Hi Brijesh and thanks for reaching out!
Group push allows admins to take existing groups and their memberships in Okta, and push them to provisioning-enabled, third-party applications. These memberships are then mastered by Okta. The most important concept to understand in pushing groups is that pushed groups are managed from Okta. Making changes from the target app causes a misalignment with Okta and a number of problems.
By application groups I understand that you are referring most probably to groups imported from applications like Box, G Suite, Office 365 or others. That way, you'll bring the groups from those apps into Okta managing only users imported from that application.
Best Regards,
Tudor
