I am writing an Xamarin.forms based app which is currently running on android platform. It is the first time I need to use push-notifications. I followed a guide from microsoft (https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/xamarin/android/data-cloud/google-messaging/remote-notifications-with-fcm?tabs=vswin)") to implement the notifications.
The target android version is 8.1 API 27. The app runs on a Samsung tab active 2, which has android 8.1.
I configured the app as seen in the tutorial. I push the messages through a defined channel and this channel is subscribed in the app. The messages are pushed by a server which triggers the rest call for the FCM api. The first day I did some tests the transmission worked very good and I would say it was (nearly) reliable.
The next day I implemented some other features and wanted to test the push notifications again. Then: I was very confused, the most messages were not delivered or VERY VERY late. I am not sure if all messages were transmitted, there went may be some lost.
For me the FCM service is a big blackbox where I can delegate some work and then I need to hope that the messages will be transmitted. I am very confused now.
I paste here some code, but it is nearly what you can find in the tutorial:
My Questions:
What can I do? Is there something to get some more information from the FCM what my messages are currently doing? Or are there some problems with the code?
This is run in the mainActivity:
if (this.IsPlayServicesAvailable())
{
// Creates a notification channel
this.CreateNotificationChannel();
//Console.WriteLine("InstanceID token: " + FirebaseInstanceId.Instance.Token);
// Subscribe to notification token
FirebaseMessaging.Instance.SubscribeToTopic("channel");
Log.Debug(TAG, "Subscribed to remote notifications");
}
This checks if the channel can be created and creates it: (is called in the mainActivity)
private void CreateNotificationChannel()
{
// The app is not running on Android 8.0 or higher
if (Build.VERSION.SdkInt < BuildVersionCodes.O)
{
// Notification channels are new in API 26 (and not a part of the
// support library). There is no need to create a notification
// channel on older versions of Android.
return;
}
// Create a notification channel for publishing notifications
var channel = new NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, "FCM Notifications", NotificationImportance.Default)
{
Description = "Firebase Cloud Messages appear in this channel"
};
var notificationManager = (NotificationManager)GetSystemService(Android.Content.Context.NotificationService);
notificationManager.CreateNotificationChannel(channel);
}
This checks if playServices are available: (also called in mainActivity)
public bool IsPlayServicesAvailable()
{
int resultCode = GoogleApiAvailability.Instance.IsGooglePlayServicesAvailable(this);
if (resultCode != ConnectionResult.Success)
{
if (GoogleApiAvailability.Instance.IsUserResolvableError(resultCode))
{
Log.Debug(TAG, GoogleApiAvailability.Instance.GetErrorString(resultCode));
}
else
{
Log.Debug(TAG, "This device has no compatible Google Play services APK - Download an APK from the Google Play Store or to enable it in the device's system settings!");
Finish();
}
return false;
}
else
{
Log.Debug(TAG, "Google Play Services are available.");
return true;
}
}
The last snipped is the service to handle a notification and inform the user:
[Service]
[IntentFilter(new[] { "com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" })]
public class CustomFirebaseMessagingService : FirebaseMessagingService
{
// Logging Tag
private static readonly string TAG = "CustomFirebaseMessagingService";
/* Handles data messages and notifications messages if the app is in foreground.
*
* Apps only have 10 seconds in which to handle an incoming Firebase Cloud Message.
* Any work that takes longer than this should be scheduled for background execution using a library such as the 'Android Job Scheduler' or the 'Firebase Job Dispatcher'.
*
*/
public override void OnMessageReceived(RemoteMessage message)
{
Log.Debug(TAG, "Message from: " + message.From);
// If the message data payload is not empty, display a notification
if (message.Data.Count > 0)
{
Log.Debug(TAG, "Data Payload: " + message.Data.ToString());
this.SendNotification(message.Data);
}
}
// Converts the incoming FCM message into a local notification
private void SendNotification(IDictionary<string, string> data)
{
Console.WriteLine("Push Message received");
var intent = new Intent(this, typeof(MainActivity));
intent.AddFlags(ActivityFlags.ClearTop);
if (data.TryGetValue("message", out string message))
{
foreach (var key in data.Keys)
{
intent.PutExtra(key, data[key]);
}
var pendingIntent = PendingIntent.GetActivity(this, MainActivity.NOTIFICATION_ID, intent, PendingIntentFlags.OneShot);
var notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this, MainActivity.CHANNEL_ID)
.SetSmallIcon(Resource.Drawable.NotificationIcon)
.SetContentTitle("TITEL")
.SetContentText(message)
.SetAutoCancel(true)
.SetContentIntent(pendingIntent);
var notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.From(this);
notificationManager.Notify(MainActivity.NOTIFICATION_ID, notificationBuilder.Build());
}
}
}
Using the Notifications REST API and JavaScript, we are subscribing our Progressive Web App through FCM and then calling the registrations endpoint to register on our ANH
The registration completes fine and we can see the registration on our hub with the correct platform and a populated PNS Identifier
When we attempt to send a test message to all registered devices, we get the following error in ANH
The token obtained from the token provider is wrong
We have tried sending the entire endpoint object returned by Firebase, just the subscriptionId and various other combinations
Does the error message mean that we have subscribed using the wrong key pair or is the format of the token incorrect? There is nowhere that shows an example of what the GcmRegistrationId format should be when registering with the registrations endpoint
You can use below approach to register your Devices:
In case of GCM follow this approach:
use Nuget package for Notification Hubs.
For DeviceRegistration.cs
public class DeviceRegistration
{
public string Platform { get; set; }
public string Handle { get; set; }
public string[] Tags { get; set; }
}
For NotificationClient.cs
using Microsoft.Azure.NotificationHubs; // Namespace to be used
// Use below method to get registrationID
public async Task<string> GetRegistrationID(NotificationHubClient Hub, string handle = null)
{
string newRegistrationId = null;
// make sure there are no existing registrations for this push handle (used for iOS and Android)
if (handle != null)
{
var registrations = await Hub.GetRegistrationsByChannelAsync(handle, 100);
foreach (RegistrationDescription registration in registrations)
{
if (newRegistrationId == null)
{
newRegistrationId = registration.RegistrationId;
}
else
{
await Hub.DeleteRegistrationAsync(registration);
}
}
}
if (newRegistrationId == null)
newRegistrationId = await Hub.CreateRegistrationIdAsync();
return newRegistrationId;
}
// Use below method to upsert registration to azure
public async Task UpsertRegistration(string registrationid, DeviceRegistration deviceUpdate, NotificationHubClient Hub)
{
string[] tags = { "abc","def" }; // These are used to send notifications
DeviceRegistration deviceRegistration = new DeviceRegistration
{
Handle = newDeviceToken, // Device token given by Firebase
Platform = "gcm", // Specify gcm for android and "apns" for ios
Tags = tags
};
RegistrationDescription registration
= new GcmRegistrationDescription(deviceRegistration.Handle);
registration.RegistrationId = registrationid;
// add check if user is allowed to add these tags
registration.Tags = new HashSet<string>();
foreach (string tag in deviceUpdate.Tags)
{
registration.Tags.Add(tag);
}
await Hub.CreateOrUpdateRegistrationAsync(registration);
}
Here is my manifest:
<service android:name=".fcm.PshycoFirebaseMessagingServices">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<service android:name=".fcm.PshycoFirebaseInstanceIDService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
When the app is in the background and a notification arrives, then the default notification comes and doesn't run my code of onMessageReceived.
Here is my onMessageReceived code. This is invoked if my app is running on the foreground, not when it is running in the background. How can I run this code when the app is in background too?
// [START receive_message]
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
// TODO(developer): Handle FCM messages here.
// If the application is in the foreground handle both data and notification messages here.
// Also if you intend on generating your own notifications as a result of a received FCM
// message, here is where that should be initiated. See sendNotification method below.
data = remoteMessage.getData();
String title = remoteMessage.getNotification().getTitle();
String message = remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody();
String imageUrl = (String) data.get("image");
String action = (String) data.get("action");
Log.i(TAG, "onMessageReceived: title : "+title);
Log.i(TAG, "onMessageReceived: message : "+message);
Log.i(TAG, "onMessageReceived: imageUrl : "+imageUrl);
Log.i(TAG, "onMessageReceived: action : "+action);
if (imageUrl == null) {
sendNotification(title,message,action);
} else {
new BigPictureNotification(this,title,message,imageUrl,action);
}
}
// [END receive_message]
1. Why is this happening?
There are two types of messages in FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging):
Display Messages: These messages trigger the onMessageReceived() callback only when your app is in foreground
Data Messages: Theses messages trigger the onMessageReceived() callback even if your app is in foreground/background/killed
NOTE: Firebase team have not developed a UI to send data-messages to
your devices, yet. You should use your server for sending this type!
2. How to?
To achieve this, you have to perform a POST request to the following URL:
POST https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
Headers
Key: Content-Type, Value: application/json
Key: Authorization, Value: key=<your-server-key>
Body using topics
{
"to": "/topics/my_topic",
"data": {
"my_custom_key": "my_custom_value",
"my_custom_key2": true
}
}
Or if you want to send it to specific devices
{
"data": {
"my_custom_key": "my_custom_value",
"my_custom_key2": true
},
"registration_ids": ["{device-token}","{device2-token}","{device3-token}"]
}
NOTE: Be sure you're not adding JSON key notification
NOTE: To get your server key, you can find it in the firebase console: Your project -> settings -> Project settings -> Cloud messaging -> Server Key
3. How to handle the push notification message?
This is how you handle the received message:
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Map<String, String> data = remoteMessage.getData();
String myCustomKey = data.get("my_custom_key");
// Manage data
}
To make firebase library to call your onMessageReceived() in the following cases
App in foreground
App in background
App has been killed
you must not put JSON key notification in your request to Firebase API but instead, use data, see below.
The following message will not call your onMessageReceived() when your app is in the background or killed, and you can't customize your notification.
{
"to": "/topics/journal",
"notification": {
"title" : "title",
"text": "data!",
"icon": "ic_notification"
}
}
but instead using this will work
{
"to": "/topics/dev_journal",
"data": {
"text":"text",
"title":"",
"line1":"Journal",
"line2":"刊物"
}
}
Basically, the message is sent in the argument RemoteMessage along with your data object as Map<String, String>, then you can manage the notification in onMessageReceived as in the snippet here
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Map<String, String> data = remoteMessage.getData();
//you can get your text message here.
String text= data.get("text");
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
// optional, this is to make beautiful icon
.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(
getResources(), R.mipmap.ic_launcher))
.setSmallIcon(smallIcon) //mandatory
.......
/*You can read more on notification here:
https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/build-notification.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-iog_fmm6mE
*/
}
I feel like all the responses are incomplete but all of them have something that you need to process a notification that has data when your app is in the background.
Follow these steps and you will be able to process your notifications when your app is in the background.
Add an intent-filter like this:
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=".MainActivity" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
to an activity that you want to process the notification data.
Send notifications with the next format:
{
"notification" : {
"click_action" : ".MainActivity",
"body" : "new Symulti update !",
"title" : "new Symulti update !",
"icon" : "ic_notif_symulti" },
"data": { ... },
"to" : "c9Vaa3ReGdk:APA91bH-AuXgg3lDN2WMcBrNhJZoFtYF9" }
The key here is add
"click_action" : ".MainActivity"
where .MainActivity is the activity with the intent-filter that you added in step 1.
Get data info from notification in the onCreate of .MainActivity:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
//get notification data info
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
//bundle must contain all info sent in "data" field of the notification
}
}
And that should be all you need to do.
According to the firebase documentation in send downstream using firebase, there is 2 type of payload :
data
This parameter specifies the custom key-value pairs of the message's payload.
Client app is responsible for processing data messages. Data messages have only custom key-value pairs.
notification
This parameter specifies the predefined, user-visible key-value pairs of the notification payload. FCM automatically displays the message to end-user devices on behalf of the client app. Notification messages have a predefined set of user-visible keys.
When you are in the foreground you can get the data inside FCM using onMessageReceived(), you can get your data from data payload.
data = remoteMessage.getData();
String customData = (String) data.get("customData");
When you are in background, FCM will showing notification in system tray based on the info from notification payload. Title, message, and icon which used for the notification on system tray are get from the notification payload.
{
"notification": {
"title" : "title",
"body" : "body text",
"icon" : "ic_notification",
"click_action" : "OPEN_ACTIVITY_1"
}
}
This notification payload are used when you want to automactically showing notification on the system tray when your app is in the background.
To get notification data when your app in the background, you should add click_action inside notification payload.
If you want to open your app and perform a specific action [while backgrounded], set click_action in the notification payload and map it to an intent filter in the Activity you want to launch. For example, set click_action to OPEN_ACTIVITY_1 to trigger an intent filter like the following:
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="OPEN_ACTIVITY_1" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
Put that intent-filter on your manifest, inside one of your activity tag. When you click the notification, it will open the app and go straight to activity that you define in click_action, in this case "OPEN_ACTIVTY_1".
And inside that activity you can get the data by :
Bundle b = getIntent().getExtras();
String someData = b.getString("someData");
I'm using FCM for my android app and use both of the payload.
Here is the example JSON i'm using :
{
"to": "FCM registration ID",
"notification": {
"title" : "title",
"body" : "body text",
"icon" : "ic_notification",
"click_action" : "OPEN_ACTIVITY_1"
},
"data": {
"someData" : "This is some data",
"someData2" : "etc"
}
}
Working as of July 2019
Android compileSdkVersion 28, buildToolsVersion 28.0.3 and firebase-messaging:19.0.1
After many many hours of researching through all of the other StackOverflow questions and answers, and trying innumerable outdated solutions, this solution managed to show notifications in these 3 scenarios:
- App is in foreground:
the notification is received by the onMessageReceived method at my MyFirebaseMessagingService class
- App has been killed (it is not running in background):
the notification is sent to the notification tray automatically by FCM. When the user touches the notification the app is launched by calling the activity that has android.intent.category.LAUNCHER in the manifest. You can get the data part of the notification by using getIntent().getExtras() at the onCreate() method.
- App is in background:
the notification is sent to the notification tray automatically by FCM. When the user touches the notification the app is brought to the foreground by launching the activity that has android.intent.category.LAUNCHER in the manifest. As my app has launchMode="singleTop" in that activity, the onCreate() method is not called because one activity of the same class is already created, instead the onNewIntent() method of that class is called and you get the data part of the notification there by using intent.getExtras().
Steps:
1- If you define your app's main activity like this:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:largeHeap="true"
android:screenOrientation="portrait"
android:launchMode="singleTop">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name=".MainActivity" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
2- add these lines at the onCreate() method of your MainActivity.class
Intent i = getIntent();
Bundle extras = i.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
for (String key : extras.keySet()) {
Object value = extras.get(key);
Log.d(Application.APPTAG, "Extras received at onCreate: Key: " + key + " Value: " + value);
}
String title = extras.getString("title");
String message = extras.getString("body");
if (message!=null && message.length()>0) {
getIntent().removeExtra("body");
showNotificationInADialog(title, message);
}
}
and these methods to the same MainActivity.class:
#Override
public void onNewIntent(Intent intent){
//called when a new intent for this class is created.
// The main case is when the app was in background, a notification arrives to the tray, and the user touches the notification
super.onNewIntent(intent);
Log.d(Application.APPTAG, "onNewIntent - starting");
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
if (extras != null) {
for (String key : extras.keySet()) {
Object value = extras.get(key);
Log.d(Application.APPTAG, "Extras received at onNewIntent: Key: " + key + " Value: " + value);
}
String title = extras.getString("title");
String message = extras.getString("body");
if (message!=null && message.length()>0) {
getIntent().removeExtra("body");
showNotificationInADialog(title, message);
}
}
}
private void showNotificationInADialog(String title, String message) {
// show a dialog with the provided title and message
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(this);
builder.setTitle(title);
builder.setMessage(message);
builder.setPositiveButton("OK", new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}
3- create the class MyFirebase like this:
package com.yourcompany.app;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.firebase.messaging.FirebaseMessagingService;
import com.google.firebase.messaging.RemoteMessage;
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
public MyFirebaseMessagingService() {
super();
}
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Log.d(Application.APPTAG, "myFirebaseMessagingService - onMessageReceived - message: " + remoteMessage);
Intent dialogIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationActivity.class);
dialogIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
dialogIntent.putExtra("msg", remoteMessage);
startActivity(dialogIntent);
}
}
4- create a new class NotificationActivity.class like this:
package com.yourcompany.app;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import androidx.appcompat.view.ContextThemeWrapper;
import com.google.firebase.messaging.RemoteMessage;
public class NotificationActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private Activity context;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
context = this;
Bundle extras = getIntent().getExtras();
Log.d(Application.APPTAG, "NotificationActivity - onCreate - extras: " + extras);
if (extras == null) {
context.finish();
return;
}
RemoteMessage msg = (RemoteMessage) extras.get("msg");
if (msg == null) {
context.finish();
return;
}
RemoteMessage.Notification notification = msg.getNotification();
if (notification == null) {
context.finish();
return;
}
String dialogMessage;
try {
dialogMessage = notification.getBody();
} catch (Exception e){
context.finish();
return;
}
String dialogTitle = notification.getTitle();
if (dialogTitle == null || dialogTitle.length() == 0) {
dialogTitle = "";
}
AlertDialog.Builder builder = new AlertDialog.Builder(new ContextThemeWrapper(context, R.style.myDialog));
builder.setTitle(dialogTitle);
builder.setMessage(dialogMessage);
builder.setPositiveButton(getResources().getString(R.string.accept), new DialogInterface.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int whichButton) {
dialog.cancel();
}
});
AlertDialog alert = builder.create();
alert.show();
}
}
5- Add these lines to your app Manifest, inside your tags
<service
android:name=".MyFirebaseMessagingService"
android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id" android:value="#string/default_notification_channel_id"/>
<activity android:name=".NotificationActivity"
android:theme="#style/myDialog"> </activity>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
android:resource="#drawable/notification_icon"/>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_color"
android:resource="#color/color_accent" />
6- add these lines in your Application.java onCreate() method, or in MainActivity.class onCreate() method:
// notifications channel creation
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
// Create channel to show notifications.
String channelId = getResources().getString("default_channel_id");
String channelName = getResources().getString("General announcements");
NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(new NotificationChannel(channelId,
channelName, NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_LOW));
}
Done.
Now for this to work well in the 3 mentioned scenarios, you have to send the notification from the Firebase web console in the following way:
In the Notification section:
Notification Title = Title to display in the notification dialog (optional)
Notification text = Message to show to the user (required)
Then in the Target section:
App = your Android app
and in Additional Options section:
Android Notification Channel = default_channel_id
Custom Data
key: title value: (same text here than in the Title field of the Notification section)
key: body value: (same text here than in the Message field of the Notification section)
key:click_action value: .MainActivity
Sound=Disabled
Expires=4 weeks
You can debug it in the Emulator with API 28 with Google Play.
Happy coding!
According to docs
Handle messages in a backgrounded app
When your app is in the background, Android directs notification
messages to the system tray. A user tap on the notification opens the
app launcher by default.
This includes messages that contain both notification and data
payload. In these cases, the notification is delivered to the device's
system tray, and the data payload is delivered in the extras of the
intent of your launcher Activity.
If you want to open your app and perform a specific action, set
click_action in the notification payload and map it to an intent
filter in the Activity you want to launch. For example, set
click_action to OPEN_ACTIVITY_1 to trigger an intent filter like the
following:
<intent-filter> <action android:name="OPEN_ACTIVITY_1" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
Edit :
Based on this thread :
You can't set click_action payload using Firebase Console. You could try testing with a curl command or a custom http server
curl --header "Authorization: key=<YOUR_KEY_GOES_HERE>"
--header Content-Type:"application/json" https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
-d "{\"to\":\"/topics/news\",\"notification\":
{\"title\": \"Click Action Message\",\"text\": \"Sample message\",
\"click_action\":\"OPEN_ACTIVITY_1\"}}"
To capture the message in background you need to use a BroadcastReceiver
import android.content.Context
import android.content.Intent
import android.util.Log
import androidx.legacy.content.WakefulBroadcastReceiver
import com.google.firebase.messaging.RemoteMessage
class FirebaseBroadcastReceiver : WakefulBroadcastReceiver() {
val TAG: String = FirebaseBroadcastReceiver::class.java.simpleName
override fun onReceive(context: Context, intent: Intent) {
val dataBundle = intent.extras
if (dataBundle != null)
for (key in dataBundle.keySet()) {
Log.d(TAG, "dataBundle: " + key + " : " + dataBundle.get(key))
}
val remoteMessage = RemoteMessage(dataBundle)
}
}
and add this to your manifest:
<receiver
android:name="MY_PACKAGE_NAME.FirebaseBroadcastReceiver"
android:exported="true"
android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
Since the display-messages which are sent from Firebase Notification UI only works if your app is in foreground. For data-messages, there is a need to make a POST call to FCM
Steps
Install Advanced Rest Client Google Chrome Extension
Add the following headers
Key: Content-Type, Value: application/json
Key: Authorization, Value: key="your server key"
Add the body
If using topics :
{
"to" : "/topics/topic_name",
"data": {
"key1" : "value1",
"key2" : "value2",
}
}
If using registration id :
{
"registration_ids" : "[{"id"},{id1}]",
"data": {
"key1" : "value1",
"key2" : "value2",
}
}
Thats it!. Now listen to onMessageReceived callback as usual.
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Map<String, String> data = remoteMessage.getData();
String value1 = data.get("key1");
String value2 = data.get("key2");
}
According to the docs: May 17, 2017
When your app is in the background, Android
directs notification messages to the system tray. A user tap on the
notification opens the app launcher by default.
This includes messages that contain both notification and data payload
(and all messages sent from the Notifications console). In these
cases, the notification is delivered to the device's system tray, and
the data payload is delivered in the extras of the intent of your
launcher Activity.
So,you should use both of the payload notification + data:
{
"to": "FCM registration ID",
"notification": {
"title" : "title",
"body" : "body text",
"icon" : "ic_notification"
},
"data": {
"someData" : "This is some data",
"someData2" : "etc"
}
}
There is no need to use click_action.You should just get exras from intent on LAUNCHER activity
<activity android:name=".MainActivity">
<intent-filter>
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Java code should be on onCreate method on MainActivity :
Intent intent = getIntent();
if (intent != null && intent.getExtras() != null) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String someData= extras.getString("someData");
String someData2 = extras.getString("someData2");
}
You can test both of the payload notification + data from Firebase Notifications Console . Don't forget to fill custom data fields on Advanced options section
Here is more clear concepts about firebase message. I found it from their support team.
Firebase has three message types:
Notification messages : Notification message works on background or foreground. When app is in background, Notification messages are delivered to the system tray. If the app is in the foreground, messages are handled by onMessageReceived() or didReceiveRemoteNotification callbacks. These are essentially what is referred to as Display messages.
Data messages: On Android platform, data message can work on background and foreground. The data message will be handled by onMessageReceived(). A platform specific note here would be: On Android, the data payload can be retrieved in the Intent used to launch your activity. To elaborate, if you have "click_action":"launch_Activity_1", you can retrieve this intent through getIntent() from only Activity_1.
Messages with both notification and data payloads: When in the background, apps receive the notification payload in the notification tray, and only handle the data payload when the user taps on the notification. When in the foreground, your app receives a message object with both payloads available. Secondly, the click_action parameter is often used in notification payload and not in data payload. If used inside data payload, this parameter would be treated as custom key-value pair and therefore you would need to implement custom logic for it to work as intended.
Also, I recommend you to use onMessageReceived method (see Data message) to extract the data bundle. From your logic, I checked the bundle object and haven't found expected data content. Here is a reference to a similar case which might provide more clarity.
For more info visit my this thread
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
}
is not called every time it is called only when app is in forground
there is one override method this method is called every time , no matter what app is in foreground or in background or killed but this method is available with this firebase api version
this is the version u have to import from gradle
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:10.2.1'
this is the method
#Override
public void handleIntent(Intent intent) {
super.handleIntent(intent);
// you can get ur data here
//intent.getExtras().get("your_data_key")
}
with previous firebase api this method was not there so in that case
fire base handle itself when app is in background .... now u have this method
what ever u want to do ... u can do it here in this method .....
if you are using previous version than default activity will start
in that case u can get data same way
if(getIntent().getExtras() != null && getIntent().getExtras().get("your_data_key") != null) {
String strNotificaiton = getIntent().getExtras().get("your_data_key").toString();
// do what ever u want ....
}
generally this is the structure from server we get in notification
{
"notification": {
"body": "Cool offers. Get them before expiring!",
"title": "Flat 80% discount",
"icon": "appicon",
"click_action": "activity name" //optional if required.....
},
"data": {
"product_id": 11,
"product_details": "details.....",
"other_info": "......."
}
}
it's up to u how u want to give that data key or u want give notification anything u can give .......
what ever u will give here with same key u will get that data .........
there are few cases if u r not sending click action in that case when u will click on notification default activity will open , but if u want to open your specific activity when app is in background u can call your activity from this on handleIntent method because this is called every time
Simple summary like this
if your app is running;
onMessageReceived()
is triggers.
if your app is not running (killed by swiping) ;
onMessageReceived()
is not triggered and delivered by direclty. If you have any specialy key-value pair. They don' t work beacuse of onMessageReceived() not working.
I' ve found this way;
In your launcher activity, put this logic,
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState, R.layout.activity_splash);
if (getIntent().getExtras() != null && getIntent().getExtras().containsKey("PACKAGE_NAME")) {
// do what you want
// and this for killing app if we dont want to start
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
} else {
//continue to app
}
}
in this if block, search for your keys according to firebase UI.
In this example my key and value like above; (sorry for language =))
When my code works, i get "com.rda.note".
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());
with this line of code, i closed my application and open Google Play Market
happy coding =)
2017 updated answer
Here is a clear-cut answer from the docs regarding this:
I figured out the scenarios,
When app is in foreground,
onMessageReceived() method is called from the FirebaseService.So the pendingIntent defined in the service class will be called.
And when app is in background, first activity is called.
Now, if you use a splash activity, then must keep in mind the splashactivity will be called, else if there is no splashActivity, then whatever the first activity is, will be called.
Then you need to check getIntent() of the firstActivity to see if it has any bundle .if everything is alright you will see bundle is there with values filled in. If the value in data tag sent from server looks like this,
"data": {
"user_name": "arefin sajib",
"value": "user name notification"
}
Then in the first activity, you will see,
there is a valid intent( getIntent() is not null) , valid bundle and inside bundle , there will the whole JSON mentioned above with data as key.
For this scenario, code for extraction of value will look like this,
if(getIntent()!=null){
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
try {
JSONObject object = new JSONObject(bundle.getStringExtra("data"));
String user_name = object.optString("user_name");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I had same problem. After some digging why my MainActivity is called with intent without data I realized that my LAUNCHER activity (as in Manifest) is SplashActivity. There I found the message data and forwarded them to MainActivity. Works like sharm. I beleive this can help someone.
Thanks for all another answers.
Remove notification payload completely from your server request. Send only data and handle it in onMessageReceived(), otherwise your onMessageReceived will not be triggered when the app is in background or killed.
Here is what I am sending from server:
{
"data":{
"id": 1,
"missedRequests": 5
"addAnyDataHere": 123
},
"to": "fhiT7evmZk8:APA91bFJq7Tkly4BtLRXdYvqHno2vHCRkzpJT8QZy0TlIGs......"
}
So you can receive your data in onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage message) like this: (let's say I have to get the id)
Object obj = message.getData().get("id");
if (obj != null) {
int id = Integer.valueOf(obj.toString());
}
And similarly you can get any data which you have sent from server within onMessageReceived().
Thanks to All of you for your Answers. But I solved this by sending data message instead of sending Notification.
Server code
<?php
$url = "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send";
$token = "C-l6T_a7HouUK****";
$serverKey = "AAAAaOcKS00:********";
define( 'API_ACCESS_KEY', $serverKey );
$registrationIds = array($token);
// prep the bundle
$msg = array
(
'message' => 'here is a message. message',
'title' => 'This is a title. title',
'subtitle' => 'This is a subtitle. subtitle',
'tickerText' => 'Ticker text here...Ticker text here...Ticker text
here',
'vibrate' => 1,
'sound' => 1,
'largeIcon' => 'large_icon',
'smallIcon' => 'small_icon'
);
$fields = array
(
'registration_ids' => $registrationIds,
'data' => $msg
);
$headers = array
(
'Authorization: key=' . API_ACCESS_KEY,
'Content-Type: application/json'
);
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_URL, 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send'
);
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode( $fields ) );
$result = curl_exec($ch );
curl_close( $ch );
echo $result;
?>
And caught the Data in onMessageReceived
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseMsgService";
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Log.d(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
// Check if message contains a data payload.
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
sendNotification(remoteMessage.getData().get("message"));
}
// Check if message contains a notification payload.
else if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
sendNotification(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
}
private void sendNotification(String messageBody) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, Notify.class).putExtra("msg",messageBody);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
String channelId = "idddd";
Uri defaultSoundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(MyFirebaseMessagingService.this)
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("FCM Message")
.setContentText(messageBody)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSound(defaultSoundUri)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
}
}
In general
There are two types of messages in FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging):
Display Messages: These messages trigger the onMessageReceived() callback only when your app is in foreground
Data Messages: Theses messages trigger the onMessageReceived() callback even if your app is in foreground/background/killed
Data Messages example:
{
"to": "/path",
"data":
{
"my_custom_key": "my_custom_value",
"my_custom_key2": true
}
}
Display Messages example:
{
"notification": {
"title" : "title",
"body" : "body text",
"icon" : "ic_notification",
"click_action" : "OPEN_ACTIVITY_1"
}
}
Android side can handle notifications like:
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
…
#Override public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage){
Map<String, String> data = remoteMessage.getData();
String myCustomKey = data.get("my_custom_key");
}
…
}
More details about FCM you can find here : Set up a Firebase Cloud Messaging client app on Android
I added the following code in the firebase-messaging-sw.js,
messaging.onBackgroundmessage((payload)=>{
console.log("background message detected!!");
console.log("message : ", payload);
})
this was triggered every time message received in background. but I was unable to use the payload in the main thread as SW didn't supported it. so then I researched a lot and found a solution in an Android forum.
so the solution is that we will have to remove the notification payload from the request payload.
so I changed my payload from
{
"notification": {
"title": "Hey there",
"body": "Subscribe to AMAL MOHAN N youtube channel"
},
"to": "your-browser-token",
"data": {
"value1": "text",
"value2": "",
"value3": "sample3",
"value4": "sample4"
}
}
to
{
"to": "your-browser-token",
"data": {
"value1": "text",
"value2": "",
"value3": "sample3",
"value4": "sample4"
}
}
change in the payload automatically made the receiveMessage() trigger in foreground messages as well as background messages.
I found this in an Android forum and this worked for me! please let me know if this works for you.
The easy way to send messages even if the app is in background and foreground as follow:-
To send a message using API, you can use a tool called AdvancedREST Client, its a chrome extension, and send a message with the following parameters.
Rest client tool Link: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/advanced-rest-client/hgmloofddffdnphfgcellkdfbfbjeloo
use this url:- https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
Content-Type:application/json
Authorization:key=Your Server key From or Authoization key(see below ref)
{ "data": {
"image": "https://static.pexels.com/photos/4825/red-love-romantic-flowers.jpg",
"message": "Firebase Push Message Using API"
"AnotherActivity": "True"
},
"to" : "device id Or Device token"
}
Authorization key can be obtained by visiting Google developers console and click on Credentials button on the left menu for your project. Among the API keys listed, the server key will be your authorization key.
And you need to put tokenID of the receiver in the “to” section of your POST request sent using API.
you want to work onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) in background send only data part notification part this:
"data": "image": "", "message": "Firebase Push Message Using API",
"AnotherActivity": "True", "to" : "device id Or Device token"
By this onMessageRecivied is call background and foreground no need to handle notification using notification tray on your launcher activity.
Handle data payload in using this:
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage)
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0)
Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
The solutions provided didn't work in my case.
At the end of the day, I figured out that some battery optimization apps give users the control to allow or block apps from sending notifications. In my case it was Samsung's Smart Manager that was automatically blocking my app as soon as it was killed/cleaned from the recents list.
Turning off that feature for my app was the only solution I could find.
To be able to retrieve data from firebase notification sent when app is in background, you need to add click_action entry in your notification data set.
Set additional options of your notification in firebase console like this: (you have to include any extra data that you want to retrieve in your app here):
And include the intent filter in your manifest file under the activity to be launched
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:exported="true"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/Theme.MyApp.SplashScreen">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="FIREBASE_NOTIFICATION_CLICK" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Then get the bundle data in your activity onNewIntent:
#Override
protected void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
super.onNewIntent(intent);
Bundle data = intent.getExtras();
if (data != null) {
for (String key : data.keySet()) {
Object value = data.get(key);
// do what you want with the data entries
Log.d(FIREBASE_TAG, "Key: " + key + " Value: " + value);
Toast.makeText(this, "Key: "+key+".... Value: "+value, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show;
}
}
}
When your app is in foreground, you can set your onMessageReceived like this:
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(#NonNull RemoteMessage message) {
Log.d(FIREBASE_TAG, "Message From: " + message.getFrom());
if (message.getNotification() != null) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
Map<String, String> data = message.getData();
if(data != null && !data.isEmpty()){
for(Map.Entry<String ,String > entry : data.entrySet()) {
intent.putExtra(entry.getKey(), entry.getValue());
}
}
//.......
// implement the rest of the code to show notification
//
}
}
June 2018 Answer -
You have to make sure there is not a "notification" keyword anywhere in the message. Only include "data", and the app will be able to handle the message in onMessageReceived, even if in background or killed.
Using Cloud Functions:
const message = {
token: token_id, // obtain device token id by querying data in firebase
data: {
title: "my_custom_title",
body: "my_custom_body_message"
}
}
return admin.messaging().send(message).then(response => {
// handle response
});
Then in your onMessageReceived(), in your class extending com.google.firebase.messaging.FirebaseMessagingService :
if (data != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "data title is: " + data.get("title");
Log.d(TAG, "data body is: " + data.get("body");
}
// build notification using the body, title, and whatever else you want.
According to OAUTH 2.0:
There will be Auth problem for this case beacuse FCM now using OAUTH 2
So I read firebase documentation and according to documentation new way to post data message is;
POST: https://fcm.googleapis.com/v1/projects/YOUR_FIREBASEDB_ID/messages:send
Headers
Key: Content-Type, Value: application/json
Auth
Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
Example Body
{
"message":{
"topic" : "xxx",
"data" : {
"body" : "This is a Firebase Cloud Messaging Topic Message!",
"title" : "FCM Message"
}
}
}
In the url there is Database Id which you can find it on your firebase console. (Go project setttings)
And now lets take our token (It will valid only 1 hr):
First in the Firebase console, open Settings > Service Accounts. Click Generate New Private Key, securely store the JSON file containing the key. I was need this JSON file to authorize server requests manually. I downloaded it.
Then I create a node.js project and used this function to get my token;
var PROJECT_ID = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID';
var HOST = 'fcm.googleapis.com';
var PATH = '/v1/projects/' + PROJECT_ID + '/messages:send';
var MESSAGING_SCOPE = 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/firebase.messaging';
var SCOPES = [MESSAGING_SCOPE];
router.get('/', function(req, res, next) {
res.render('index', { title: 'Express' });
getAccessToken().then(function(accessToken) {
console.log("TOKEN: "+accessToken)
})
});
function getAccessToken() {
return new Promise(function(resolve, reject) {
var key = require('./YOUR_DOWNLOADED_JSON_FILE.json');
var jwtClient = new google.auth.JWT(
key.client_email,
null,
key.private_key,
SCOPES,
null
);
jwtClient.authorize(function(err, tokens) {
if (err) {
reject(err);
return;
}
resolve(tokens.access_token);
});
});
}
Now I can use this token in my post request. Then I post my data message, and it is now handled by my apps onMessageReceived function.
Since 2019, Google Firebase has a big change in their APIs
I mean:
'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:18.0.0'
in 18.0.0 they removed MyFirebaseInstanceIDService and you need to get token in MyFirebaseMessagingService so you just need to write :
#Override
public void onNewToken(String token) {
Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + token);
}
and also in your AndroidManifest.xml, you have to remove :
<service android:name=".service.MyFirebaseInstanceIDService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
Also, you're recommended to set default values to customize the appearance of notifications. You can specify a custom default icon and a custom default color that are applied whenever equivalent values are not set in the notification payload.
Add these lines inside the application tag to set the custom default icon and custom color:
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_icon"
android:resource="#drawable/ic_notification" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_color"
android:resource="#color/colorAccent" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
android:value="#string/push_channel" />
now to handle notification messages in a backgrounded app you should define an Intent in your first Activity even if it is SplashScreen, When your app is in the background, Android directs notification messages to the system tray. A user tap on the notification opens the app launcher by default.
for example, if your Json is like this:
"data": {
"message": "2",
"title": "1",
"pushType" : "banner",
"bannerLink": "http://www.google.com",
"image" : "https://www.google.com/images/branding/googlelogo/1x/googlelogo_color_272x92dp.png"}
you just need to write a simple intent to get those values:
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
String bannerLink = extras.getString("bannerLink");
...
String channelId = extras.getString("channelId");
In addition to above answers,
If you are testing push notifications using FCM console, 'data' key and object is not added to Push Notification bundle. So you will not receive detailed push notification when App is background or killed.
In this case you have to opt for your back end admin console to test App background scenario.
Here, you will have added 'data' key to your push bundle. so, detailed push will be shown as expected.
Hope this helps few.
Using this code you can get the notification in background/foreground and also put action:
//Data should come in this format from the notification
{
"to": "/xyz/Notifications",
"data": {
"key1": "title notification",
"key2": "description notification"
}
}
In-App use this code:
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage);
String key1Data = remoteMessage.getData().get("key1");
// use key1Data to according to your need
}
I solved this issue by using Broadcast Message.
create an Broadcast and send the payload in broadcast Message from the service worker.
then Receive the payload inside application and handle it the way you want.
This case is only for firebase admin notification
If the application is in the background FirebaseMessagingService does not get triggered
For handling this case go to launcher activity and check for the intent bundle which is attached, and print out all data using this code :
intent?.extras?.let {it->
for (key in bundle.keySet()) {
val value = bundle[key]
Log.d("NotificationData", String.format("%s %s (%s)", key, value.toString(), value!!.javaClass.name))
}
}
check-in log all data with data types is displayed ;
Example :
I want to get the Week and title from notifications will use this code
intent?.extras?.let {it->
if (it.containsKey("week")){
}
if (it.containsKey("title")){
}
After searching the docs I could not find any info on how to send device to device messages using FCM without the use of an external server.
For example, if I was creating a chat application I would need to send push notifications to users about unread messages since they won't be online all the time and I can't have a persistent service in the background that would always be connected to the real time database because that would be too resource heavy.
So how would I send a push notification to a user "A" when a certain user "B" sends him/her a chat message? Do I need an external server for this or can it be done with just Firebase servers?
UPDATE: It is now possible to use firebase cloud functions as the server for handling push notifications. Check out their documentation here
============
According to the docs you must implement a server for handling push notifications in device to device communication.
Before you can write client apps that use Firebase Cloud Messaging, you must have an app server that meets the following criteria:
...
You'll need to decide which FCM connection server protocol(s) you want to use to enable your app server to interact with FCM connection servers. Note that if you want to use upstream messaging from your client applications, you must use XMPP. For a more detailed discussion of this, see Choosing an FCM Connection Server Protocol.
If you only need to send basic notifications to your users from the server. You can use their serverless solution, Firebase Notifications.
See a comparison here between FCM and Firebase Notifications:
https://firebase.google.com/support/faq/#messaging-difference
Making a HTTP POST request with the link https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send with required header and data helped me. In the below code snippet
Constants.LEGACY_SERVER_KEY is a local class variable, you can find this at your Firebase Project Settings->Cloud Messaging->Legacy Server key. You need to pass device registration token i.e. regToken in below code snippet referenced HERE.
At last you need okhttp library dependency in order to get this snippet work.
public static final MediaType JSON
= MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8");
private void sendNotification(final String regToken) {
new AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>(){
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
JSONObject json=new JSONObject();
JSONObject dataJson=new JSONObject();
dataJson.put("body","Hi this is sent from device to device");
dataJson.put("title","dummy title");
json.put("notification",dataJson);
json.put("to",regToken);
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(JSON, json.toString());
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.header("Authorization","key="+Constants.LEGACY_SERVER_KEY)
.url("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send")
.post(body)
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
String finalResponse = response.body().string();
}catch (Exception e){
//Log.d(TAG,e+"");
}
return null;
}
}.execute();
}
further if you want to send message to a particular topic, replace regToken in json like this
json.put("to","/topics/foo-bar")
and don't forget to add INTERNET permission in your AndroidManifest.xml.
IMPORTANT : - Using above code means your server key resides in the client application. That is dangerous as someone can dig into your application and get the server key to send malicious notifications to your users.
You can do it using Volly Jsonobject request....
follow this Steps first:
1 copy legacy server key and store it as Legacy_SERVER_KEY
Legacy Server key
you can see in picture how to get
2 You need Volley dependency
compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'
Code for send Push:-
private void sendFCMPush() {
String Legacy_SERVER_KEY = YOUR_Legacy_SERVER_KEY;
String msg = "this is test message,.,,.,.";
String title = "my title";
String token = FCM_RECEIVER_TOKEN;
JSONObject obj = null;
JSONObject objData = null;
JSONObject dataobjData = null;
try {
obj = new JSONObject();
objData = new JSONObject();
objData.put("body", msg);
objData.put("title", title);
objData.put("sound", "default");
objData.put("icon", "icon_name"); // icon_name image must be there in drawable
objData.put("tag", token);
objData.put("priority", "high");
dataobjData = new JSONObject();
dataobjData.put("text", msg);
dataobjData.put("title", title);
obj.put("to", token);
//obj.put("priority", "high");
obj.put("notification", objData);
obj.put("data", dataobjData);
Log.e("!_#rj#_##_PASS:>", obj.toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JsonObjectRequest jsObjRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, Constants.FCM_PUSH_URL, obj,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.e("!_##_SUCESS", response + "");
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e("!_##_Errors--", error + "");
}
}) {
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("Authorization", "key=" + Legacy_SERVER_KEY);
params.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
return params;
}
};
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
int socketTimeout = 1000 * 60;// 60 seconds
RetryPolicy policy = new DefaultRetryPolicy(socketTimeout, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT);
jsObjRequest.setRetryPolicy(policy);
requestQueue.add(jsObjRequest);
}
Just Call sendFCMPush();
1) subscribe an identical topic name, for example:
ClientA.subcribe("to/topic_users_channel")
ClientB.subcribe("to/topic_users_channel")
2) send messages inside the application
GoogleFirebase : How-to send topic messages
Yes, it's possible to do it without any server. You can create a device group client side and then you exchange messages in the group. However there are limitations:
You have to use the same Google account on the devices
You can't send high priority messages
Reference: Firebase doc See the section "Managing device groups on Android client apps"
Google Cloud Functions make it now possible send push notifications from device-to-device without an app server.
I have made cloud function which is trigger when new message is added in database
It is node.js code
'use strict';
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin'); admin.initializeApp();
exports.sendNotification = functions.database.ref('/conversations/{chatLocation}/{messageLocation}')
.onCreate((snapshot, context) => {
// Grab the current value of what was written to the Realtime Database.
const original = snapshot.val();
const toIDUser = original.toID;
const isGroupChat = original.isGroupChat;
if (isGroupChat) {
const tokenss = admin.database().ref(`/users/${toIDUser}/tokens`).once('value').then(function(snapshot) {
// Handle Promise
const tokenOfGroup = snapshot.val()

Google Cloud Functions make it now possible send push notifications from device-to-device without an app server.
From the relevant page on Google Cloud Functions:
Developers can use Cloud Functions to keep users engaged and up to
date with relevant information about an app. Consider, for example, an
app that allows users to follow one another's activities in the app.
In such an app, a function triggered by Realtime Database writes to
store new followers could create Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
notifications to let the appropriate users know that they have gained
new followers.
Example:
The function triggers on writes to the Realtime Database path where followers are stored.
The function composes a message to send via FCM.
FCM sends the notification message to the user's device.
Here is a demo project for sending device-to-device push notifications with Firebase and Google Cloud Functions.
You can use firebase realtime database to do so. You can create data structure for storing chats and add observers for the conversation threads for both users. It still does device - server - device architecture, but in this case there is no additional server on the developers' part. This uses the firebase servers. You can check out a tutorial here (ignore the UI part, although, that is also a good starting point for chat UI frameworks).
Firebase Realtime Chat
If you have fcm(gcm) token of the device to whom you want to send notification. It's just a post request to send the notification.
https://github.com/prashanthd/google-services/blob/master/android/gcm/gcmsender/src/main/java/gcm/play/android/samples/com/gcmsender/GcmSender.java
In my case I use retrofit with this class Message:
public class Message {
private String to;
private String collapseKey;
private Notification notification;
private Data data;
public Message(String to, String collapseKey, Notification notification, Data data) {
this.to = to;
this.collapseKey = collapseKey;
this.notification = notification;
this.data = data;
}
}
Data
public class Data {
private String body;
private String title;
private String key1;
private String key2;
public Data(String body, String title, String key1, String key2) {
this.body = body;
this.title = title;
this.key1 = key1;
this.key2 = key2;
}
}
Notification
public class Notification {
private String body;
private String title;
public Notification(String body, String title) {
this.body = body;
this.title = title;
}
}
this the call
private void sentToNotification() {
String to = "YOUR_TOKEN";
String collapseKey = "";
Notification notification = new Notification("Hello bro", "title23");
Data data = new Data("Hello2", "title2", "key1", "key2");
Message notificationTask = new Message(to, collapseKey, notification, data);
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://fcm.googleapis.com/")//url of FCM message server

Call<Message> call = api .sendMessage("key=YOUR_KEY", notificationTask);
call.enqueue(new Callback<Message>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<Message> call, retrofit2.Response<Message> response) {
Log.d("TAG", response.body().toString());
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<Message> call, Throwable t) {
Log.e("TAG", t.getMessage());
}
});
}
our ServiceAPi
public interface ServiceAPI {
#POST("/fcm/send")
Call<Message> sendMessage(#Header("Authorization") String token, #Body Message message);
}
You can use Retrofit. Subscribe devices to topic news. Send notification from one device to other.

NotifyData notifydata = new NotifyData("Notification title","Notification body");
Call<Message> call2 = firebaseAPI.sendMessage(new Message("topic or deviceID", notifydata));
call2.enqueue(new Callback<Message>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<Message> call, Response<Message> response) {
Log.d("Response ", "onResponse");
t1.setText("Notification sent");
}
#Override

}
});
}

Here is walk around how to get notifications without second server apart from the Firebase one. So we use Firebase only, without additional server.
At the mobile app code, we create its own notifications function by Android libraries like here, not using Firebase libraries like here, without Firebase Cloud messaging.
Here is an example with Kotlin:
private fun notification() {
createNotificationChannel()
val intent = Intent(this, LoginActivity::class.java).apply {
flags = Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK
}
val pendingIntent: PendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0)
val notificationBuilder = NotificationCompat.Builder(this, "yuh_channel_id")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_send)
.setContentText("yuh")
.setContentText("yuh")
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_DEFAULT)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
val notificationManager =
getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager
notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build())
with(NotificationManagerCompat.from(this)) {
// notificationId is a unique int for each notification that you must define
notify(0, notificationBuilder.build())
}
}
private fun createNotificationChannel() {
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
val name = "yuh_channel"
val descriptionText = "yuh_description"
val importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT
val CHANNEL_ID = "yuh_channel_id"
val channel = NotificationChannel(CHANNEL_ID, name, importance).apply {
description = descriptionText
}
// Register the channel with the system
val notificationManager: NotificationManager =
getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel)
}
In the Firebase database, create collection "pending notifications". Documents should contain user name (to send notification to) and source name (where should user go upon tapping the notification).
In the app code, implement option for adding new records to the Pending Notifications collection. E. g. if user A sends message to user B, then the document with the id of user B (who will be notified) is created in the collection.
In the app code, set up background (when the app is not visible to the user) service. Like here. In the background service, set up a listener for changes in the "Notifications Pending" collection. When the new record with the user id comes to the collection, call the notification function created in the paragrath 1 supra and delete the consequent record from the collection.
So I had an idea here. See: If the FCM, as well as the GCM, has a endpoit to http request where we can send a post json with our message data, including the token (s) of devices that we want this message to be delivered.
So why not send a post to Firebase server with this notification to be delivered to user B? you understand ?
So, you send the message and chat with a call post to ensure delivery of the notification if the user is with your app in the background. I am also in need of it soon, I will test later. What do you say about?
Simplest way :
void sendFCMPush(String msg,String token) {
HttpLoggingInterceptor logging = new HttpLoggingInterceptor();
logging.setLevel(HttpLoggingInterceptor.Level.BODY);
OkHttpClient.Builder httpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder();
httpClient.addInterceptor(new Interceptor() {
#Override
public okhttp3.Response intercept(Chain chain) throws IOException {
Request original = chain.request();
// Request customization: add request headers
Request.Builder requestBuilder = original.newBuilder()
.header("Authorization", "key="+Const.FIREBASE_LEGACY_SERVER_KEY); // <-- this is the important line
Request request = requestBuilder.build();
return chain.proceed(request);
}
});
httpClient.addInterceptor(logging);
OkHttpClient client = httpClient.build();
Retrofit retrofit = new Retrofit.Builder()
.baseUrl("https://fcm.googleapis.com/")//url of FCM message server
.client(client)
.addConverterFactory(GsonConverterFactory.create())//use for convert JSON file into object
.build();
// prepare call in Retrofit 2.0
FirebaseAPI firebaseAPI = retrofit.create(FirebaseAPI.class);
//for messaging server
NotifyData notifydata = new NotifyData("Chatting", msg);
Call<Message> call2 = firebaseAPI.sendMessage(new Message(token, notifydata));
call2.enqueue(new Callback<Message>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(Call<Message> call, retrofit2.Response<Message> response) {
Log.e("## SUCCES #E$#", response.body().toString());
}
#Override
public void onFailure(Call<Message> call, Throwable t) {
Log.e("E$ FAILURE E$#", t.getMessage());
}
});
}
Create Class to make Object:
public class Message {
String to;
NotifyData data;
public Message(String to, NotifyData data) {
this.to = to;
this.data = data;
}
}
Create Class to make Object:
public class Notification {
String title;
String message;
enter code here`enter code here`
public Notification(String title, String message) {
this.title = title;
this.message = message;
}
}
After searching the docs I could not find any info on how to send device to device messages using FCM without the use of an external server.
For example, if I was creating a chat application I would need to send push notifications to users about unread messages since they won't be online all the time and I can't have a persistent service in the background that would always be connected to the real time database because that would be too resource heavy.
So how would I send a push notification to a user "A" when a certain user "B" sends him/her a chat message? Do I need an external server for this or can it be done with just Firebase servers?
UPDATE: It is now possible to use firebase cloud functions as the server for handling push notifications. Check out their documentation here
============
According to the docs you must implement a server for handling push notifications in device to device communication.
Before you can write client apps that use Firebase Cloud Messaging, you must have an app server that meets the following criteria:
...
You'll need to decide which FCM connection server protocol(s) you want to use to enable your app server to interact with FCM connection servers. Note that if you want to use upstream messaging from your client applications, you must use XMPP. For a more detailed discussion of this, see Choosing an FCM Connection Server Protocol.
If you only need to send basic notifications to your users from the server. You can use their serverless solution, Firebase Notifications.
See a comparison here between FCM and Firebase Notifications:
https://firebase.google.com/support/faq/#messaging-difference
Making a HTTP POST request with the link https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send with required header and data helped me. In the below code snippet
Constants.LEGACY_SERVER_KEY is a local class variable, you can find this at your Firebase Project Settings->Cloud Messaging->Legacy Server key. You need to pass device registration token i.e. regToken in below code snippet referenced HERE.
At last you need okhttp library dependency in order to get this snippet work.
public static final MediaType JSON
= MediaType.parse("application/json; charset=utf-8");
private void sendNotification(final String regToken) {
new AsyncTask<Void,Void,Void>(){
#Override
protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {
try {
OkHttpClient client = new OkHttpClient();
JSONObject json=new JSONObject();
JSONObject dataJson=new JSONObject();
dataJson.put("body","Hi this is sent from device to device");
dataJson.put("title","dummy title");
json.put("notification",dataJson);
json.put("to",regToken);
RequestBody body = RequestBody.create(JSON, json.toString());
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.header("Authorization","key="+Constants.LEGACY_SERVER_KEY)
.url("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send")
.post(body)
.build();
Response response = client.newCall(request).execute();
String finalResponse = response.body().string();
}catch (Exception e){
//Log.d(TAG,e+"");
}
return null;
}
}.execute();
}
further if you want to send message to a particular topic, replace regToken in json like this
json.put("to","/topics/foo-bar")
and don't forget to add INTERNET permission in your AndroidManifest.xml.
IMPORTANT : - Using above code means your server key resides in the client application. That is dangerous as someone can dig into your application and get the server key to send malicious notifications to your users.
You can do it using Volly Jsonobject request....
follow this Steps first:
1 copy legacy server key and store it as Legacy_SERVER_KEY
Legacy Server key
you can see in picture how to get
2 You need Volley dependency
compile 'com.mcxiaoke.volley:library:1.0.19'
Code for send Push:-
private void sendFCMPush() {
String Legacy_SERVER_KEY = YOUR_Legacy_SERVER_KEY;
String msg = "this is test message,.,,.,.";
String title = "my title";
String token = FCM_RECEIVER_TOKEN;
JSONObject obj = null;
JSONObject objData = null;
JSONObject dataobjData = null;
try {
obj = new JSONObject();
objData = new JSONObject();
objData.put("body", msg);
objData.put("title", title);
objData.put("sound", "default");
objData.put("icon", "icon_name"); // icon_name image must be there in drawable
objData.put("tag", token);
objData.put("priority", "high");
dataobjData = new JSONObject();
dataobjData.put("text", msg);
dataobjData.put("title", title);
obj.put("to", token);
//obj.put("priority", "high");
obj.put("notification", objData);
obj.put("data", dataobjData);
Log.e("!_#rj#_##_PASS:>", obj.toString());
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
JsonObjectRequest jsObjRequest = new JsonObjectRequest(Request.Method.POST, Constants.FCM_PUSH_URL, obj,
new Response.Listener<JSONObject>() {
#Override
public void onResponse(JSONObject response) {
Log.e("!_##_SUCESS", response + "");
}
},
new Response.ErrorListener() {
#Override
public void onErrorResponse(VolleyError error) {
Log.e("!_##_Errors--", error + "");
}
}) {
#Override
public Map<String, String> getHeaders() throws AuthFailureError {
Map<String, String> params = new HashMap<String, String>();
params.put("Authorization", "key=" + Legacy_SERVER_KEY);
params.put("Content-Type", "application/json");
return params;
}
};
RequestQueue requestQueue = Volley.newRequestQueue(this);
int socketTimeout = 1000 * 60;// 60 seconds
RetryPolicy policy = new DefaultRetryPolicy(socketTimeout, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_MAX_RETRIES, DefaultRetryPolicy.DEFAULT_BACKOFF_MULT);
jsObjRequest.setRetryPolicy(policy);
requestQueue.add(jsObjRequest);
}
Just Call sendFCMPush();
1) subscribe an identical topic name, for example:
ClientA.subcribe("to/topic_users_channel")
ClientB.subcribe("to/topic_users_channel")
2) send messages inside the application
GoogleFirebase : How-to send topic messages
Yes, it's possible to do it without any server. You can create a device group client side and then you exchange messages in the group. However there are limitations:
You have to use the same Google account on the devices
You can't send high priority messages
Reference: Firebase doc See the section "Managing device groups on Android client apps"
Google Cloud Functions make it now possible send push notifications from device-to-device without an app server.

const toIDUser = original.toID;
const isGroupChat = original.isGroupChat;

// Handle Promise
const tokenOfGroup = snapshot.val()
// get tokens from the database at particular location get values
const valuess = Object.keys(tokenOfGroup).map(k => tokenOfGroup[k]);
//console.log(' ____________ddd((999999ddd_________________ ' + valuess );
const payload = {
