Welcome to mobile app development!

But seriously, yeah, that kind of crap really makes you pine for the "it just works" simplicity of the Web.

Yeah, I think you will need push notifications for that. Normally it wouldn't be a problem if your app was running on the user's phone all the time but that isn't really possible most of the time. So you need a way to send out a notification, and push notifications fit the bill.

Having worked with node and Socket.io, I am sure you are aware of how out-of-control those socket callbacks can get and how difficult it can be to manage them.

What kind of suggestions are you looking for?

Is this a mobile app? What are the requirements?
