I was wondering if this can actually handle a whole push notification server. Do you think that it can be handled?

when it stabilizes - sure. I wrote a little crawler to try it out, it performed great but seemed to hit some bug when the backlog was huge (around 1G of task backlog). When these things are resolved - sure. But I'd give it some time.

EDIT: the memory issue was a mis-configuration on part. Apparently disque comes with maxmemory of 1G by default, and I just exceeded it :)

Thanks. I think I will definitely try to write a push server on it, maybe it's something that can help to stabilize the system and it can also act as a good test base.

Cool. If you do write it in Go feel free to use my library and I'll help you if you have any issues with it. I didn't really test it in real world deployment, so it probably hides some issues as well.
