The Notification security profile is to enable push notifications using the Notification User role.
The administrator can configure the Notification security profile to include any combination of security providers as needed. Once the profile is configured, the administrator must edit the Notification-role-mapping.xml to map the Notification User logical role to the appropriate physical roles.
In SAP Mobile Platform, the back end sends a notification to synchronize data directly to a specific device. When the back end sends a notification to a client application, which has subscribed to it, it connects to the SAP Mobile Platform to forward the notification. For example, for iOS the notification is forwarded via Apple Push Notifications (APNS) and for Android the notification is forwarded via Google Cloud Messaging (GCM).
