Push Notification Assistant is an Android application developed by Christopher Reynolds. It falls under the category of Utilities & Tools and aims to prevent your phone's data stream from going idle, especially for users with carriers that have strict time-out settings on their access points.

The application works by broadcasting a Google Cloud Messaging service heartbeat at regular intervals to keep your data connection alive. If your connection has already gone idle, Push Notification Assistant will make a request to re-enable it. The app consumes very little battery and uses only a small amount of data, even when running continuously in the background.

The free trial version of Push Notification Assistant allows you to test its effectiveness for approximately two hours before it stops. To continue using the app, you need to manually restart it. The trial version also includes random video ads to support the developer.

If the app meets your needs, consider upgrading to the full version to remove the video ads and ensure uninterrupted usage. The full version also adds the feature of automatically starting the application after your phone reboots.

Please note that the developer is open to translations and encourages interested parties to reach out for collaboration.
