+As well as this module, your client must support push notifications (the
+apps that need it generally do, of course) and the app developer's push
+gateway must be reachable from your Prosody server (this happens over a
+normal XMPP server-to-server 's2s' connection).

+# Details

 Some platforms, notably Apple's iOS and many versions of Android, impose
-limits that prevent applications from running or accessing the network in the
-background. This makes it difficult or impossible for an XMPP application to
-remain reliably connected to a server to receive messages.
-
-In order for messaging and other apps to receive notifications, the OS vendors
-run proprietary servers that their OS maintains a permanent connection to in
-the background. Then they provide APIs to application developers that allow
-sending notifications to specific devices via those servers.

-When you connect to your server with an app that requires push notifications,
-it will use this module to set up a "push registration". When you receive
-a message but your device is not connected to the server, this module will
-generate a notification and send it to the push gateway operated by your
-application's developers). Their gateway will then connect to your device's
-OS vendor and ask them to forward the notification to your device. When your
-device receives the notification, it will display it or wake up the app so it
-can connect to XMPP and receive any pending messages.

-Configuration
-=============
+# Configuration

-  Option                               Default           Description
-  ------------------------------------ ----------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-  `push_notification_important_body`   `New Message!`    The body text to use when the stanza is important (see above), no message body is sent if this is empty
-  `push_max_errors`                    `16`              How much persistent push errors are tolerated before notifications for the identifier in question are disabled
-  `push_max_devices`                   `5`               The number of allowed devices per user (the oldest devices are automatically removed if this threshold is reached)
-  `push_max_hibernation_timeout`       `259200` (72h)    Number of seconds to extend the smacks timeout if no push was triggered yet (default: 72 hours)
-  `push_notification_with_body` (\*)   `false`           Whether or not to send the real message body to remote pubsub node. Without end-to-end encryption, enabling this may expose your message contents to your client developers and OS vendor. Not recommended.
-  `push_notification_with_sender` (\*) `false`           Whether or not to send the real message sender to remote pubsub node.  Enabling this may expose your contacts to your client developers and OS vendor. Not recommended.

-Internal design notes
-=====================
+# Internal design notes

-App servers are notified about offline messages, messages stored by [mod_mam]
-or messages waiting in the smacks queue.
-The business rules outlined [here](//mail.jabber.org/pipermail/standards/2016-February/030925.html) are all honored[^2].

-To cooperate with [mod_smacks] this module consumes some events:
-`smacks-ack-delayed`, `smacks-hibernation-start` and `smacks-hibernation-end`.
-These events allow this module to send out notifications for messages received
-while the session is hibernated by [mod_smacks] or even when smacks
-acknowledgements for messages are delayed by a certain amount of seconds
-configurable with the [mod_smacks] setting `smacks_max_ack_delay`.

-The `smacks_max_ack_delay` setting allows to send out notifications to clients
-which aren't already in smacks hibernation state (because the read timeout or
-connection close didn't already happen) but also aren't responding to acknowledgement
-request in a timely manner. This setting thus allows conversations to be smoother
-under such circumstances.

-The new event `cloud-notify-ping` can be used by any module to send out a cloud

-The config setting `push_notification_important_body` can be used to specify an alternative
-body text to send to the remote pubsub node if the stanza is encrypted or has a body.
-This way the real contents of the message aren't revealed to the push appserver but it
-can still see that the push is important.
-This is used by Chatsecure on iOS to send out high priority pushes in those cases for example.

-Compatibility
-=============
-
-**Note:** This module should be used with Lua 5.2 and higher. Using it with
-Lua 5.1 may cause push notifications to not be sent to some clients.
