Azure Notification Hubs provide an easy-to-use and scaled-out push engine that allows you to send notifications to any platform (iOS, Android, Windows, Kindle, Baidu, etc.) from any backend (cloud or on-premises). For more information about the service, see What is Azure Notification Hubs?.
In this quickstart, you create a notification hub in the Azure portal. The first section gives you steps to create a Notification Hubs namespace and a hub in that namespace. The second section gives you steps to create a notification hub in an existing Notification Hubs namespace.
In this section, you create a namespace and a hub in the namespace.

-
Sign in to the Azure portal.
-
Select All services on the left menu.
-
On the Notification Hubs page, select Create on the toolbar.
-
In the Basics tab on the Notification Hub page, do the following steps:
- In Subscription, select the name of the Azure subscription you want to use, and then select an existing resource group, or create a new one.
- Choose Select existing and select your namespace from the drop-down list box. A namespace contains one or more notification hubs, so type a name for the hub in Notification Hub Details.
-
Select a value from the Location drop-down list box. This value specifies the location in which you want to create the hub.

Review the Availability Zones option. If you chose a region that has availability zones, the check box is selected by default. Availability Zones is a paid feature, so an additional fee is added to your tier.
-
Choose a Disaster recovery option: None, Paired recovery region, or Flexible recovery region. If you choose Paired recovery region, the failover region is displayed. If you select Flexible recovery region, use the drop-down to choose from a list of recovery regions.
