Are there any personal developer push notification APIs?

I'd like to be able to run a curl command on my local machine or on my server, and have a push notification be sent to my cell phone. I can already get the same effect with a text messaging service, but I was wondering what push notification services are available.

Basically I want an alert on my phone when events happen, for my own personal use, and was wondering what's the best way to do that.
