Implement Firebase Notifications

FirebaseNotifications - Push messages / Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

Updated tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-firebase-push-notifications-2023.148715/ Clarification: The nice thing about FCM is that your app doesn't need to run in order to receive messages. The FirebaseMessaging receiver will be started by the OS when a new message...

@DonManfred Thanks for your reply. I Have already implemented the push notifications and I'm able to send them through firebase. I would like to know if someone knows a solution to push directly from WordPress each time that I publish a post.. I know a plugin but I don't know how to insert the rest API in the b4i and b4a code.. https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/push-notification-fcm/

You need to ask this in a WORDPRESS-Forum.
Maybe there is a plugin available. I don´t know. Never used WordPress

You don't need to insert rest API in client apps.
Are you having problem receiving the notifications from Android or iOS apps?

Inform about okhttputils2

Hi, I can make push notifications from firebase console... But I would like to push directly from word press each time that I will publish a post.. I have downloaded the following WordPress plugin: https://es.wordpress.org/plugins/push-notification-fcm/... These are the instructions :

Descripción​

A very simple plugin for the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) system that enables simple push notifications to all Android and iOS devices around the world.

EASY INTEGRATION AND USE​

Simply, you install the plugin, enter your Firebase Server (API) key in the plugin settings, generate a site key and choose the types of posts for which you want to push a notification.
Then you need to insert the generated REST endpoints of your site in your mobile application.
These endpoints are used to register the device with the site when the application is launched and deregister the device when the user deletes the application.
After device registration, every time a new article or page is published in the selected post types, all registered devices are notified and a notification appears.

If it is possible with b4a and b4i?

REST API ENDPOINTS​

In order to be able to send push notifications, you need to record the device ID and device token in the site’s database. Therefore, you have 2 REST endpoints to subscribe the device when the application is installed or launched, and unsubscribe the device during app deletion.

Subscribe device:

https://example.domain/wp-json/fcm/pn/subscribe

Parameters:

• rest_api_key (required) – Unique generated site key provided by the plugin
• device_uuid (required)
• device_token (required)
• subscription (required) – This would be the some category name in which the device is registered, if there is no category exists in WordPress it’ll be created automatically.
• device_name (optional)
• os_version (optional)

Returns JSON:

{
"error": false,
"message": "Device token registered",
"subscription_id": 123
}


So you need to call the subscription URL https://example.domain/wp-json/fcm/pn/subscribe from B4A or B4i app using okHttpUtils2.
It doesn't mention to use GET or POST, so you can try with GET using job.Download or job.Download2.
