Their phone buzzes in their pocket, and your message appears front and center on their phone.

Wow, is that going to be annoying to users. It's the worst kind of advertising. So now the user will get a dialog he has to click, it's hardly an unobtrusive ad. It's so bad, I think the best use of it is for anti-cracking. So if the app finds it is cracked, it registers with the server, and the user gets an alert once a day reminding him to buy the app. Now that would discourage piracy!
For legit ads, I wouldn't use this without explicit user opt-in.
