The advances of digital technology bring the era where the communication platform of modern society facilitates the spreading of information which is effortless yet distracting. This paper describes the development of a mobile application on the android platform as a service that provides information on Indonesian space weather conditions where the pushed- notification method is used to deliver information to the service’s stakeholders as the targeted users. The notification which presents the message directly to the users’ device is considered the most effective way to engage the users. A cross-platform message data builder based on GSON and Retrofit interface is implemented to construct information contents in the notification as well as in the application, suitable for use cases that occurred to accommodate the user preference. Furthermore, the application uses mobile device token identification to specifically manage the engagement process served by Firebase, a Google cloud messaging system. The application analytic indicates that the user-application retention of average users is about 80 percent and the success rate of delivered instant messages with push notification is 96 percent respectively during one month of testing from 48 registered users.
