Android Application Setup for Mapp Cloud

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:

An application has two environments: Development and Production.
Since FCM serves all Push notifications, you must distinguish between the Development and Production environments through your Mapp cloud setup.
The best practice is to create a separate app for each environment (these two apps may share the same Google Project ID and API key).

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).
