/push rest api gives me 500 error but the message gets through

[lamenramen]

Can someone give me an example of how to send a push notification with Strongloop using the REST API?

What endpoint do I use? POST /push or POST /notifications?

Docs do not tell me what the difference is and when to use which.

When I send a test push notification using /push REST API I'm getting a 500 error.

http://localhost:3010/api/push
Response Body
{
  "error": {
    "name": "Error",
    "status": 500,
    "message": "Cannot configure push notifications - unknown application id \"MyLoopBackApp\"",
    "details": {
      "appId": "MyLoopBackApp"
    },
    "stack": "Error: Cannot configure push notifications - unknown application id \"MyLoopBackApp\"\n   
  }
}

Ironically, the push message actually works. So I don't understand the error. I assure you that MyLoopBackApp is not my app id. It's loopback-component-push-app The only place this text is on my computer is in some device-registration-test.js files that are for testing this component.

When I send a push notification using the /notifications API, I get a 200 success but the message never comes to my phone.

The notificaiton I'm sending is:
