How to Enable iPhone Push Notifications

.
To use iPhone push notifications, you’ll need:

• Apps that support them
• An iPhone or iPod touch
• iPhone OS 3.0 or higher
• A web connection (3G or WiFi)

Difficulty: Easy

Time Required: Less than a minute

Here's How:

1. To turn the notifications on, first install an app that supports them.
2. Next, tap the Settings icon, which is on your iPhone homescreen unless you re-arranged it.
3. In Settings, a Notifications menu will be near the top (if you don’t see it, you likely don’t have an app that supports them). Move the slider to “On.”
4. Turning notifications on will reveal the apps on your device that support push notifications. Choose the ones for which you want to turn on and off notifications. Some apps may have multiple types of events that can trigger notifications.
5. You have three choices for notifications: onscreen alert, sound, or badge (a number icon added to an app icon, a la the Mail app showing how many new messages you have).
   When you’re done with these settings, you’re done enabling iPhone push notifications.
