title: Apple Push Notification - require a custom application to test?
body: <p>When you setup your push notification server, and want to send a message to yourself to test  push notification.</p>
  
  <p>Do you need to create a custom application in order to recieve the push notification messages?</p>
  
  <p>OR</p>
  
  <p>Does the push notification message just get sent to the device without any special application required? just like a SMS? (the message application is already built into the OS, is this the case with push notification?)</p>
