Hi Carlos,
We use third party providers to send Push notifications. For iOS, we use Urban Airship (http://urbanairship.com/), for Android, we use Google Cloud Messaging (http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html). These companies have more information on message timing/throttling (as in http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/adv.html). In general, in the best case scenario, messages are sent right away.
Unfortunately, we have no way of giving an exact figure because there are many variables at play, such as connectivity, max recipients per send depending on the provider's restrictions, etc.
I want to forewarn that sending out that many notifications at once may cause apps to get blacklisted by the distributors (like Apple). To avoid that, just be aware of best practices for Push and what scenarios it is considered acceptable.
