title: Is it possible to send notifications to Notification Center in Mountain Lion even when the app is not running, like in iOS?
body: <p>In iOS, you can register the APNS ID in a remote server; the server will use that ID with the proper certificates to send push notifications to the device even when the app that is receiving the notification is not running. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a similar mechanism for OSX Mountain Lion?  Can I get a pointer to any code/sample out there? </p>
  
  <p>Please note that I am not interested in local notification to the Notification Center, that is vastly discussed on the web. </p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
