iOS Android and windows Push notification

Question

I have an application for for iOS, Android and Windows mobile.I want to send notifications to the application. AFAIK as someone new to this, I think that I need to send the notifications from my server to GCM server for Android and APNS for iphone, I have no idea for windows.

I was hoping if I can send the notifications directly to the phone (setting up a XMPP server , what the IM messenger usually use (JABBER,EJABBERD etc.)) without going to APNS of GCM .

EDIT : The application is an enterprise application so some customers don't want to share aur route their data across GCM or APNS servers.

Is that possible, please guide me to the same .

Thanks.
