Its my very first time in android and I'm making an application to receive notification and configured with parse notification.
Notifications are delivering successfully from their push notification portal.
I want to make it through my server.
Requirements are
I want to send notifications to all devices app installed on.
I want no expiry time.
I tried codes from google and stackoverflow but none of them delivered notification to my device, I'm trying this from localhost, so is there any need of being it on server like sending email needs it?
A good simple code is expected. Thank you guys :)

I'm doing a tiny personal project involving an Arduino and a PHP backend. I want to send a push notification from the PHP backend to my Android phone using Firebase Cloud Messaging. This question is specifically about FCM - I don't want to use any other services like Blynk, etc. I also do not want to send the notification directly from the Arduino, but rather from the PHP backend.
Can I send a FCM notification to my phone without having to create an app to receive it? I'm logged in with a Google/Gmail account on the phone, and I have no need to target any other users than myself.
Can I send a FCM notification to my phone without having to create an app to receive it?
No, this is not possible. It would open users up to some pretty hefty abuse.
In order to receive your notifications, the user must have your app installed.
Mind you, this can be a pretty minimal app, since the default implementation of FCM already displays notifications to the user if the app is not active. So really all you have to do is create an empty app that includes the Firebase Cloud Messaging SDK.
I have created a small App that's able to receive Push Notifications from the FCM Console.
What i want to do now is to send a Push-Notifications to all Android Phones that got the app Installed using the API. And this is where i got completely lost.
Is there no way to send it to all Phones without collecting all the registration-ids?
Does this only work with the Console but not with the API?
thanx in advance
Sending a message to all the phones like what you do from the Firebase Web Console is only possible from the Web Console.
If you need this feature from the API you can submit a feature request:
https://firebase.google.com/support/contact/bugs-features/
Another possibility is to have all the client registering to a specific topic via FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().subscribeToTopic(topicName)
In this way you can send a message to the whole topic without collecting the registration-ids manually.
I'm trying to send push notification to my app from PHP server.
but I don't understand certain thing like what I need to make PHP server.
I have my app. I configured every thing.
I have created my app in phonegap.
I have API KEY, Project NO., and Registration Key.
I have follow this articles:
Google Cloud Messaging GCM for Android and Push Notifications
Android Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM), PHP and MySQL
Push notifications with PhoneGap and Android
but still not able to create php page to send notifications.
I can send notification using pushbots.
but I want to create my own PHP page to send Push notification.
Please help me with this.
I will really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance
For a good example of PHP code that send Android push notification look at this gist.
In order to have always the updated version of registration tokens, you should write another php page that receive tokens from devices and write them in a db. Then you can get these tokens before sending push notifications.
Hi im working on a project who has an existing iOS app that uses windows cloud platform. Our task is to create a website for the app. One of the requirements is to enable to catch notifications created by the mobile app. For example if there is a new user, push notifications will be triggered and a website link will catch the notifications and save the data to a database. My question is, is it possible to catch a notification from windows azure push notification using a php script event listener?
I don't have any background on windows azure and i don't have any access to there windows azure account. The only thing they said is to give them the link of the script that will catch the notifications.
What are some steps thats need to be done?
Thank you
I'm not sure this is possible. Notification Hubs sets up communications so that you can send a notification out to a many different platforms at one time (Apple, Android, Windows Phone, Windows 8, etc.). Each device registers with the Notification Hub (or the registration is done for them by a back end) and provides a unique device ID, also known as a Channel URI. When you need to send a notification the Notification Hub then disperses that notification out to each of the correct Platform Notification Systems (PSNs) which then deliver the notification directly to the device.
I say all of that to indicate while it might be possible to register a listener that is not a device with the notification hub using a REST based API (You'd have to create a viable channel URI) I'm not sure there is any way to be listening as a php script to a PSN. Also, the registrations do expire from time to time and so you'd need to make sure to keep registering. Finally, no notification system is 100% guaranteed to deliver a notification. The device could be off, it could be in a bad reception area, bad network connection, or the PSN just doesn't delivery it for some reason, etc.
My suggestion is to take a step back and modify the code where the notification is being produced and send it both to Notification Hubs for device distribution, but also send the content of that notification to your database directly, or have them right the message to a queue which is processed in the backend to save to the database if the database isn't local to the code generating the notifications. This removes the notification hub involvement as far as your website is concerned.
If you really MUST look into the php script getting the messages then you can start by trying to figure out how php can receive messages from the PSNs, which is not an Azure issue. You can use the Notification Hubs REST APIs to register for them, but I'm very skeptical of that route.
I am trying to implement Push Notification using GCM,
Besically i am trying to send Notification to the GCM using my PHP server which will deliver it to my android application.
I have used code at androidhive!
The device is getting registered successfully but i am not receiving any notification at my device nor anything is visible at Google console.
I am not receiving any response from the link used https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send or https://android.googleapis.com
Is there anything wrong in this approach?
Can anyone suggest me any authentic source for this?
Realizing that some people are facing issues implementing GCM. I have decided to post solution.
The example on AndroidHive is working perfectly. Its just the matter of correct configuration.
Replace project ID in Android app. (You can get project ID from you google's console link i.e google.com/apis/console/#project:xxxxxxxxxxxx:access)
Replace Server API Key on PHP Server(config.php)
Key for server apps (with IP locking).
You can get your IP from WhatIsMyIP.
Key for browser apps (with referers) will not work.
