What would be a good chat app. that you can send notifications to a group when a war has started (like sending a text message)? Would also be nice to be able to turn it off when not playing.

GroupMe, Parlingo, Kako & LINE Messenger seem to be the most popular thru the MW community and in that order
Palringo has to be top of the list, groupme is crap.
groupme easily the best i have tried.
Used GROUPME for SUP2, HIPCHAT for SUP1 and Ferr, KIK for seal team-6 and Palringo for my LLP faction.
I'm tired of installing apps lol.
HIPCHAT format is boring, kik only allows 20 users per room, and Palringo is bland.
I enjoyed the GroupMe features the best, especially with the new update.
We use groupme.
groupme allows 50 and they will expand that upon request..can post pictures and now has emoticons. i really don't know what other features you would want. we tried skype and touch..skype was okay but not the kind of features that you have on groupme. touch was horrific.
I like kakao and wechat the most

I like groupme better but it has a max members list of 50, so if you need something to handle larger amount of members go with Palringo.

Nuked my base and officially retired. I win.
Feature wise and ease of use wise, Kakao Talk and LINE are nearly identical, with minor differences. No limit on chatroom size. For MW, Palringo and Group Me seem to be most popular.
I've used all of them. If I had to select one, it would be between LINE and kakao.
So the REAL answer to your underlying question - which seems to be how to let people know war has started - seems to be different than what is a good app to chat it up during a war.
Here's an idea I've been working on - because emails - chats - just don't get my attention anymore with the mass amount of notiifications I get - which is why I usually ask someone who is on to text me once a battle is engaged or specifically text my LLP if there is a good target in range.
So yo mentioned text - and truly - most people have a different "sound" for text than for emails - so a Text message would actually get your attention.
Here is one possible solution: If a team member owns a domain - say for instance - mwteamzulu.com - then they would have complete control over creating an email alias / and group email lists for the whole team.
Works like this - Flounder tells the domain owner to create a redirect email for flounder@mwteamzulu.com and have it go to his cellphone text or pic address - i.e. - 6195551212@vtext.com (for verizon) and each phone carrier has an email that converts to your cell number.
Then the owner of that domain could create an email Group with ALL of those folks as a member called WAR@mwteamzulu.com - and when war is engaged - a single email can go out to everyone in that list - and come through as a text - without having to lay out your phone number to everyone :0
You could even create special lists for each time of day that you care to be notified - so for instance - USdaytimezones@mwteamzulu.com - and then the email is initiated for those who want to be notified during those set hours - euroteam@mwteamzulu.com - nightcrew@mwteamzulu.com - etc
It sounds more complicated than it is - but - I think this may be the most effective way to get everyone on the team quickly and effectively notified
If you are saying to yourself : "Huh" - then maybe you just never owned a domain and let those who do figure it out
Good Luck!
Don't whine about a problem unless you're prepared to offer a reasonable solution.

McDoc has a great idea. Mine is the best app for it is one that has a distinct sound, or one that has a pop up over the MW game or app your currently on. And the ability to reply msg the group without having to shut down the MW app. Unless you are using a seperate device or PC for groupme, it gets tiredsome re-loading MW after each message.
But - if your faction runs smoothly enough, you can set designated times for war declaration. (NEXT BATTLE IN 30 MIN)
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
We use groupme as well.
