how can I integrate push notifications with React Native + Expo + Back4app
Back4App has it own push notification system but its not recommended to use it for expo because there are additional configurations you need to work on. read https://docs.expo.dev/introduction/why-not-expo/ for more details.
However, it is quite easy to trigger push notifications in Expo. https://docs.expo.dev/push-notifications/sending-notifications/ . If you look at the diagram here, you can have a cloud code setup that will do a post request to the Expo backend to trigger the push notification.

I have 2 apps and I implemented expo push notification and everything was fine, but in the other one it asked me for the experienceid as a prop to Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync({
experienceId: "#name/slug,
});
and when trying to send a notification it gives me this error: InvalidCredentials: Unable to retrieve the FCM server key for the recipient's app. Make sure you have provided a server key as directed by the Expo FCM documentation.
I dont want to use FCM, i want to use expo push api.
Can you help me?
The Expo Push API uses FCM for Android, and while it's not necessary to configure it for Expo Go (this is done already for the Expo Go app), when you deploy your standalone app you will need to have it configured for FCM. More information here: https://docs.expo.dev/push-notifications/using-fcm/

I am building a new application in React Native and I built an API for the back-end.
I want to build in a push notification in the app when there is a new entry delivered by the API. I saw a framework that background fetches an API route and then shows a push notification but this only applies ones every 15 minutes. Other push notifications tutorials I see only work with a firebase database and I need it to work with my API.
Is somebody known with combining rest api's with push notifications in react native, that can help me?
Greetings,

step 1:- first you need to add react-native-firebase, messaging in your react-native project for receiving push notification.
link to add react-native-firebase
step 2 :- check your application setup using firebase console's
Cloud Messaging service.
https://console.firebase.google.com/project/fir-demo-f375c/notification
if your application setup is perfect you will get push notification in device from firebase console's Cloud Messaging service.
step 3:- need to add server side code to fire push notification from server,
when your api hites to using server language like PHP.
for more detail in step 3 follow
