    Por Que e Quando Desempenhar Esta Tarefa

    Push notifications are application-specific: They are sent to one type of mobile application, regardless of how many users have this application installed. If you develop your own mobile application, you must configure it for use by creating a record for it in the Push Application [sys_push_application] table. By default, ServiceNow mobile applications are automatically set up and ready to use.
