You don't do anything to get MAP support — it's tied in to the push notification system. Any notification will get sent over MAP to any paired Bluetooth devices that implement it. (I think if they have a MAP paired device, the user can set which apps send MAP in notification settings.)

There are apparently some bugs at the moment, according to the Pebble team — sometimes you have to toggle the notifications switch for each app off then on again before it starts pushing them.
