[B4X] Firebase Push Notifications 2023+

Google has deprecated the previous method of sending push notifications. It will stop working on June 2024. If you have an already working solution then you only need to update the B4J side. Do make sure that you switched from the service to a receiver on B4A. The new API is (confusingly) named...

See the code in the example. Add them whereever you need them.

Also note the todo on the NBuilder-Thread

Is different things.
You will send the message from Firebase and get the message in the FirebaseMessaging receiver.
When the message is arrived, you can show a NB6 notification.

Check the push client example, change the "Dim n2 As Notification" to "Dim n2 As NB6" and made the necessary modifications.

just for future fast reference ... change inside the FireBaseMessaging module from the sample:

B4X: 
'Dim n2 As Notification
    'n2.Initialize2(n2.IMPORTANCE_HIGH)
    'n2.Icon = "icon"
    'n2.SetInfo(Message.GetData.Get("title"), Message.GetData.Get("body"), Main)
    'n2.Notify(1)

   
   
    Dim n As NB6
    n.Initialize("default", Application.LabelName, "DEFAULT").AutoCancel(True).SmallIcon(iconKantutaTV)
    n.Build(Message.GetData.Get("title"), Message.GetData.Get("body"), "tag1", Main).Notify(4) 'It will be Main (or any other activity) instead of Me if called from a service.
