this is rather a generic question and I'm not sure where to put it.
Just wondering if there are any good app builders which offer user subscription as a feature and if it is possible to send push notifications to certain unique users. For example, if I have 10 users who have downloaded my app (numbered 1 to 10), would it be possible for them all to log in and would it be possible for me to send push notifications to only User 1,3 and 5?
Also, is there any way they can respond to this notification via my app?
Any info about an app builder with such features would be appreciated. I've checked a few such as AppMakr, but they don't seem to offer such functionality/
Any help will be much appreciated.
Cheers

We have a requirement to send notification to the Mobile App Users on periodic basis. (Say Every day morning 6 AM). We are using Nativescript to develop the Mobile Application.
Can someone help to confirm if this can be achieved? if yes, Any sample code/plugin/directions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!!
If you want to do it from within your app, this might help (not using myself)
https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-local-notifications
Another solution could be to generate scheduled notifications from your server and push them to your app via FCM. In which case you could use this plugin https://github.com/NativeScript/push-plugin (I'm using this)
Yes, possible. Checkout the nativescript-plugin-firebase or nativescript-push. You will have all the details documented in the ReadMe along with sample code.
You might setup a job in your server which would fetch all the list of users and their device tokens you want to send push notification to, pass it on to FCM.
How does gmail detect this when a mail arrives?
I guess, sending and receiving e-mail is not part of the Android operating system.
So, how does gmail do this?
Thanks in advance.
This is a very broad question, but as a starting point I would suggest looking at the Google gmail API. There are some sample code snippets to demo functionality.
https://developers.google.com/apis-explorer/#p/gmail/v1/
specifically you may want to focus on setting up hooks via
gmail.users.watch Set up or update a push notification watch on the given user mailbox.
If you are looking more advanced such as how the Google servers send IPCs; then the Google Test scripts may be of use.

Can I use Onesignal to send a notification of order changes to an Android device then if the user already opened the application on order's page/view the notification will be not shown but the order status on that page will be changed?
If yes, can I know the reference of documentation/tutor? If no, what are alternative ways to do it?
I have a project using Onesignal to send the notifications to the android devices. Currently just Simple notif, but my boss asked me to make the mobile app can auto change status order without user action. I'm a backend engineer, not an android dev so I don't know what really works of Onesignal in android. I just know Onesignal can be used to send the notification but what about data process after notification sent?
This is what I understood: Your app has some kind of market or something from which people can order stuff. So, you want to know if OneSignal can send automated notifications as the order status changes?
If I have got it correct, my best guess will be, no. OneSignal can only manually send out notifications. The closest one can get with OneSignal to automations is scheduling notifications to be sent later. To achieve your purpose, your Android devs will probabaly have to write some code on their own and integrate it some way with the order status and all. Or else, your boss will have to appoint a few people who can track the order of the people and manually send out notifications to them using OneSignal (but, identifying the correct device might not be so easy).
That's my guess. But, OneSignal's support team is pretty nice. They might take a few days to answer, but, it's worth asking them if they can help your developers integrate the order status and OneSignal's notifications in some way.
Is there is something like In App Notification?(Other than push notification) if yes please give me some link for information on it. I had google but does not found anything important.
In App Notifications
It is a new type of notification that is displayed inside the app. Users will see it only if they are inside the app.
There are usually two types of in app notifications or in app messaging:
Intrusive
Non-Intrusive
The Intrusive In App Notifications are usually created when you do an action inside the app and the app developer wants to promote something to you.
For example, if there is a free fitness app. At the end of doing some exercise, you are asked to view one video ad in exchange for the free exercise that you received or you can be asked to leave a review on Google Play Store or Apple Store for the app.
The Non-Intrusive In App Notifications are notifications that sit inside a screen and can be viewed whenever the user is in the app and feels like they should do it.
This type of messages can help app owners to share personalised recommendations, offers, discount codes or updates with their users.
Usually, they are used when you want to reach users that have opted out of push notifications or other communication channels.
Some apps will allow their customers to reply with feedback to their notifications.
There are software development kits from Apptegrity or Firebase or Apptentive that help Android and iOS apps to integrate easily with non-intrusive in-app notifications.
I hope this answers your question.
I have an app where anyone can download an iOS or android app. No user will have to register or login.
I need to be able for admin users to send notifications to all users if and when new information needs to be delivered. This will be a one way conversation from admin to all users. There may be multiple admins.
What is the best way to handle this? Is push notifications the best and if so what is the best solution? I looked at Parse and it might be a solution.
Can anyone please advise?
Parse and Urban Airship are very solid, and likely either will work for your needs.
Another solution is creating your own service using the Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) and Google Cloud Messaging. However, it requires a significant amount of integration time.
