This document explains how to setup an application that enables sending and receiving Android Push Notifications, and then adding this application to the Appoxee messaging service.
The application setup process consists of the following steps:
- Step A: Google Setup – 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: Appoxee Setup -allow Appoxee to send notifications from your application. This is done by adding the Android app to your Appoxee account.
An application has two environments: Development and Production.
Since GCM serves all Push notifications, you must distinguish between the Development and Production environments through your Appoxee 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 Appoxee Android SDK Integration).
