Are you sure you can't afford it? How big is your service going to be?
Give us some numbers :-)
Actually it is weird since the manager don't want to use it in fact, he want a "custom solution". This is why i am saying i can't afford it.
Well, a custom solution is probably going to be more expensive than a managed one. I'm not following the logic :-(
I think he meant "afford" in a non-monetary way.

The logic i had in mind it to build a simple websocket server app which will receive notification from application server and dispatch it to concerned clients which are currently connected. Like pusher.com, in the same logic of working i mean
Take a look at my article about it. It could give you a good starting point.
