I am trying to create a local notification in android using react-native. My application is completely local, so I don't want to use GCM or FCM. I saw this question where it is done using java. Is there wrapper or a library in React Native to achieve the same?
I also saw PushNotificationIOS API, will it work with Android?
Yes, react-native-push-notifications. It does local notifications too on both iOS and Android.
https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification
Wix has the best plugin for notifications.
Includes Local Notifications AND Push (Android & iOS)
https://github.com/wix/react-native-notifications
If you don't want to use push, you can skip the configuration and just install & link to start using
npm install --save react-native-notifications
react-native link react-native-notifications
Take a look at the install guide: https://github.com/wix/react-native-notifications/blob/master/docs/installation.md
Example of use
let localNotification = NotificationsIOS.localNotification({
body: "Local notificiation!",
title: "Local Notification Title",
sound: "chime.aiff",
silent: false,
category: "SOME_CATEGORY",
userInfo: { }
});
NotificationsAndroid.localNotification({
title: "Local notification",
body: "This notification was generated by the app!",
extra: "data"
});
You can find more information on local notifications at https://wix.github.io/react-native-notifications/docs/localNotifications
Also, the notifications layout can be fully customized on Android
You can use https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification to handle local notification. You can use it with out GCM dependencies. Read through Usage section GCM and scheduled notifications are optional. I am using this with Jobscheduler to avoid FCM dependencies.
Consider Notifee library.
Notifee enables developers to rapidly build rich notifications with a simple API interface, whilst taking care of complex problems such as scheduling, background tasks, device API compatibility & more.

I am working on an ionic application and need to implement push notifications using the back end API's developed in .NET.
While going through few blogs I found fire base API's and was able to complete a POC using Firebase. However the notification did not show when the app was in foreground.
I am not sure how to consume .NET API's to get the push messages. Can we achieve this without using Firebase. Please suggest. Thanks !
It is normal so that notification not show on forground using firebase notifications.
this.firebase.onNotificationOpen().subscribe( (msg) => {
if (this.platform.is('ios')) {
this.presentToast(msg.aps.alert);
//here notfication in ios
} else {
this.presentToast(msg.body);
//here notfication in android
}
});
This will trigger a toast of notification in foreground. If you want it as notfication, use local notfication and set the msg.body details as it should be shown inside the local notfication.
And as an advice, use onesignal notfication since it contains better features plus easier and more flexible.
I've been searching on how to make a bridge between React Native and Android Native code for a while, but I still don't quite get it. I've read the documentation here , but I don't quite understand it.
What I want to do is, I want to build an apps that utilize push notification, but since I need to push message to China, I can't use GCM (thanks to the great firewall), so I use another third party push SDK.
I've managed to integrate the push into my apps (resulting a console.log() message whenever I push something), the next step is I want to re-route it to certain page
Any help will be appreciated :)
Note: If you are using common push notification (i.e. GCM and APNS), use this instead. Since I need to use another third party push service, I need to find a way myself to bridge the SDK (which is native) to React Native.
So after several hours tinkering with this problem, I found a solution for my problem. This solution divided into 2 parts:
emitter, this will emits an event whenever the server send a push.
listener, this will listen to the event that you emits before.
emitter
This happens on the native side (Android in my case)
For this part I learnt it from how this library did using GCM. And found a tutorial here on the RN documentation.
Basically after you receive your push on SomeBroadCastReceiver onReceive() function, you can pass the bundle as params in this function
reactContext
.getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter.class)
//this eventName is a key so you need to remember it, because you need to call it on the listener
.emit(eventName, params);
listener
The listener will be built on the RN side. this documentation helps me. I missed this documentation before, because it only appear in the RN iOS docs only.
import { NativeEventEmitter, NativeModules } from 'react-native';
//import your already created package name here
const { YourCustomPackageName} = NativeModules;
then in ComponentWillMount()
const yourCustomPackageEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(YourCustomPackageName);
pushListenerEmitter.addListener(eventName, this.handlePush, this);
then you just need to create handlePush function and get the params there
handlePush = (event) => {
console.log('event triggered..');
console.log(event);
}
The best way to do push notification is Deep Linking. If you are using React Navigation its much simple to do. Deep Linking React Native
You can define unique URL like yorApp://employee/1 and navigate easily to that screen.
I am building an ionic app using sublime because I find it to be more simpler than android studio.
currently I am addion push notification using ionic.cloud with fcm to send push notifications
I foolowed the instructions here: https://docs.ionic.io/services/push/
currently the notifications are working but I want to add more functionality namely
do specific action when notification is received in background/foreground
access payload
the snippet below is shows some code from the link above. are there additional functions for the ionicPush object or is there another way to achieve the functionality stated above?
ionicPush.register().then(function(t) {
return $ionicPush.saveToken(t);
}).then(function(t) {
console.log('Token saved:', t.token);
});
I am successfully sending Push Notifications from the Mixpanel Dashboard to a Cordova app on both iOS and Android devices, using phonegap-plugin-push.
However, the title and body values entered in the default fields only appear on iOS devices.
For the notification to appear on Android devices, I currently need to include a custom payload in Mixpanels "Custom Data":
{
"title":"Title for Android only",
"body":"Content for Android only"
}
This is an error prone step for any non-technical using Mixpanel to send notifications.
Does someone know an easier way to do this?
The short answer here is that Cordova/Phonegap and similar third party frameworks are not 100% optimized for Mixpanel functionality (although they work pretty great), and as such you'll need to generate separate push notifications for both iOS and Android in your Mixpanel project.
Providing context, all iOS pushes regardless of app deliver a JSON payload to APN using the same keys to deliver their messages (alert, badge, sound). However, the keys that Android apps process for incoming GCM pushes are entirely dependent on how the GCM receiver is established, and therein lies the problem here.
Mixpanel's Android SDK initializes pushes and uses a GCM receiver that is specific to Mixpanel messages, and fully expects its custom keys (mp_message, mp_title) in order to render the notification. The webapp reformats the message input to meet these key requirements (http://bit.ly/1OGgU1y)
However, the Phonegap GCM receiver expects different keys as you've noticed. I'd recommend referring to the phonegap github page in order to get more context into the expected push format and behavior (looks like they expect "title" and "message" as the keys): http://bit.ly/1KDScye
Unfortunately, what this means is that the Android app is not optimized to receive the default, web-app generated Mixpanel pushes, although your iOS one is. Mixpanel's SDKs are intended to maximize capabilities for that platform, and it isn't guaranteed that Cordova or similar JS frameworks will translate 100%.
So to conclude - Creating a message in the Mixpanel push editor will send to iOS, but for Android you'll need to use the custom JSON payload in a separate notification, including keys that the phonegap GCM receiver is compatible with.
If its help to anyone this is how I solved the problem
in phonegap-plugin-push
you need to modify two files
GCMIntentService.java
private String normalizeKey(String key) {
if (key.equals(BODY) || key.equals(ALERT) || key.equals(MP_MESSAGE) || key.equals(GCM_NOTIFICATION_BODY)) { // added MP_MESSAGE
PushConstants.java
public static final String MP_MESSAGE = "mp_message";
I am implementing Push Notification for Android in my project. I am implementing urbanairship GCM push Notification.While i gone through the urbanairship site, i camr to notice that under the messages tab, there is an option for "TEST RICH PUSH". I have already done tested simple push by sending push messages from "TEST PUSH" under the tab messsages. Now my question is in "TEST RICH PUSH", there are two new fields "USER" and "ALIAS". Is Rich push is used for sending push notification only to a particualar user currently using an App. or it has got any other purpose. Also please let me know how to enable "RICH PUSH" in their new website.(Earlier it is staright forward. Now i looked in their whole website, But i couldn't find a clue). Any help in this is highly appreciated.`
Thanks InAdvance
Rich Push is automatically apart of the Urban Airship library (at least since 3.0.0 version, probably before then as well but I'm not sure which version number). There are just a few things in code you have to do to get it up and started.
In your airshipconfig.properties file add the line "richPushEnabled = true" (without quotes).
In your manifest file add a service with the name "com.urbanairship.richpush.RichPushUpdateService" along with the PushService/PushWorkerService, etc.
And you should be good to go! If not let me know I may have forgotten something.
To send a push you have to use the curl command found here (Under Rich Push -> Rich Push broadcast): https://support.urbanairship.com/customer/portal/articles/1069013-helpful-curl-examples under audience instead of doing "all", spit out this value to the logs somewhere once UA is initialized: RichPushManager.shared().getRichPushUser().getId() (import com.urbanairship.richpush.*;) and make sure the MasterSecret parameter is NOT your api secret but the master secret found in your API keys on your UA developer dashboard.
I wrote everything out because Urban Airship's documentation DNE for android Rich Pushes, it's absolutely horrible. They have a sample project but that's it.
