title: Push Notifications with Ionic 2
body: <p>I am trying to set up <strong>Push Notifications</strong> with <strong>Ionic 2</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>I believe I need to set up <strong>Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)</strong>. However, every tutorial I look at seems out of date, even pretty recent ones including <a href="https://docs.ionic.io/services/profiles/#android-gcm-project--api-key" rel="nofollow">this <strong>Ionic 2</strong> one</a>. I think Google have changed their service to rather use <strong>Firebase</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have reference to a tutorial that explains how to set up <strong>GCM</strong> with <strong>Ionic 2</strong> please?  Or is there a better alternative?</p>
