# Firebase vs Google Play

### Is the Google Firebase account for notifications different from the one for Google Play?

Yes, your Google Firebase account used for push notifications is different from the Google Play account used for publishing your app.

* [**Google Play Console**:](/app/download/android/create-google-developer-account.md) Required to publish and manage your Android app on the Play Store.
* [**Google Firebase**:](/app/notifications/basic-notifications/create-firebase-project.md) Required to enable and manage push notifications for your app.

You must set up both accounts separately to successfully publish your app and send notifications.
