Is Apple Stopping Push Notifications on Hacked iPhones?

This question about whether Apple is blocking hacked/jailbroken/unlocked iPhones from receiving push notifications has been risen by PoweryBase a Czech development company which has seen the number of customer complaints for its NotifyMe app has spiked.

“When the Push based application such as NotifyMe requests an ID from APNS, the server responds within a second and identifies the device with the unique token. From that point, the connection between APNS and user’s device is successfully established,”

“However, on a unofficially activated device, APNS keeps the application wait forever and does not provide any respond at all, keeping user wait infinitely or time out the connection, if the target application is capable of timing out.” (Pavel Serbajlo, PoweryBase, Lead Developer)

In the meantime, the company discourages to use (and purchase) of its application on hacked iPhones. If Apple was really blocking notifications, it should affect other apps as well.
