Do most apps use push notifications or not?

---

It's been awhile since I've owned an Android phone, and I'm thinking of going back... But what I'm wondering, is do most Android apps use push notifications like iOS does? I honestly don't remember. And things might've changed since I left.

I specifically care about Facebook, Twitter, maybe Tapatalk and Google+

facebook and twitter have push notifications for all android phones with OS 2.2 or higher. I'm sure Google+ has it too but not entirely, and there is no push for Tapatalk.

Facebook has push? Sweet. For some reason I just remember having to choose between 1 hour, 15 minutes, or whatever. It was annoying.

Facebook doesn't have push notifications... I just used my friends Android phone, there's no push notifications. You just get to choose a refresh rate. Crap. Am I missing something here?

Facebook has Push Notifications.
Just set the Refresh Rate to “Never” and enable any notifications you want.

Seriously? Oh wow - thank you! Facebook sure did a bad job making things clear, didn't they?

YES!!!!! It's unbelievably inconvenient and it has caused much confusion!

how do we enable twitter push notification?
all i see is a "sync enabled" checkbox and a "sync interval" for 5,10,15,30min etc. there's no push.
