It does not.

It's a plain-old TCP connection in GMSCore, but has special permissions to ignore various power save modes.

I personally wish Google would work with mobile networks to replace it with something lower level (eg. Based on the same thing used to initiate phone calls), because a hanging TCP connection open for many hours gets unreliable as NAT drops it and as the phone migrates from one mobile network to another (eg. Across country boundaries)

That was how BlackBerry worked wasn't it?
