Send push notification via parse to your iphone as a test

I implemented parse push notifications in my project and I tested it out with a test code. In viewController: 

var push = PFPush()
       push.setMessage("This is a test")
        push.sendPushInBackgroundWithBlock({
            (isSuccesful: Bool!, error: NSError!) -> Void in

            println(isSuccesful)

        })

and in the appDelegate: 

func application(application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [NSObject: AnyObject]?) -> Bool {
    // Here is the code for parse Push notifications. 
    Parse.setApplicationId("oIqRHQ8SBqLiuFzU5fIXRKgMVTHrH4ft6Gat7BW7", clientKey: "zPJ5SpDRFg9IqgiWZmW0N3FumzEwSDK1YvPxsipl")
    var pushSettings: UIUserNotificationSettings = UIUserNotificationSettings(forTypes: .Alert, categories: nil)
    application.registerUserNotificationSettings(pushSettings)
    application.registerForRemoteNotifications()


    // Override point for customization after application launch.
    return true
}

func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {
    println("succesful")
}

func application(application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: NSError) {
    println("failed :(")
}

When I launch the app, it prints successful and true. Also, on the parse.com website I can see the notifications were send. However, why can't I send a notification to my phone using the parse website? When I try to do that, it says there are no registered devices. But I did register my device (with the .p12 certificate).

What could solve this?

I guess what you forgot is to save the deviceToken for your installation on parse. Try this:

func application(application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: NSData) {        
    PFInstallation.currentInstallation().setDeviceTokenFromData(deviceToken)
    PFInstallation.currentInstallation().saveInBackgroundWithBlock() { (success, error) in
        if error != nil {
            println("Saving failed")
        }

        if success {
            println("Saved the new device push token to parse successfully")
        }
    }
}
