When my database record is updated on the server it sends a push notification to the Android app user through FCM. The notification is sent but the badge count on the device is not updated. How do I set the notification to change the badge app icon?
In Android this doesn't happen automatically like it does with the iOS implementation. You'll have to handle this yourself by overriding the onMessageReceived method - see https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/receive. The badge count can then be updated using something like https://github.com/leolin310148/ShortcutBadger to make things easier.

I'm using Firebase to send notifications to my React Native frontend. Notifications come through fine when the app is closed, but user's don't receive the notification while they are inside the app. How can I force the notification through every time?
the notifications are received but not showing when the app is open (foreground) you will have to use this or similar solution to show the notification on the screen in this case.

I have used it on android and iOS with no problems.
You can't "force" them but you can handle them
i am using Onesignal in ionic 3. I am getting notification properly when the app is in foreground. When I receive a notification in background i am getting the data in the notification only after tapping the notification. But i want to get the data without tapping on the notification.
You're looking for Silent Notifications (Silent Notifications are background notifications that do not show any message on the device)
Right now, you're likely using the onOpened handler. You will need to set up a service extension and be prepared to have to write native code!

I have completed an e-commerce app in ionic3. The problem is I want user to be notified when new offers or deals are added in our inventory. This should be a backend process, whether or not the app is open or close.
Note: There is no firebase involved.
If you want to use to get notification in same device then you can try Local notification native plugin for notification and if you want to send notification to other device then you have to use Push or FCM or Onesignal and yes this all required firebase to send push notification to generate device id/key.
I am sending push notifications using Flutter's firebase_messaging package and I send them in the firebase console. When the app is in the background or when it is closed, I am receiving the notifications, however, when the app is in the foreground it is not working. Please tell me if I need to integrate Javascript to make this feature work, and please reference a resource that I can use in order to figure out how I can integrate Javascript with fcm as I haven't found a way to do this with flutter.
I figured out that someone can use the flutter local notifications plugin so that when the push notification is sent and the app is on the foreground, normally no notification would be delivered to the system tray, but using the flutter local notifications plugin, it would be possible to send a local notification when the app is on the foreground.
To Understand better.
Have a look into this table.
https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_messaging#receiving-messages
It states that when your Android or iOS Application is in foreground, OnMessage callback is called if you are sending notification payload or data payload as notification body.
You are receiving notifications when your app is in background because, when an app is in background notification is send to system tray and OS (Android or iOS) handle it for you. And your app is launched when you click on notification from system tray.
When your app is in foreground you have to catch notification payload in onMessage and handle it explicitly, you can create local notification in this case.
I would like to send marketing push notifications that can go to the Notification Center and topics (such as breaking news) that could be very frequent in my case only as badge (I.e not persistent and only visible once the user is in the home screen but not on lock screen)
So the typical permission request for notification includes
[.alert, .sound, .badge]
But there is no method or place that I can found to process the incoming notification and tell it to ONLY show as badge. Is it even possible to do so?
This is for Swift 4and iOS min sdk 10.
Send it as a silent notification, using the content-available key, and add a Notification Service Extension that updates the badge for you.
