If you are looking for the easiest way to set up Push Notifications, look at UrbanAirship. I didn't want to go through the process of settings up a push notification server and since I don't send a lot of push notifications, Urban Airship is free. It also takes a lot of the hassle out of the development since they have well documented APIs as well as step by step instructions for settings up your certificates with Apple.

API documentation — Urban Airship documentation

Basic steps:
Add push notification to your provisioning profiles
Download certs
Add to keychain
Export .p12
Upload to Urban Airship
Add Urban Airship SDK to app
Set Secret App keys
Test
Done
