The example on b4a forum work as first method

[B4x]Send Firebase-Message via php

UPDATE Please ensure you use https:// to call the Google fcm api. "Out of the sudden" one of my apps didn't work anymore :rolleyes: $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_URL, 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send' ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POST, true )...

It depends what kind of message you want to send. There are three: data, notification and mixed. I only use data messages (here you have to create a notification on your own but you can decide if and when). See the docs: FCM documentation
