| I want to implement push notification for my Windows Phone app. The same app is being created for Android also. I have GCM for Android and MPNS for Windows Phone. But instead of using platform specific PUSH mechanism, I want to use MQTT. Is there a support for this protocol in Windows Phone? |

It depends on what you mean by MQTT
MQTT is a standard, not a product. |

as I replied on the MQTT Google Group (you also seem to have asked this on Stack Overflow), I don't know of a specific client implementation for Windows Phone, but in principle it might be possible to compile the Paho C client for WP, or use one of the .NET implementations listed at mqtt.org/software |

As Jeff says, MQTT is a protocol. There are a large number of implementations. Some of the Java implementations work on Android. As for whether things are "supported", that depends on who is doing the support  |
