Hi we like to build from scratch an application that has the following purpose and function.
Situation:
A restaurant chain owner has multiple outlet, Food Menu is currently displayed on Android Tablet.
Problem:
Right now the update is done manually on each tablet, pricing and pictures of food.
Improvement:
A Single Table/Computer to push information, data, pictures to multiple android tablet at various restaurant.
How can we build something like that.
Looking forward to the experts here.
Sincerely thank you
Push Notification is the answer. You can implement it in multiple way; for example Parse.
The Parse library provides push notifications by using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM).
Connect your app to Parse. Before getting started, you will need to set up and connect your app to Parse. ...
Send a Test Push Notification. At this point, you're ready to send push notifications. ...
Customizing Notifications.
Furthermore, you can follow these links

I am developing a MVC Web App. The app will provide a platform for people to sell products and allow people to then search for an view these products.
I have no experience of what functionality Firebase FCM can provide. So my two questions are:
Can FCM be added to a MVC App to send push notifications to Android and IOS phones when a triggered by an event e.g a new product gets added to the web app
If it can be added to the Web App how customizable are the notifications e.g. can a notification be sent based on different type of events e.g. can different notifications be sent when different types of products are added to the web app?
Any advise would be helpful!
Yes... but it's up to you to write the code to do this. That is, you'd need to have some kind of process on your side (probably on a server) that's observing the data powering your web app, or your web app could do the work itself to "trigger" this process when it changes. (It really depends on how everything is structured.) This process could then submit a FCM notification that would go to all your mobile clients.
There is currently no way for this to happen automatically. That is, if you're hoping for some kind of "Hey, Firebase, send off a notification through FCM when you notice that a new child is added to your database" functionality, that's something that does not currently exist.
Since you'd be writing the code to create the notification, you can customize as much as you'd like. :)
I have a news website and i'm developing an android app that gets the news articles from a url as JSON and everything is working well. Now i want to implement push notifications in the android app, so whenever a new article is published a notification with the article's title appears on the android device screen. (like facebook).
I made some research and i found that i have to use Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) but it's not that easy to implement, is there any easy-to-follow tutorial about that ?
Parse is a very good solution, it is very easy to implement and you get unlimited number of push with the free service up to 1 million users (last time i checked)
read here about it, should be pretty straight forward:
https://developer.android.com/google/gcm/client.html
also you can follow this:

and send specific errors you encounter during the process.
I want to implement notifications for my android app(Titanium framework) but I am not sure on how to implement.
I have a lms website. If a faculty creates an assignment in a course, all the students of that course has to get notifications.
I want to do it in the below way:
I will collect the device tokens and map with the student id when a student login in my app(lms) from the device
I will send a notifications to all device id's of students in the respective course
Is it a right way to do it?
Also I am confused about device id vs user session based notifications in Titanium. Can you please tell me which one I should use in this scenario.

Similar question on Stack Overflow How to add a push notification in my own android app
I am currently developing an app where users create posts that are stored on a server. When another user shows interest in a post by clicking a button, I want to notify the author of the post using push notifications. I have already set up the data storage using cloud endpoints with Google App Engine. Is there anyway I can use these endpoints to implement push notifications? If not is there another easy way to implement push notifications given my current setup? I have already read about Google Cloud Messaging on the developers page but was somewhat confused. I have kept track of the registration id's but I don't really know where to go from there. Thanks in advance.
You can use the HTTP interface to the GCM servers as described in this
Android developers page.
The easiest way to do it is by downloading the Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library using the Android SDK Manager, which will give you a jar that handles all the complexity of setting up the requests and responses to GCM.
Towards the bottom of that page, there is a sample Java application for push notifications on App Engine which you can use to get familiar with sending push notifications and then adapt to your needs.
I am a newbie in android. I have developed few applications, but all are plain and simple, just used the built in features of android.
I was asked about push notifications, in one of my interviews and I decided to have a look at what Push Notifications are. I understand the concept of Push Notifications(I think), but whenever I read the term "Server", it's freaking me out.
I understand all the client side coding, but I don't get how to implement the server side coding. I have seen some people use XMPP, MQTT, etc., What are those? Here is my scenario and what I want to know..
Scenario ::: Let's say I have a website, with a table (the values are retrieved from database), where I update a few columns every day. I want these updates to be reflected in my android application. So, as I have read, push notifications can tell the application that there are updates available. Good. I am fine till here..
When the application gets the notification, should my application, contact the website and get the latest information? or will the updated information sent through Push Notification? I guess, my application would be contacting the website and get the information. Now, how do I get the data from the website? Should I get the source of the page and do some kind of parsing or something?
I will be asking more questions, as the experts clear my questions...
Sorry, if my questions are too naive, but this is the only place that can help me...
Push Notifications means Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a service that allows you to send data from your server to your users' Android-powered device.
You can refer to this documentation
Google Cloud Messaging for Android
GCM: Getting Started
And there is also Demo App Tutorial given
in your case you need to create HTTP web service for getting data from the server.so when you get notification about update on server side.you just need to call this web service and get the data you need to update
