# 2. Configuration

## iOS Configuration

### Project Settings

Complete the steps in the iOS [Project Settings](/a-complete-integration/ios-sdk/project-settings.md) page.

### Permissions

Set up the required permissions for iOS, as outlined in the [Permissions](/a-complete-integration/ios-sdk/7.-permissions.md) page.

## Android Configuration

### Permissions

Set up the required permissions for Android, as outlined in the [Permissions](/a-complete-integration/android-sdk/permissions.md) page.

### Customize the Notification

When the Sentiance SDK runs in the background, it initiates a foreground service and provides a notification to Android, which is displayed to the user while the service is active. To customize this notification, you can make changes in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file.

By customizing the notification in the `AndroidManifest.xml` file, you can tailor the appearance and behavior of the notification to match the branding and user experience of your application. This allows you to provide a seamless and consistent experience to your users while the Sentiance SDK operates in the background.

Please note that customizing the notification should be done carefully to ensure that it complies with Android guidelines and user preferences. By doing so, you can enhance the overall user experience and maintain a cohesive presentation of your app and the Sentiance SDK's background functionality.

{% code title="AndroidManifest.xml" %}

```markup
<application ...>
