offers an efficient and reliable way of sending information to your users. It also lets your application process information in the background and notify users when their attention is required.

Refer this - developer.blackberry.com
First register for push Credentials.  (See the above link).
Use Alternate Entry Point Application. The Background app will listen for the push notifications. The UI Application is used to register the device for getting the push notification. You need to activate the BIS(Blackberry Internet Service) on your device.

Client app will be given upon requests (rincethomas33@gmail.com)

Client side code -

// Main Class-
class App extends UiApplication {
 private static App theApp;
  public App() {
       pushScreen(new register());    
    }

  public static void main(String[] args) {
          if (args.length > 0 && args[0].equals("push_msg") ){
             theApp = new App();
             theApp.enterEventDispatcher();   
       
            }
        else {      
            BackgroundApplication backApp=new BackgroundApplication();
            backApp.setupBackgroundApplication();
            backApp.enterEventDispatcher();
          
       }       
    }  
}

//Register Class-
public class register extends MainScreen{
    public register(){
    final ButtonField btn=new ButtonField("Register");
        add(btn);
