    3. Select a value for Notification Mode that determines the way in which the notifications are delivered to the device:
      • Only native notifications - send notifications through native third party channels only (APNS for Apple devices, GCM for Android devices, BES for BlackBerry devices, and so on). Devices registered by the REST API only support native notification, because these applications do not have access to the client libraries required to receive a payload push notification.
      • Only Payload(Online) push - send reliable push messages (with business data as payload) through SAP Mobile Platform messaging channel only when the device is online. This mode is not supported for device registered by the REST API.
      • Payload(Online) push with native notification - send reliable push messages (with business data as payload) through SAP Mobile Platform messaging channel when the device is online, and use native notification through third party channels only if the device is off-line. This mode is not supported for device registered by the REST API.
