I am trying to implement something similar to Google Cloud Messaging and I have a working XMPP service on my phone and XMPP server configured.
Could someone please tell the architecture on the phone? How does android know when to show a notification for an incoming message? and when to update the application?
For Example, In Google Hangouts, when you get a new message, the notification is displayed and if the user is in the conversation frame, the conversation gets updated.
For notifications you have to go through this tutorial android notifications, the client libraries like smack abstract for you the communication between XMPP Server and clients, you listen to incoming Messages and whenever a message arrives you display a notification. I hope this could help you.

I have a net core Back-End (3.1).
I created a page in which admin should enter title and description and pick a user to send a notification.
I want to send notification payload to Apple devices and not to an android device similar to a custom notification.
there is a platform-specific notification in Firebase Cloud Messaging documentation .
However, I was not able to implement it .
If you wanna only send the notification to Apple devices only. Then APNS Push notification push gateway will be suitable for you. See here
Certainly, FCM can also deal with this issue. You need to add the ApnsConfig to your request and send it to the FCM server.
If you cannot implement it, you need to mention more detail about your issue (trace log, exception info, etc.)
I have set up push notification from Firebase console and I can send push notifications. However, I cannot send device-to-device notification yet. As I gather I would need an external app server that would observe Firebase nodes for change and then would fire off a notification via FCM.
I have seen similar question in SO here and a good but brief and not so complete explanation by Frank van Puffelen here. But I am still quite confused. Any tutorial or help as to how I can set up an app server (XMPP here) that would do the communication between client app instances and Firebase for sending notification when ChildAdded or modified and handling the key exchanges would be appreciated. (as I understand, FCM needs XMPP protocol for sending upstream notification)
Any help would be appreciated.
Following this tutorial.
Send Notifications from Server
What you can do is, setup an external server using your favorite technology to listen child_added or changed and respond to the notification requests.
We used the node.js app engine to handle this. Again the funda is to move people to use other cloud paid services.
Yours it's a good question... The firebase can't send push device-to-device, then if you want to do this one, needs a app server as you said. The other possibility that I thought for a long time is a create a independent service to do two things, the first one is constantly controls events as onChildAdded, for exemple and the second one, throws local notifications.
This is solution that i think works fine before to create a app server... At final if you try to do it, explain us your experience please! Greetings!
Developing an application for android and ios with openfire server with asmack(for android). successfully implemented all stuff(one to one chat also group chat). now stuck in how can I implement notification with openfire server specially users get offline, tried with google but it didn't help. Any help appreciate...
If B gets offline and you want A to know about it. Roster is the thing you need. When users subscribe to each other on roster, then When B goes online/offline, All users who subscribed to B will get to know.
If B gets disconnected from your chat server and A sends some message, and you want to have a notification on B, then you need push notification here. As described by #ShoaibGondal "If you are talking about google push, then that is not supported in Openfire unless you find some plugin online or custom changes in your openfire deployment.– Shoaib Ahmad Gondal"
I follow this link PLease see here . Can anyone tell me exact process to communication between two mobile devices in terms of push notification. Please help me.
GCM is a google cloud messaging http server.It is used for providing notification service on android phones any notification you receive on your phone is sent through GCM.Every device using a specific application is registered with GCM. Even if you want your application to send notification to the user on occurrence of something it's not possible without GCM.
im developing a app in android. I want to send a push message when the client app is currently running. how can i achieve this with Google cloud messaging. or any other methods? but i want to send the push message at app running stage as well as the app closed. thanks in advance. hope someone will help me...
delay_while_idle attribute in gcm message will make GCM Server send message when device is not idling.
Read about cloud messaging it will help to fully understand how this service works. http://developer.android.com/guide/google/gcm/index.html
You cannot push message on the client side.
You can send REST HTTP data to a server.
On server side - use gcm-server library for pushing gcm messages.
