I have a React Native app (testing on iOS) and am trying to incorporate Push notifications. I am using the following module:https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-firebase-push-notifications.
I tried running example app code and am able to obtain
a (1) message token and (2) successfully obtain permissions from my device.
I am trying to send a test notification from Firebase and am using my device's token. However, nothing happens upon triggering a test notification. Any tips? I believe I followed the key upload instructions correctly (https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs)
I hope you have uploaded pem/p8 file on firebase console at "Cloud Messaging" in Project settings. Check this image
I figured it out! Although I thought I had done this in the past, I did not have Remote notification enabled in background modes, nor did I have Push notifications checked in the Signing & Capabilities section of project setting on Xcode. Thank you!

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/
To give more clarity on the issue, i am developing this for IOS using expo notifications and expo sdk44 in my current project.
I have a couple of questions which i failed to find the answer to in their official documentation.
Is it possible to display images in a local notification while using expo's expo-notification library?
Is it possible to send "data-only" messages to Apple devices using expo push notification service?
Thanks in advance
expo-notifications has limited features and not currently support a custom image in the notification.
In case you need a native-like notification experience, you should opt for https://notifee.app/.
I am trying to use Expo's Snack Tool to test the notification system.
I manage to get my token and send a scheduled notification, but can't figure out how to receive a notification from the test tool proposed by Expo. I have also use Insomnia for making my POST request and just return me a 200.
Here is the link to a Snack as well as the one of the test tool
I have no idea about Expo tool but I would suggest you use Prateek Bhutani's
(postman plugin) I have tested my apps in past using postman.

currently I working to implement Firebase Push Notification in my apps.
I found this:
[background] Using Firebase Console my apps can get the notification from system tray with remote notification
[foreground] Using Firebase Console my apps can get the notification from log, but i can make it into notification center with local notification
[foreground] Using Our Dashboard which managed by PHP serverside, I can get notification from log, but i can make it into notification center with local notification
The problem is, how can i get the notification (log is fine) if my apps in background with Our Dashboard which managed by PHP serverside?
I found that there is different between json I got from Firebase Console and our managed serverside dashboard, is that a problem that my apps cant handle? and how i can handle it? can I get the sample of the code to solve this problem?
This is the different between json i got from firebase console and our managed serverside dashboard
firebase console
our managed serverside dashboard
What you want to do is possible by using the normal FCM api.
Please review the differences between Display-Message and Data-Message here:
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options#notifications_and_data_messages
and see all the parameters in the reference page:

I've tried to following the instructions
Configuring push services for Android devices
However, the steps mention 'Click Push Notifications on the left-side navigation' but they don't exist...
Once you've created a Google API project with GCM enabled, you need to update your application's settings page in Dashboard with the API key and sender ID you generated.
To configure Arrow for push notifications using Dashboard:
Open Dashboard and select your application from the Apps drop-down menu.
Click Push Notifications on the left-side navigation <-- MISSING.
Select the Android Push tab.
Enter the server key in the GCM API Key field and the GCM sender ID in the GCM Sender ID field.
Here's a screenshot to show what's listed...
If I look under Arrow (where I suspect it might be expecting to be listed) that's empty (I'm not using Arrow - I thought it was an alternative UI using declarative XML)...
I've checked the subscription that I'm on (Indie) and it shows that I should have the ability to send up to 1 million push notifications for free..
Does anyone know how I can associate the Appcelerator Titanium project to the GCM server key??
Also, when I looked in Googles developer console, my application (which is live on their app store) wasn't listed, so I've created a new application called 'Gcm'. The Appcelerator Titanium seemed to confirm that I needed to 'create' the application, I was just too worried to call it the same name as the live application. How does the 'Google Developer Console' Application relate to the 'Google Play' application?! - if at all?
UPDATE
I've just discovered in TiApp.xml that I can enable some 'Cloud' settings and this has unlocked the 'Push' menu - so I think all is good now, could someone confirm that this is the right thing to do and answer my related question about Google play applications v google developer console applications?
Update 2
I started to get this error
[ERROR] : GooglePlayServicesUtil: The Google Play services resources
were not found. Check your project configuration to ensure that the
resources are included.
[INFO] : CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken error: INVALID_SENDER
I'm simply calling this to try and register for Android push notifications ...
CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken({
success : function(e) {
console.info("CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken success");
},
error : function(e) {
console.info("CloudPush.retrieveDeviceToken error:"+e.error);
}
});
I have tried with and without the ti.cloud module (I think it got added when I clicked the 'Enable Services' button which meant that I could see the 'Push Notifications' tab, but it seems to still be listed whether the ti.cloud module is elected or not)..
Before..
Q - How to stop the Google Play error and retrieve the device token (oddly I was getting the token before enable services.
Q - Is ti.cloud used to receive the push notification, or is ti.cloudpush sufficient for this?
Thanks for the detailed question :) Let me go into some of the things you mention and clarify what I can.
If I look under Arrow (where I suspect it might be expecting to be listed) that's empty
As you later found out you have to enable platform services for your app which will create an ArrowDB app with the same name as your app. This app will have the Push Notifications in the sidebar to configure. I've updated the guide's wordings to make clear we mean the ArrowDB app, not the Titanium app.
(I'm not using Arrow - I thought it was an alternative UI using declarative XML)...
Don't confuse Arrow with Alloy - which is the MVC framework for Titanium which indeed uses XML.
How does the 'Google Developer Console' Application relate to the 'Google Play' application?! - if at all?
It doesn't. You can even have multiple apps share the same GCM sender.
[ERROR] : GooglePlayServicesUtil: The Google Play services resources were not found.
What did you use to test? A Genymotion emulator without Google Apps installed perhaps? You'll need that.
Is ti.cloud used to receive the push notification, or is ti.cloudpush sufficient for this?
ti.cloud is the module to communicate with ArrowDB, subscribe to channels etcetera. On Android you need ti.cloudpush (or as #Shawn mentioned another module) to retrieve the device token where on iOS you can use a Ti. API for that. Follow this guide for all steps.
You can ignore the Google Play Service error, but it seems your GCM Sender ID and/or API Key is wrong. Read through the tutorial and make sure you put down the right ones.
If you are using Appcelerator Cloud Service to send push notifications, you need ti.cloud to register the devices.
To get the device token and to receive push notifications, you use ti.cloudpush. There are other modules that you can use instead of ti.cloudpush.
