This commit is contained in:

 | 
			
		||||
   https://push.zulipchat.com` line in your `/etc/zulip/settings.py`
 | 
			
		||||
   file, and
 | 
			
		||||
   [restart your Zulip server](prod-maintain-secure-upgrade.html#updating-settings).
 | 
			
		||||
   Note that if you installed Zulip older than 1.6, you'll need to add
 | 
			
		||||
   the line (it won't be there to uncomment).
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
That should be all you need to do!
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
To test whether you've configured it properly, just
 | 
			
		||||
[configure mobile push notifications to always be sent][notification-settings],
 | 
			
		||||
start the
 | 
			
		||||
[Zulip Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zulip.android),
 | 
			
		||||
in the background, and then have another user send you private
 | 
			
		||||
messages.  They should appear in the Android notification area.
 | 
			
		||||
To test whether you've configured it properly, you should do the
 | 
			
		||||
following:
 | 
			
		||||
* [Configure mobile push notifications to always be sent][notification-settings]
 | 
			
		||||
  (normally they're only sent if you're idle, which isn't ideal for
 | 
			
		||||
  this sort of testing).
 | 
			
		||||
* On an Android device, download and login to the
 | 
			
		||||
[Zulip Android app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zulip.android).
 | 
			
		||||
If you were already logged in before configuring the server, you'll
 | 
			
		||||
need to logout first, since the app only registers for push
 | 
			
		||||
notifications on login.
 | 
			
		||||
* Hit the home button, so Zulip is running in the background, and then
 | 
			
		||||
have another user send you a private message.  A push notification
 | 
			
		||||
should appear in the Android notification area.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Zulip's [new iOS app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/zulip/id1203036395)
 | 
			
		||||
doesn't yet support push notifications, but it will by July 2017.
