**To send push notifications on Android, you need to associate a Firebase Cloud Messaging account with your Firebase project. For this, it is necessary to generate a service account key.**

## Generate a Service Account Key

If you haven't already done so, the first step is to [create a Firebase project](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/integrations/create-a-firebase-project/) for your application.

Next, go to your [Firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/).

Go to the **Project Settings** in the **Cloud Messaging** tab.

**Ensure** that the Firebase Cloud Messaging API (v1) is enabled!

In the **Service Accounts** tab, click the **Generate New Private Key** button.

## Upload Your Service Account Key

Go back to your [PandaSuite dashboard](https://pandasuite.com/dashboard/publish/) in the **Apps** section.

Select your application, the **Settings** tab, and the **Push Notifications** section. Upload this private key and save it.
