# Enable Task Notifications in Lightning Experience

With task notifications, your reps remember the things on their to-do lists.

For your reps to receive reminders, you must enable Universal Notification Service (UNS). UNS is used for notifications in the Lightning Experience notification bell and is enabled by default.

1. From Setup, select **Object Manager**.
2. Click **Task**.
3. Open an existing task layout or create one.
4. Add the **Reminder Set** field to your Task Detail section of our org’s Task page layouts.
5. Deselect **Show simpler New Task form on mobile** on the Activity Settings page. The simpler New Task form doesn’t include the options for creating task notifications.
    
    Push notifications and reminders in the notification tray aren’t supported in the Salesforce mobile app. While reps can set and change notification settings in the Salesforce mobile app, they don’t receive notifications in it.
