I have a website. Currently I have been sending sms during some transactions as notification.
I want to use push notification instead of sms. But I don't have any mobile app.
How can I send push notifications without a app. Are there any way to do it?
Yes, Spontit enables you to send push notifications to all devices - desktop, iOS, Android, etc. You can do so for free and without your own app.
You can check out their API here.
As far as I know, there is no way to do this without developing an app for each platform (Android/iOS). You could also get away with something like a browser plugin. Essentially what your asking for is what your doing, an SMS or an Email. That is as close as you can get w/o an app. You can make a notification system on a website, but there is no way to push it to the user when they are not on your site w/o them downloading something like a plugin. :D
you can do this with https://pushed.co
they allow users to download their app and you push to the users with their app without needing to have your own mobile app

I have a working PWA application and i have tried integrating push notifications to it which worked. But those notifications happened totally in the front end, a user has to click a button and a push notifications would show up.
In my application i have a cronjob that runs every night to check if certain things are updated. If so i want to send a push notification to a user to notify them.
But i cannot find any information regarding this subject so I'm thinking it's not possible since the nodejs server doesn't have a connection to the PWA. Is there something I'm overlooking on my approach or is it simply not possible?
Currently, I'm building one chat application using react native amplify, it works fine when both users are online and are on the same screen ( stack screen to be specific ), I'm able to show push notifications to users for the new message using a react-native-push-notification package (local push notification).
I want to extend this functionality for app running in the background (similar to Whatsapp) and show push notifications if any new message comes for the user. I attempt to do so using FCM service, but found it's might not be best for messaging, and mostly used for campaigns.
Any better idea, how to do this?
You can take a look at react-native-push-notification and OneSignal libraries
I host a PWA website and I am trying to integrate push notifications to my users who may have the website open in a browser tab even if their phones are inactive. You notoriously can't send Push notifications to iPhones without using Apple Push Notifications service (APNs).
Seeing as the point of firebase cloud messaging (FCM) is to outsource the message handlers, I kinda assumed it would support sending push notifications to iPhones somehow via APNs, but the information here suggests you still can't do this from the web.
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/js/client
Safari and iPhones don't support Push API.
According to this answer: https://stackoverflow.com/a/64576541/2116253
Option #2 may be possible if you know the device ID token, which is apparently very hard to get and perhaps not possible anymore because Apple are trying to make it harder to obtain due to security concerns.
I think the actual sending via APNs from server side is quite easy, the problem comes with the initial setup/registration and actually granting permissions that allow notifications to arrive.
So, in short, I don't mind registering my website with Apple, agreeing to terms and obtaining keys for the purpose of interfacing with APNs, but I don't want to make and distribute a whole native iOS app just to send notifications to devices about my website.
Does anybody know the correct way to achieve this in 2022 ?
I want to implement logic to my xamarin.Forms application (for android and Ios), which sends notification to user when something new appears in database. For example when other user add an invitation to database, invited user will receive it. Thanks
If you want to send out push notifications, take a look at One Signal. It is free to use and in my experience is also the easiest to set up with Xamarin.Forms. You would need to follow their tutorial on how to get things set up for iOS, Android, and your server side implementations. After that when something in your DB changes just send a push notification from your server.
Here is a link to the Xamarin.Forms setup: One Signal - Xamarin.Forms
You can also use them to notify the users via email, however I have not tried that.
It depends completely on your underlying backend and services (REST? Websockets?, ...) and is to general to answer clearly.
For a good instruction how to use notifications in Xamarin.Android, take a look here:

Is it possible to send an individual push notification to a specific user of webview Android application?
I have a webview based Android application. Android 8 blocks all background processes and my application can not anymore check for messages every 5 minutes and to show push notifications is there are new messages. As I understand almost the only solution is to use firebase to show notifications.
My question is: can I send individual Firebase notifications to webview application users? If yes, how? People who login to my website from Android phones, enter their data in a login form that loads my website. It's not a Android login form. How can I at the same time login to Firebase and how Firebase will know that this user is already logged in if it's only a webwiew application?
A webview is not capable of directly receiving Cloud Message payloads. The only browsers that works with Cloud Messaging are those that support the Push API.
What you can do instead is receive the payload in the native layer of your Android app (using a normal Android integration with a service that receives the payload), then proxy it to your webview as needed, using webview's ability to inject javascript into it (while it's visible). This definitely is not a trivial amount of work.
