UWP push notifications without WNS - push-notification

Is there any way for a LoB UWP app to receive push notifications without using WNS or being registered to the Store, e.g., from a local server?

You can setup socket connection between your application and server side and handle any information in foreground or background task

I need to create a web app which need push notification without FCM/GCM or APN

I need to send push notification even the site is closed, So I've tried service worker and web worker even web socket but it didn't works fine. It need FCM(Firebase Cloud messaging) to transfer payload from server
,but my server don't support Nodejs so I can't use Firebase
I need a solution to create a custom endpoint to delivery payload to a client in the Background. So, I can push a notification from the Service worker instantly even the site is closed

Firebase push notification device to device

I am coding a React Native app and I using Firebase push notification service.
In my app, users can send message for each other and I want to notify them when they get message.
I found one way for native android I can code for react native it is not problem just I want to know if there is better way. I can make post to directly to Firebase service with using Http post.
This is the link which way I found: https://blog.usejournal.com/send-device-to-device-push-notifications-without-server-side-code-238611c143
I want to push notification to specific device without server, is there another way to do this?
Sending a message to a device with Firebase Cloud Messaging requires that you specify the FCM server key. As its name implies, this key is supposed to only be used in trusted environments, as knowing it allows one to send any message they want to all users of the app. For this reason it is not possible to secure send messages directly from one device to another device with FCM.
Instead you will have to run code in a trusted environment, such as your development machine, a server you control, or Cloud Functions. Your client-side application code invokes the server-side code, that ensures the call is authorized, and then calls the FCM API.

Is it possible for two or more apps under the same project to receive push notifications with the same server key? If so, how can this be done?

How to send request from server side (asp.net web api / mvc ) to xamarin forms app?

i need recommendations from you. I have a project which use web api back end and xamarin forms. Xamarin forms is multi-user apps. Depends to user location it sends post or get request to server side and some actions occur. But what to do when i need to send something to xamarin app from web api without request from it ?????? I mean when some event happen i need to send something like push notification to specific user in xamarin app ???? (like uber send notification to drivers or riders). How to implement this ???? i was thinking to use SignalR but not sure....please help ??? thnks in advance
If your goal is to implement real time communication (when the app is open or running in the background), you could use SignalR. However, SignalR won't allow you to have real notifications mechanism (i.e. getting a push notification when the app is closed and click on it to open the app). Using SignalR, your app UI would get updated if app is open but that's it because SignalR relies on active connections.
If you really want to implement push notifications, you should check the following links:
Firebase Cloud Messaging
Using FCM, app servers can send messages to a single device, to a
group of devices, or to a number of devices that are subscribed to a
topic. A client app can use FCM to subscribe to downstream messages
from an app server (for example, to receive remote notifications).

xamarin.forms push notifications server side

I implemented the .p12 Certificate for APN(Apple Push Notification) to my Windows Server.
Now I have an xamarin.forms App where i downloaded the Plugin.PushNotification.
I implemented in AppDelegate.cs RegisteredForRemoteNotifications, FailedToRegisterForRemoteNotifications and DidReceiveRemoteNotification Methods.
My question is, which Project (MVC, ASMX..) should I create on Server Side to send notifications to the Users who installed the App.
Furthermore I have an Portal programmed which is on this Server too. In this Portal I can send an message to the App too. But which Service do i Need ?
Thanks
No programming required at all :) Use https://onesignal.com for free, unlimited apps & notifications for iOS/Android + Web Push
In my WebApp I used PushSharp to send Notifications to different devices.
In my App I use Plugin.PushNotification and it works like a charm.
