I am working on Amazon SNS service, which sends notifications to the endpoint (email,http,https,etc..). I can see the message sending format options either in Raw or Json, by any means do we have any option available that we can publish the message in "XML" format.
Currently only JSON and Raw messages are supported, however, if you need to push an XML message - you can send it as a "Raw" one - it'll work for all channels. But, if you want to customize your message on receiving device, e.g. add custom icon or play a custom sound on message receive - there is no alternative to JSON format in Amazon SNS right now.

I have working with FCM console to send push notification and it has an option to schedule the delivery date.
But in the references, this API is not documented as an option. I need to know if its possible to push a notification with predefined delivery date through a POST request.
If you're looking for a public API of FCM for a scheduled push or a payload parameter where you can set the push date, unfortunately, there's nothing like it as of the moment.
You must implement your own App Server and implement the scheduled push yourself (also mentioned it here).
As an alternative to ALs excellent answer: you could:
send a data message with FCM straight away,
in that message include a field with when the message is to be displayed,
them in your application code show the message when it is due.
This has the added advantage that the message can be delivered when the user has a connection, and then displayed when they don't have a network connection.
Of course this only works if you can determine the exact message before it is displayed. If the contents of the message can only be known right before it is displayed, you will need to implement your own mechanism to schedule deliver as AL said in his answer.
We are developing a Xamarin UWP app that is supposed to receive Push Notifications using WNS. We are using Amazon SNS to send notifications. We made sure that the app is registering itself with proper channel URI to our backend, package name of the app is same as in the store and using Cognito credential put device token entry in Amazon application arn. I have sent raw message to device endpoint and message received in device properly. We couldn't send as Json format and tried as mentioned in below link.
https://anbu2016.wordpress.com/2016/03/17/push-notification-with-wns-and-aws-sns/
But didn't know where to receive notification from application.
For example, ReceivedRemoteNotification as override method present in iOS and it will help process the notification. In my process sent argument then based an argument, we can navigate to different page. How can we do this in UWP using JSON format.
Please help me on this.

We use Firebase to send push notifications to both Android and iOS devices. We use Http (not XMPP).
How to get delivery reports for push notifications? We want to check if a push is delivered to devices (both Android and iOS).
I cannot see any stats or reports in Firebase console.
Please help.
As seen in the Possible Duplicate Post I linked, there is currently no available reports for FCM, other than what can be seen in the Firebase Console (if you sent the message using the console) and using the Diagnostics/Statistics tool in your Play Dev Console.
There is no API that retrieves these FCM log details as of the moment. However, there's been a recent improvement in the Firebase Notifications console where stats (sent count only for now) for messages sent using the FCM API is included in the Firebase Notification console stats. From my answer in the similar post:
As of August 2018, stats for messages sent using the FCM API are now visible from the console. From the Cloud Messaging section, click on the Reports tab. From there, you will be able to filter by message type (notification, data, and all)
It would seem that the Impressions and Opens are still only available for messages sent using the console. But Sends for sure now counts the messages sent using the FCM API.
Reference: https://firebase.googleblog.com/2018/08/in-app-messaging-crashlytics.html
Our findings: In order to view statistics for Data messages, the data messages will need to include an analytics label. Check to make sure that these are included. It is just a label, https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/understand-delivery#adding-analytics-labels-to-messages so even without the analytics label, the message should still be sent. It just won't be tracked by their reporting. Data messages do not automatically generate a notification though. Different app states and message types will have different message receiving behavior. A data message should be received in onMessage or setBackgroundMessageHandler for JavaScript clients. Try checking these callbacks to see if the message is received there. I'd highly recommend checking out the quickstart, which should be working fine. You can use it as a base to build off or reference to compare with your app to identify potential problem areas. So our understanding is that it needs to be handled properly on the mobile end, https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/js/receive (though this is the javascript client, it will still apply to mobile).
You can rather go to the Google cloud console to check messages sent.
Select period from available options on top right of the page.

The delivery report added to the FCM:
Received (available only on Android devices) — The data message or notification message has been received by the app. This data is available when the receiving Android device has FCM SDK 18.0.1 or higher installed.

the thing is that we already have a backend that handles all the push notification process. From device registration on our DB and notification handling on the device and notification sending to Apple and Google servers...Looking into Parse I saw that it has a lot of things that will take us a lot of time to develop but mostly on the process that sends the notification to the devices.
So...I need to know if devices can register in our backend, then from our backend to Parse and then send push trough Parse. Is this possible? Image below.
Thanks!!
Yes this is possible. You'll need setup your push certificates with Parse and register each device's push token with a Parse Installation object's deviceToken field for it to work. All this is documented on their web site. You'll need to setup a Parse User object for each user as well as each Installation is associated with a single User.
