Android Implementing Designs for Android Adding Push Notifications from Parse.com Setting Up Push Notifications

Push notification test was successful but It didn't show the push notification in the emulator

Just as the title implies, the push test was successful. But it didn't show the notification in the status bar. Any help is appreciated, thanks. Oh and I'm using genymotion as my emulator, running a nexus 4 with api 19 (4.4.4).

RibbitApplication.java

package com.teamtreehouse.ribbit;

import android.app.Application;

import com.parse.Parse;
import com.parse.ParseInstallation;

public class RibbitApplication extends Application {

    @Override
    public void onCreate() {
        super.onCreate();
        Parse.initialize(this,
                "xPvxj9cx2bD4PDv1Doxt8pZFIW47nG70SwVzhlk3",
                "xQS0mVnFFBD5gTN2kf6op0cxZ6Upk3D8wVMfHLri");

        ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
    }
}
