A push request is a request that the Push Initiator sends to the PPG, to request that the PPG distribute an included message to the supplied addresses.

• You can send a new message or the message can replace a previously-sent message that hasn't been distributed yet.
• You can list addresses explicitly or specify addresses with a short form (for example, for BlackBerry® devices, push_all).

The push message contains the XML control statement for the PPG to use and the content to be sent.

To get a response from the PPG, you as the Push Initiator must request notification of the result and provide a return address. If you request a result for a particular message, the PPG sends the result as a resultnotification-message. Then, the Push Initiator must send a resultnotification-response.
