Push notifications are both an **Android-only** and **Mbin-only** feature at the moment. That means if you are not on an Android device, or you are not signed into an Mbin account, then push notifications will not work.

To get push notifications working in Interstellar, you will need to install a [UnifiedPush distributor app](https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/), which will allow Interstellar to register a push notification listener with that distributor. This enables Interstellar to receive push notifications even without being open in the background.

Our personal recommendation is to install the [Sunup](https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/sunup/) distributor. You don't have to do anything else through Sunup once it's installed.
For Android, our personal recommendation is to install the [Sunup](https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/sunup/) distributor. You don't have to do anything else through Sunup once it's installed.

Once you have a UnifiedPush distributor set up, return to Interstellar and ensure you are currently signed in to an Mbin account. Now, while you're on the settings page, click Notifications, then click the toggle to enable Push Notifications. If everything went well, you should have received a "Test Notification" on your device. Toggle the switch again if you ever want to disable push notifications.
For Linux, the only available distributor at the time of writing is [KUnifiedPush](https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/kunifiedpush/).

Push notifications from multiple accounts are supported. Just switch to the separate account you'd like, then follow the same steps to enable push notifications.
