This document explains how to setup an application that enables sending and receiving Android Push Notifications, and then adding this application to the Mapp Cloud messaging service.
The application setup process consists of the following steps:
- Step A: Enable Firebase Cloud Messaging for Mapp Cloud - allow your app to send and receive Push Notifications.
This is done by creating an Android app, get a Google Project ID and an API key, and then enable the Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) service.
- Step B: Enable Android Channel in Mapp Cloud - allow Mapp Cloud to send notifications from your application. This is done by adding the Android app to your Mapp cloud account.

An application has two environments: Development and Production. |
Once you complete the Android Application Setup process, your next task is to add Push notifications to your code (see Android SDK Integration for Mapp Cloud).
