# pushNotifications
Process: [Main](../glossary.md#main-process)
> Register for and receive notifications from remote push notification services
For example, when registering for push notifications via Apple push notification services (APNS):
```js
const { pushNotifications, Notification } = require('electron')
pushNotifications.registerForAPNSNotifications().then((token) => {
// forward token to your remote notification server
})
pushNotifications.on('received-apns-notification', (event, userInfo) => {
// generate a new Notification object with the relevant userInfo fields
})
```
## Events
The `pushNotification` module emits the following events:
#### Event: 'received-apns-notification' _macOS_
Returns:
* `event` Event
* `userInfo` Record\<String, any\>
Emitted when the app receives a remote notification while running.

## Methods
The `pushNotification` module has the following methods:
### `pushNotifications.registerForAPNSNotifications()` _macOS_
Returns `Promise<string>`
Registers the app with Apple Push Notification service (APNS) to receive [Badge, Sound, and Alert](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/nsremotenotificationtype?language=objc) notifications. If registration is successful, the promise will be resolved with the APNS device token. Otherwise, the promise will be rejected with an error message.

### `pushNotifications.unregisterForAPNSNotifications()` _macOS_
Unregisters the app from notifications received from APNS.
