Openfire and push notifications

I am writing an IOS app that is basically a jabber chat app. I am using Openfire for the xmpp server and so far its been great. The problem I am facing now is with push notifications. The app is written in Xcode which gets user data from a PHP Api. Openfire is the xmpp server. The issue is that when the app sends a message to openfire I would need to also query the Php api to see if the user is online and if they are not, send a push notification. This would have to happen for each message sent and as you might guess that will affect performance with all those requests happening.

I have everything working, I just cant get past this hump. If only openfire would fife off a request of my choice upon receiving a message.

Can anyone suggest a better idea? Basically need to know if the user is online (presence) before so that I know to fire off the push notification and I dont want to fire off two requests from my app per message sent. Thanks.

In openfire the messages to offline users are stored in ofoffline table. So your php code neednot worry about the status of the user if der is any entry in the ofOfline table it means the user was offline. Now create a scheduler that will keep looking in the ofOfline table for offline messages club them together and push notification to the user

i have spen lots of time for in XAMPPHP Library but cant find any proper solution. so for develop a web base chat application with jabber server. rather than using XAMPPHP, you can use "http://strophe.im/strophejs/" it will be much faster than XAMPPHP and you can find more js plugin for Strophe js. and you can also find more ready made xmpp client base on strophe js. so it will better than XAMPHP.
