<p>This topic shows you how to use Windows Azure Mobile Services to send push notifications to an Android app. In this tutorial you add push notifications using the Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) service to the quickstart project. When complete, your mobile service will send a push notification each time a record is inserted.</p>
