Amazon Device Messaging, a free service that allows you to send cloud-based push notifications to Kindle Fire customers, is now out of Beta and is in general availability.
You can use ADM to send encrypted real-time notification to update users on breaking news or let them know that a new game task is available for them to complete. You can also use ADM for instant messaging functionality or social networking notifications within your app.

Feedback from the Beta
During the ADM beta, we had big and small companies try the service, and we got international developer feedback as well. Here is some of the feedback we received:
From Wooga, a social game developer based in Berlin:
“The decision to integrate Amazon Device Messaging into Diamond Dash was a cinch – it is a clear win”, said Soenke Bullerdiek, Senior Manager Strategic Platform Partnerships, from Wooga, “Even better, it was easy to enable and only took a few days of work to start sending push notifications to our users.”
From Gameloft, a world-wide game developer based in the U.S.:
“We decided to use Amazon Device Messaging as a new way to engage our Oregon Trail American Settlers customers on Kindle Fire. The documentation and sample code was easy to understand for our studios.” Baudouin Corman, VP Americas Gameloft.
