title: Windows Phone 8 push notification without MPNS?
body: <p>We already have a push notification system that consists of Websphere MQTT for server side, and Paho client for Android side. We now want to extend its scope to Windows Phone 8, but as far as I understood from Microsoft' s documentations, it is necessary to use MPNS in order to implement notifications in WP8. 
  My question is, do we have any workaround to use our existing notification system(Websphere MQTT) without using any part of MPNS? </p>
  
  <p>We wrote .NET client that is working perfectly with our system, and I believe it can get to work in WP8 platform after some modifications, somehow.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance</p>
