PhoneGap-Android: Push Notification by Urban Airship from my server - php

Question

I am working in a Android PhoneGap app where i need to use push notification by Urban Airship. I integrated(Development+Debug) Urban Airship push notification in my app and send test push from Urban Airship website and receive push to all device successfully.
But i need to send push notification from my windows(IIS installed) server(push text and sent time will vary upon server time). I want to send push text according to my schedule task. Schedule task is complete by PHP code.
So,any clue or idea how can i send push notification from my sever with appropriate schedule?
Thanks in advance.

If you can run PHP on your server, following this documentation should get you there - Urban Airship Simple PHP I have used it and it works great!
You would need to enclose most of it in a function which would then get called by your appropriate schedule.
Edit: added code
<?php
define('APPKEY','XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'); // Your App Key
define('PUSHSECRET', 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX'); // Your Master Secret
define('PUSHURL', 'https://go.urbanairship.com/api/push/');
$contents = array();
$contents['badge'] = "+1";
$contents['alert'] = "PHP script test";
$contents['sound'] = "cat.caf";
$notification = array();
$notification['ios'] = $contents;
$platform = array();
array_push($platform, "ios");
$push = array("audience"=>"all", "notification"=>$notification, "device_types"=>$platform);
$json = json_encode($push);
echo "Payload: " . $json . "\n"; //show the payload
$session = curl_init(PUSHURL);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_USERPWD, APPKEY . ':' . PUSHSECRET);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POST, True);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HEADER, False);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, True);
curl_setopt($session, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-Type:application/json', 'Accept: application/vnd.urbanairship+json; version=3;'));
$content = curl_exec($session);
echo "Response: " . $content . "\n";
// Check if any error occured
$response = curl_getinfo($session);
if($response['http_code'] != 202) {
echo "Got negative response from server: " . $response['http_code'] . "\n";
} else {
echo "Wow, it worked!\n";
}
curl_close($session);
?>
