Erm, it's more of a "how should multi-tasking be handled on a mobile/portable device where battery life is in issue" discussion.
Just because we've always done it one way doesn't mean it's right. Because mobiles are building operating systems from the ground up we have a new opportunity to check what works and what doesn't.
I think it makes sense for the cloud service to push notifications and the device to receive. Less work on your device means better battery life. Let the powerhouse server with dedicated power do the lifting.
