SendMessage("0772433637", "test", "test")

SendMessage("0772433637", "test", "test")

When i send using

fm.SubscribeToTopic("general")

and send using SendMessage("general", "Kabojja Junior School", "Sports Day is Tommorrow please come all!!!!") the message one to only one device but wen i use

SendMessage("0772433637", "test", "test")

the message does not come to the other device with this mobile number

This is what is in the firebase messaging service

#Region  Service Attributes
    #StartAtBoot: False
    
#End Region

Sub Process_Globals
    Private fm As FirebaseMessaging
End Sub

Sub Service_Create
    fm.Initialize("fm")
End Sub

Public Sub SubscribeToTopics
    fm.SubscribeToTopic("general") 'you can subscribe to more topics
    fm.SubscribeToTopic("0772433637") 'you can subscribe to more topics
End Sub

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
    If StartingIntent.IsInitialized Then fm.HandleIntent(StartingIntent)
    Sleep(0)
    Service.StopAutomaticForeground 'remove if not using B4A v8+.
End Sub

Sub fm_MessageArrived (Message As RemoteMessage)
    Log("Message arrived")
    Log($"Message data: ${Message.GetData}"$)
    Dim n As Notification
    n.Initialize
    n.Icon = "icon"
    n.SetInfo(Message.GetData.Get("title"), Message.GetData.Get("body"), Main)
    n.Notify(1)
End Sub

The topic name is not relevant. Each device can subscribe to multiple topics.

The topic name is not relevant. Each device can subscribe to multiple topics.

Now Erel where could the problem be because i have done all the necessary

 

[DonManfred]

the message does not come to the other device with this mobile number

but it does come to the device which has this line in

 fm.SubscribeToTopic("0772433637") 'you can subscribe to more topics

?

Are you running your app on the device with this phone number? And this device DO register this topic?

 

[Makumbi]

but it does come to the device which has this line in

 fm.SubscribeToTopic("0772433637") 'you can subscribe to more topics

?

Are you running your app on the device with this phone number? And this device DO register this topic?

yes i have installed the app on the device with that number and the number is registered in the app

Don´t know if it makes any difference:

Try to register a Topic atarting with a character.
Like

fm.SubscribeToTopic("No0772433637") 'you can subscribe to more topics

Send a Push to the the Topic "No0772433637" in this case. Worth a try.

I am always using Alphanumeric topics (never starting with numbers).
