# PushType

The structure that offers constants you use to configure a Live Activity to receive updates through ActivityKit push notifications.

## Declaration

```swift
struct PushType
```

## Overview

Overview Pass the token constant to the request(attributes:contentState:pushType:) function to start a Live Activity that receives content updates with ActivityKit push notifications. Pass channel(_:) to request(attributes:contentState:pushType:) function to specify that you want to use a broadcast channel instead of a token. You can only specify one PushType. To learn more about using ActivityKit push notifications to update your Live Activity, see Starting and updating Live Activities with ActivityKit push notifications.
