Warning: This example was created for the NFC implementation provided on Series 40 devices, and may include use of features not yet available for NFC on Symbian devices.

Example of registering and launching MIDlet using NFC push registry and getting event of the tag that launched the MIDlet. Note that push registration can also be done in JAD file.
