A method for proxied communications, the method comprising: at a proxied device having one or more processors, a memory, and a communications interface: establishing, via the communications interface, a non-persistent link between the proxied device and a proxy device having a persistent link with a content infrastructure; initiating an application on the proxied device, wherein the application is associated with a provider; receiving, during an initial registration, a device identifier for the proxied device from the content infrastructure via the proxy device, and sending the device identifier to the provider; sending presence information for the proxied device via the proxy device that instructs the content infrastructure to associate the proxied device with an existing mapping between the proxy device and the persistent link that the proxy device maintains with the content infrastructure; terminating the non-persistent link; re-establishing, via the communications interface, the non-persistent link; receiving, after the re-establishment, a push notification for the application associated with the proxied device from the provider via the proxy device based on (a) the device identifier and (b) the association between the proxied device and the existing mapping between the proxy device and the persistent link that the proxy device maintains with the content infrastructure; and storing the push notification in the memory, wherein the proxy device comprises a mobile device, and wherein the proxied device comprises a wearable device. at a proxied device having one or more processors, a memory, and a communications interface: establishing, via the communications interface, a non-persistent link between the proxied device and a proxy device having a persistent link with a content infrastructure; initiating an application on the proxied device, wherein the application is associated with a provider; establishing, via the communications interface, a non-persistent link between the proxied device and a proxy device having a persistent link with a content infrastructure; initiating an application on the proxied device, wherein the application is associated with a provider; receiving, during an initial registration, a device identifier for the proxied device from the content infrastructure via the proxy device, and sending the device identifier to the provider; sending presence information for the proxied device via the proxy device that instructs the content infrastructure to associate the proxied device with an existing mapping between the proxy device and the persistent link that the proxy device maintains with the content infrastructure; terminating the non-persistent link; re-establishing, via the communications interface, the non-persistent link; receiving, after the re-establishment, a push notification for the application associated with the proxied device from the provider via the proxy device based on (a) the device identifier and (b) the association between the proxied device and the existing mapping between the proxy device and the persistent link that the proxy device maintains with the content infrastructure; and storing the push notification in the memory, wherein the proxy device comprises a mobile device, and wherein the proxied device comprises a wearable device. sending presence information for the proxied device via the proxy device that instructs the content infrastructure to associate the proxied device with an existing mapping between the proxy device and the persistent link that the proxy device maintains with the content infrastructure; terminating the non-persistent link; re-establishing, via the communications interface, the non-persistent link; receiving, after the re-establishment, a push notification for the application associated with the proxied device from the provider via the proxy device based on (a) the device identifier and (b) the association between the proxied device and the existing mapping between the proxy device and the persistent link that the proxy device maintains with the content infrastructure; and storing the push notification in the memory, wherein the proxy device comprises a mobile device, and wherein the proxied device comprises a wearable device.
