Parse.com how to enable client pushes - parse-platform

Question

I'm targeting specific users when sending Parse notifications, using their email address. The send seems to work okay, but no message is received. What do I need to change to receive the message?
In my Parse control panel it shows the attempted pushes but with the error message that "client-initiated pushes are not enabled". I really prefer initiating the pushes from the client. How do I enable that? I keep finding documentation that says to enable client pushes but I can't find how to do it.
Here is my setup:
Parse.initialize(this, "...xxxAPP_ID", "...xxxCLIENT_KEY");
PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, MainActivity.class);
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
ParseObject parseObject = new ParseObject("defaultObject");
parseObject.put("email", sEmail)
parseObject.saveInBackground();
The actually sending is done here:
ParseQuery pQuery = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
pQuery.whereEqualTo("email", ToUser);
ParsePush parsePush = new ParsePush();
parsePush.setQuery(pQuery);
parsePush.sendMessageInBackground("You have pictures waiting from " + sEmail, pQuery);

Update: I have narrowed the problem down to push notifications being received unless the service is not running. I thought the Parse service was supposed to load when the phone restarts, but this is not the case here. Is there a way to get the Parse service for my app to load when the phone reboots?
Update2:
The solution was to create a separate class (called "App" in my case) which initializes Parse. If the Parse service gets shut down when the app closes, the service restarts itself within minutes (automatically, I did no special setup for this) to be able to receive incoming push messages. These are the lines of code used in "App" onCreate:
Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);
Parse.initialize(this, "data1", "data2"); //supply your own
PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, MainActivity.class);
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();

Answer 1

Have you enable Sending notifications from Client. Its a setting in Parse.com.
Go to settings ->App Permissions ->Allow client class creation. Set it to ON>

Answer 2

In your parse application Go to settings > Push > Client Push Enabled > set to Yes

Answer 3

The question Is there a way to get the Parse service for my app to load when the phone reboots? : Yes you can receive the BOOT_COMPLETE event if you have added the following permission on your manifest.
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"></uses-permission>

Answer 4

In the new Parse DashBoard: go to settings---> push ---> push notification settings---> client enabled push --- >set to "yes"
