Android VOIP clients were always a bit crap, precisely because they 
lacked a reliable push notification.

Obviously it is easy enough to use a busy loop, continual checking of a 
remote site, but that drains the battery. The ideal would be to have an 
OS observable mechanism to receive a remote push notification and wake a 
local app from sleep.

I haven't checked recently to see if this has been delivered.
