Implement Push Notifications with Xamarin.Forms (Android) and FCM

[@jfversluis]

Also want to implement push notifications for iOS? Check this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fX-lppR3d52hiJo Or maybe you need to learn now how to _send_ a push notification? I got you covered right here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHqUqJqboN9okK8

Excellent tutorial, many thanks Gerald! Could you please make a video on how to do extra customizations .e.g. show the app mini icon in the status bar, include an image as part of the notification, custom notification background, for both Android and iOS (if possible).

Wow, thank you very much for this video and all of your previous videos. There are several inquiries about push notification, first about the possibility of push it using HTTP Post Verb, and how to push notification between application users themselves without using FB Console, such as WhatsApp notifications when receiving a message, for example, thank you very much again and accept my regards.🌷🌷

[@jfversluis]

Glad it was helpful! Sending push notifications is on the list. In regard to "how to push notification between application users themselves", I understand what you mean, but that is not what is happening. There is always some kind of trigger to send the notification. In this case a message is added to the database of Whatsapp and that triggers the notification for instance :)

[@jbladimir16]

Woof! so great, thanks for keeping your promise. Without embarrassment I would like to ask you more if it were not too much trouble. I would like you to do the second part where by pressing the notification it takes you to a specific page and you can retrieve the message. Thank you very much in advance.

[@jfversluis]

I don't think you can retrieve the actual message unless you also attach that as data, but I've added it to the todo list :)

Does Token ID Change? say when user opens the APP, i save their Token ID into my Database, how often should I update the Token ID (if it changes)?

It can change from time to time. There is an event for when that happens. Hook into that and save/update it for the user when that happens

That’s just for the debugging. If skip over that part and select which all you want to send notifications too then it will be sent to all registered devices.

Firebase will know which tokens are subscribed to which app or which topic

I tryied your sample, i put my google.json file, changed the app name to mine, but the notifications are not coming. I tryied to the specific token and to all but with no luck. What else can i look in to? Thank you

Hard to say without any more info. Make sure the app name is exactly the same including the casing and that the build action is set to GoogleServicesJson

Hello ! what an amazing video ! finally a simply way to implement push notifications in a xamarin.forms project! It's working fine !! Is there a way to add an image in the notification (as KZbin for example) ? In firebase, when I test a sending message, I add an image URL in the form, but when the notification is received on the android device, the image is not present. Thank you in advance, and great job !! :)

Thanks so much! Glad it helped! I think if you provide an image in the right field it should show automatically.

@@jfversluis Thank you for your response ! I putted an URL of an image in the right field in the Firebase Cloud Messaging testing tool, but it doesn't appears in the received notification, however title and message are correctly displayed :) Could it be a specific parameter to add somewhere in manifest or in code ?

@@ericvnh5745 Maybe this plugin doesn't support it. Did you only try Android or also iOS?

[@ericvnh5745]

@@jfversluis only Android for the moment

Check the FAQ on the repository for this plugin, there are some hints in there

once I registered the device there no problem with getting Token, but, after I delete app and test again the app doesn't get the Token. I cannot receive the notification anymore. how can I store token?
