In the management console, select the folder you want to create a notification channel in.
From the list of services, select Cloud Notification Service.
Click Create notifications channel.
Select the Push notifications in browser tab.
Optionally, under Logging, enable Write logs.
1. In the Folder list, select the folder the log group will reside in.
2. In the Log group field, select an existing log group or create a new one.
Enter a name for your notification channel. The channel name must be unique within Cloud Notification Service.
Optionally, click Add description and enter a description for your notification channel.
Click Create.

If you do not have the AWS CLI yet, install and configure it.
Run this command:
```
aws sns create-platform-application \
--name <channel_name> \
--platform "WEB" \
--attributes "{}"
```
Where --name is a user-defined name for the notification channel.

For more information about the aws sns create-platform-application command, see the AWS documentation.

If you do not have the AWS SDK for Python (boto3) yet, install and configure it.

To create a push notification channel, use the following code:

try:
 response = client.create_platform_application(
   Name="<channel_name>",
   Platform="WEB",
   Attributes={},
 )
 print(f'PlatformApplication ARN: {response["PlatformApplicationArn"]}')

except botocore.exceptions.ClientError as error:
 print(f"Error: {error}")

If you do not have the AWS SDK for PHP yet, install and configure it.

To create a push notification channel, use the following code:

$response = $client->createPlatformApplication(
  [
    'Name' => '<channel_name>',
    'Platform' => 'WEB',
    'Attributes' => [],
  ]
);
print('PlatformApplication ARN: ' . $response->get('PlatformApplicationArn'));

If you do not have the AWS SDK for JavaScript yet, install and configure it.

To create a push notification channel, use the following code:

try {
  const response = await client.send(
    new AWS.CreatePlatformApplicationCommand({
      Name: "<channel_name>",
      Platform: "WEB",
    }),
  );
  console.log("PlatformApplication ARN:", response["PlatformApplicationArn"]);
} catch (e) {
  console.log("Error:", e)
}

Use the create HTTP API method for the PlatformApplications resource in Yandex Cloud Notification Service.

Creating a notification channel may take some time. After you create your channel, create an endpoint.
