What Are Push Notifications?
A notification is a message that pops up on the user’s device. Notifications can be triggered locally by an open application or they can be “pushed” in real-time from the server to the user, even when the app is not running.
The main idea behind push notifications is to engage users and keep everyone up to date with the latest content or features. For instance, you might get daily notifications from the Medium mobile app, those are push notifications!
