Can you set up Notifications on the blackberry without a server?

I wish to use the equivalent of Push Notifications, but I don't really need a server to decide when to push as it's really just calendar pre-set dates.

Any help thoughts /comments most appreciated

Cheers

where is the calendar itself? (device or backend server) If it's all on the device then your app can simply sleep until the next calendar pre-set date occurs.

Well the list of dates/time are generated based off a quiz on the phone. Say at 7pm Sunday it would randomly notify the user to do xyz related to the quiz.

unless you already have a backend for some other purpose it sounds to me like using the BB push service is overkill.

Thanks, that's all I needed to know, it seemed strange that one could receive push notifications, while there was no way to setup the equivalent based on a Date/Time. Cheers
