I am a mobile app development virgin. We just want to test our Marketing App with a push notification service and was wondering if I can install a sample mobile app on my phone and configure it with a Push Notification Service so that my marketing app is able to send notifications to the installed mobile app through the push notification service.
Can you please let me know if this is possible? If yes, which sample mobile app should I use and which Restful push notification service should I use for my demo?
Thanks a lot in advance.

My organisation is looking at implementing 2 step authentication using push notifications sent to a mobile app on Android or IOS and I am struggling to automate the associated scenarios within our Testcafe testsuite, which include
enabling 2SA and connecting the mobile device via QR code scan from the web page and push confirmation
Login, where push notification is sent to the mobile device automatically after success username/password authentication
disabling 2SA via an automatically sent push notification to the mobile device
Is it possible to automate these scenarios using Testcafe, maybe using some mobile emulator or 'catching' the notifications at the API? To my knowledge, Testcafe is foremost targeted at browser testing and can also do API calls, but not consuming API messages without an associated call.
If you mean mobile push notifications (not web push notifications via Push API), there is no way TestCafe can access them since these notifications are native.
I am trying to build mobile marketing / campaign via Android smartphones and geofencing. Mobile Apps will be developed for certain customers.
Now i need to know if the end device has not installed our developed Mobile Apps still is it possible to send push notification or not at the end device.
Push notifications are app specific. If there is no app installed, then its notifications can not be shown too.
Is it possible to create an app that can send notification to the user who does not have the same app installed on his device.
I have come acrossed 'Push Notification' service via GCM and FCM but it requires the app being installed on both the devices to communicate or send notification.
(P.S- No suggestion for web application to user mobile service)
You can use other means of communication like SMS or email.
No. Notifications even though coming from Android Google servers are part of the app environment. So you cannot send an app notification to non app users. If that was the case imagine getting app notifications from Amazon and whatnot.
But you can use some other means like mail, sending links of your app via mail/sending invites via mail or SMS.
I have an android app already made and it supports push notification. I used Google cloud messaging for push notification. How to make the same push notification work on ios.
Do I have to make another one using apple push notification services?
Android and iOS are coded very differently, you can't just copy the app code in your android app and put it directly into an iOS app. You will have to learn how iOS push notifications work. I suggest this tutorial:

In order to use Push Notification in IOS device you need to integrate Apple's APNS service.
