I'm new to react native and I need some help.
I need to implement a feature that the application informs the client if it has an appointment on the day and if it does, notify him, if not, not notify.
However, I believe that the application needs to check in the API if it has any scheduling and if it has to check if it is on the scheduling day and if it is, send a notification to the client
Correct me if I'm wrong
I'm using react-native-push-notification
But I can't make the logic for this to happen, I can offer my code so they can help me
Suggestion:
You can opt to go with the react-native-push-notification with firebase so that You can able to send the push notification whenever you want through the blackened.

I don't need a server or anything, but basically I want to do a scheduled notification locally.
I tried using react-native-push-notification but it says I need firebase?
I just want to schedule a notification when the app is opened for a certain time
If you want to use only local notification with react-native-push-notification and avoid using firebase, refer to this part of readme:screenshot of readme
Don't worry about IOS, this library won't be used there
I have developed a simple android app using Firebase database to store stuff.
Now, I want to set up notifications for each time a button is clicked.
Each time the button is clicked, it will take some info from firebase (text mostly) and will send a notification to anyone who downloaded the app.
I understood that simply creating a notificationManager won't work as needed.
I also heard about Firebase Cloud Messaging but im pretty new to this so I must know what I should start learning to make that work out.
So, if you have any good tutorials or anything helpful, that would be great!
Thanks!
You need to receive for the FCM in android app. Refer this doc. And you need to can use database triggers in firebase cloud functions to send FCM notification, or you need to deploy a cloud http function to do so.
I integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging with Unity successfully and I can receive usual messages when I send them from Firebase Console, but I need some extra things.
1 - How can I send my notification as a URL? I mean I want that when user touches the notification it opens the URL that I put in the value in FireBase Console.
2 - How I can send and show a picture and a custom icon in the notification?
Unfortunately, I can't find anything on the internet and official documents confused me.
Is there any way to gain these request only with FireBase SDK?
Thank you.
You have to handle all the messages from FCM manually to get all those features you are looking for. I mean you got the general implementation all the stuff, but you need the unique one. All the notification display settings and notification click handlers have to be implemented on the Android native side.
Probably you will find some interesting FCM asset in the Asset Store with nice notifications customization, not sure. But I would recommend you to surf the Asset Store, maybe there will be some useful packages.
I know that Firebase has recently added support for Push Notifications and while this is a great thing, I only seem to be able to send push notifications manually via the Notifications Panel.
What I'd like to do is to send push notifications within a user scope...Let me explain that. Each User in my App has an account and then each user can join a group. Within this group the user can perform tasks and has a list of chores to do. Now when certain tasks are due for example I want to remind the user of doing it with a push notification. For 1-10 I might be able to pull this off manually, but is there a way to dynamically based on the data in the Database send out Push Notifications?
I know that certain Push Notifications can be created using the Analytics tool such as "Hey you have not visited for 3 days, please come back whatever"... but I'd like to register push notifications such as "I just created a task, this task needs to be done within 3 days. Remind me in 3 days if the task is still not done".
Is this possible with Firebase or do I need to have my own server connecting to Firebase and handling those events?

You need to implement FCM in your client and in a server. Let me put this straight:
First, you need that your client, or app, to register into FCM and get a FCM token that will be used to identify that device uniquely.
Then, store that token wherever you like. It can be into firebase database or other server you may like. I recommend you to store it into firebase if you are using it as a database for your users; that's my case.
Also, you need to implement a http or xmpp server in order to send FCM messages to your registered devices containing the data you are interested in. For example, you can implement a Google App Engine endpoint (can be done with Android Studio and Java) that is quite simple or a NodeJS module, depending on your preferred language.
If you are using Firebase as database you can connect from your server with the appropriate SDK and get the FCM tokens you want from your users, and then send the message to those with data. Don't forget to secure your serve.
The way you implement your server algorithm to send FCM messages depends on your app purposes.
Hope it is clear enough for you. Also you can find all the documentation with a short video that explains the general structure here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging
You can use cloud functions to trigger on any create, update or delete operation in your database and in the trigger event, you can choose to send in FCM push notifications to the devices of your choice.
Here is the documentation regarding the use and structure of a cloud function: https://firebase.google.com/docs/firestore/extend-with-functions
Hope this helps!
I have developed an android application with the Parse push notification service and I can send notification from the Parse website.
How can I send push notifications through my own website using ASP.net? Is there any way?
I checked the Parse documentation but i get confused, I would really appreciate it if someone would help me.
Thanks
I ran into similar confusion. I wasn't even sure how to properly setup the user so that I could send a push notification directly to them. Then I found the following post:
Channels and Targeted Push Notifications
Note the last item under the Channels heading:
Most apps might find it useful to have a channel for each user so that
they can send messages to a user across all their devices and have
users follow others in the app.
So, now I know that I should subscribe each user to a channel that uniquely identifies the user (e.g., the 'bobsmith#foo.org' channel).
After I have subscribed the user to their channel, I can call Parse's REST API via my ASP.NET application. See Sending Pushes in the Parse REST API Developers Guide.
For an ASP.NET/C# example of how to submit a push notification check out this answer.
