Everything starts with `Device A` willing to register with some Notification Service Provider. To do so, it sends/broadcasts discovery request:

Once that request is sent all capable wnodes respond back, so we need to watch for their responses, and select one provider (generally FIFO). To watch:
```js
var proposeServerTopic = '0x08e3d8c0'; // PROPOSE_NOTIFICATION_SERVER
var watchProposeServerResponses = function (identity) {
// some notification servers will be able to serve, so they will send encrypted (to you)
// message, with a PROPOSE_NOTIFICATION_SERVER topic (for which we wait)
var filter = web3.shh.filter({
to: identity, // wait for anon. messages to ourselves
topics: [proposeServerTopic]
});
filter.watch(function (error, result) {
if (!error) {
console.log("Server proposal received: ", result);
// response will be in JSON, e.g. {"server": "0x81f34abd0df038e01a8f9c04bee7ce92925b7240e334dc8f2400dea7a2a6d829678be8b40e1d9b9988e25960552eafe2df7f928188e4143ba657a699519c438d"}

var payload = JSON.parse(web3.toAscii(result.payload));
// no need to watch for the filter any more
filter.stopWatching();
// accept (in FIFO order) the server
// we need to make sure that only a single server is selected,
// as you will receive multiple proposals for different servers,
// and may accept more that one of those proposals (which will
// result in duplicate notifications)
sendAcceptServerRequest(identity, payload.server);
}

};
watchProposeServerResponses(identity);
```
Now, whenever we receive server proposal and willing to accept it, `sendAcceptServerRequest()` message needs to be broadcasted (so that server knows we have selected it):
