Step 3: Enable push notifications in the GV for Windows Phone client on your WP7

Log into GV for Windows Phone. Click the three dots on the application bar at the bottom of the main page. Select "Settings". Enable which types of push notifications you'd like to receive. Tile notifications show up as a number of messages received since the last time you opened the app which is displayed on the App's tile on the start screen, if you've pinned it there. Toast notifications are little popups that appear at the top of the screen whenever you recieve a new voicemail or text message. These popups show who the message is from and contain a small part of the message text. Tapping a toast notification will launch the GV for Windows Phone app so that you can see the full message or respond.
