Distributors

In order to use UnifiedPush, you need to choose a distributor to use. A distributor is the application that serves as the middle-man that receives the notification from its server and pushes it to your other applications on your phone. Think of it as a privacy-friendly postman for your notifications. Central to the distributor is its push server, which is the backend system that receives notifications from the app’s server and sends it to the distributor on your phone. It’s the starting point for delivering notifications to your device, and you often have a choice of using the distributor’s default push server, or hosting your own.
