How to: Test Your Push Notifications

Do you want to test your push notification API integration but don't want to bother your app users with accidental test notifications? Then you're in the right place. Here's how it works:

1. Download our push notification test app APK file
2. Install the APK file on your Android device
3. Open the app and, optionally, get your notification token (if you want to send notifications to only your device)
4. If you're using Android 13 or later, make sure push notifications are enabled for the app (the default prompt only comes up on the 3rd launch)
5. Copy the API key for the test app: M3KsAH4pOD14Cs5NS84p2LuXwurMSvUOUz6fCJl-VmQ
6. Use the API key in your API requests, such as:
   • Sending notifications to specific users
   • Sending notifications to groups of users
   • Sending a notification to all users via the API
7. Don't forget to switch to your actual app's API key when you're done testing and are ready to send production notifications.
