Title page?

Implementing notifications requires that we register users' devices with registration IDs.

For now, we can just put it in MainActivity. However, I think it would be fun to have a pretty title screen because a) I know we can do a pretty title screen and b) it might be nice to have a place to do such initialization in a title screen activity.

If we have time, I think it might be fun to put descriptive initialization messages like:
"Registering your device with GCM for update notifications...OK"
"GET http://hackthenorth-app.firebaseio.com...OK"
"PUSH http://hackthenorth-app.firebaseio.com/devices/android...OK"
just because our audience might appreciate that :)

You don't need to save the ids. Push notifications just push. The user id
stuff is to issue notifications to specific users. I don't think we need
this?

Is there a mechanism by which we can push notifications to every user of our app? I thought we had to register each user with GCM, keep track of their registration ID, and then issue bulk updates for every notification.
