The first box (*Sending push notifications*) when you create a new
application is a snippet of code to you use in you backend (using our
sender API[1]) to send a message to UPS and it delivery to the devices like
it[2]. The second box (*Registering installations*) when you create a
variant is a snippet of code to you use in you mobile app to register you
device in that application like it[3]
