Android Question Push Notifications with B4J PushServer

[Marco Iannaccone]

I'm succesfully using, for development and on production, the PushServer with iOS, and would like to use it with Android apps, too.

I tried to follow this guide on GCM:
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ion-gcm-framework-and-tutorial.19226/#content
but the durrent development console dosn't mention GCM but only FCM, that seems to have replaced and extended GCM.

I prefer using the PushServer instead of Firebase, but couldn't find a way to directly use it with Android. In particular I couldn't find a way to get the AndroidApiKey to put into the configuration file.

I was searching for GCM in Google Play Development account and not in https://console.cloud.google.com/.
I created ad app there and will no try the auto-generated browser api key for testing with PushServer...

I don't see any advantage for using GCM instead of FCM.

I wanted to use GCM because the configuration is simpler (I don't need to use Firebase and can directly use the B4J PushServer).
