Implement an interface for sending notifications to clients when they are not connected. This is possible on many platforms:
- Android: C2DM
- iOS: Push Notifications
- Windows Mobile: MPN
- Desktop Clients: Running WCF webservice on client

Since the client wouldn't need to be connected to a service to receive these notifications it would help save battery life on the remotes.

Some usage scenarios for this would be:
- Sending the server configuration to clients for easy setup
- Notification when MediaPortal is started/closed
- Notification when server is started
- Notification when a recording starts
- Notification on conflicting schedules
- Notification when tvservice or mediaportal crashes
