The nma platform uses [Notify My Android (NMA)](http://www.notifymyandroid.com/) to delivery notifications from Home Assistant to your Android device.

To add NMA to your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:

```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
notify:
  name: NOTIFIER_NAME
  platform: nma
  api_key: ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVXYZ
```

Configuration variables:

- **name** (*Optional*): Setting the optional parameter `name` allows multiple notifiers to be created. The default value is `notify`. The notifier will bind to the service `notify.NOTIFIER_NAME`.
- **api_key** (*Required*): Enter the API key for NMA. Go to https://www.notifymyandroid.com and create a new API key.

Details for the API : https://www.notifymyandroid.com/api.jsp

To use notifications, please see the [getting started with automation page](/getting-started/automation/).
