Mobile Push Notifications
Native Push (Notification Service)
If you are using push notification service, the configurations detailed here should be implemented; however these steps are not mandatory to complete your GMS installation. See also Push Notification Service for more information.
Some services send native push messages to the mobile device. For this to work, both general and device-specific settings need to be configured correctly in the push section of your Genesys Mobile Services Application object.
 Options set in the push section determine how all push notifications are handled by Genesys Mobile Services, regardless of which service is sending the notification.

Note that it is possible to configure this native push notification service for more than one type of device by using a comma-delimited string in the pushEnabled option. In this case, be sure to configure the mandatory options for all available device types.
