Only Android Bitcoin ticker app with Push-notifications! Sleep well at night, knowing you'll be notified immediately when the rally begins :)
***** Finally updated, thank you for your patience guys :) Remember, if it says "WAITING FOR C2DM" wait a couple of minutes, and reload the app (Menu -> Reload). Cheers *****
BTC Push Monitor alerts you whenever the Bitcoin index reaches a value of your choosing. Index values are currently taken fra MtGox. The application uses Android's push technology called Cloud 2 Device Messaging (C2DM), by Google. While other Bitcoin ticker apps exist, they currently all rely on polling, which can be a drain on your battery.
By entering a High and a Low index value, you specify at which level you wish to be notified. High must be higher than the current BTC index, and Low must be lower. When the index reaches either your high or your low threshold, your android device will be notified by the Android push API. A notification message will be displayed in your status bar immediately. The application never runs in the background, and no polling is performed.
When the Bitcoin index reaches your specified value, you will be notified instantly, currently between 2 and 60 seconds after the actual index value change. In the future, we will attempt to make this delay even smaller.

-Works again, changed to use MtGox's changed API.
-Numeric input instead of a drop down box for alert values. I know you have wanted this one for quite some time :)
-GUI should scale better on most devices

I've seen some poorly designed apps, but this has to be the worst. It looks like the developer just made an iFrame and stuck a website on it

Constantly stuck in "Push notifications not activated. Waiting for C2DM. Please reload shortly" Reloaded 1000 times, still nothing. Developer hasn't responded email

Just installed. First result: Server error. Second try: Server error. This is pure madness and now holds the record for the shortest program retention time on my phone---uninstalled after less than a minute.

Gox price doesn't refresh on nexus 4, just stuck on the price it was at when app was installed. Reboot doesn't help, no error messages.
