Appcelerator Android GCM without Appcelerator Cloud Service

Question

I'm developing an application on Appcelerator Platform. In my android version I want to enable push notifications but I don't want to use Appcelerator Cloud Service. Could this be done using only Google Cloud Messaging?

Thanks,

Yes, you can very well use GCM without using ACS. ACS is a service offered by Appcelerator and you may/may not choose to accept it. If using GCM, then you need to use modules to work with it.
