Set up push notifications

We can send push notifications to mobile devices via the MobileFirst Server. We can set up push notifications on Android, iOS, and Windows Phone 8.

The process for setting up push notifications varies significantly for each platform, and for Android and iOS we must refer to documentation for those products. For more information about the processes for each platform, see the following tasks:

• Set up push notifications for Android
  To set up push notifications for Android devices, we must use the Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) service. To use GCM, we need a valid Gmail account.

• Set up push notifications for iOS
  To set up push notifications for iOS devices, we must use the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS). To use APNS, we must be a registered Apple iOS Developer and obtain an Apple APNS certificate for the application.

• Set up push notifications for Windows Phone 8
  We can set up a web service to provide authenticated or unauthenticated push notification on Windows Phone 8.
