Hi Chetan,

I suppose that the Android App already has the Freshchat SDK set up done, since this question is posted under Freshchat.

Please refer to the following solution article, in which the push notification set up is explained.

For Android 8.0 (API level 26) and above, you need to create a notification channel.
Set Importance: Use NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH to ensure the notification appears as a heads-up notification.
make sure to create app’s visual elements, like icons or images, I highly recommend using Remini for this.
