+# Mapan Loyalty Push Notifications
+
+This Odoo 19 module acts as the backend engine for the Flutter Mobile Loyalty App's Notification System.
+It supports a highly effective, Firebase-free **Background Fetch** and **In-App Notification Center** mechanic directly inside your Odoo database.
+
+## Features
+- **App Notifications Model (`mapan.app.notification`)**: Persistently stores historical promotional messages sent out to customers.
+- **Marketing Mobile Wizard**: A clean, accessible user interface to draft targeted push notifications to explicitly selected customers (or blast them out globally).
+- **Public Fetch API (`/api/loyalty/fetch_notifications`)**: A secure JSON endpoint specifically designed for the Mobile App's background task to efficiently query unread promos while the phone is sleeping.
+
+## Architecture
+Instead of actively pushing out network payloads to smartphones (which requires rigid Google Cloud keys), this module acts as a "Billboard".
+The customer's Android app uses OS-level background workers to silently wake up every 15 minutes, interrogating this Odoo API to see if new promos exist, and triggering native local notifications entirely on the device.
+
+## Usage
+Simply install the module. No external APIs or JSON keys are required! You can find the marketing wizard menu under **Custom > Mobile App Push**.
