Update Config.xml

<widget android-packageName="co.acoustic.mobile.push.samples.android" id="co.acoustic.mobile.push.sample" ios-CFBundleIdentifier="INSERT.BUNDLE.ID.HERE" version="3.9.16"
	xmlns="http://www.w3.org/ns/widgets"
	xmlns:cdv="http://cordova.apache.org/ns/1.0">
	<name>Sample</name>

Go to applications/samples/Sample/config.xml and modify the following:

change the widget node’s android-packageName value to your preferred Android package name.
