With my app, the Parse module sends out a notification each time a picture is sent to the Android recipient. The recipient then know to login to the app and receive the picture. My problem is that if the same recipient is getting many pictures sent to him, he will get many notifications for the app. Is there a way to update any existing Parse notification on and Android device to show the waiting count, instead of sending multiple notifications? I have searched through Parse documentation and here at Stackoverflow but can't find any info on how to do this.
yes, I am facing the same problem, The resolution is that , if you dont send title and alert in parse notifications, it will not create the automatic notifications in the device, so you will have to handle them in your broadcast receiver and create your own notifications, you can have a NOTIFICATION_ID for each notification you create and update the count by getNumber and setNumber i think.
here is a link

Update: Sorry for getting back to you late on this but this might help someone else. Even If your app is not running, You will still get the notification. I have tested it on my own BroadcastReceiver which generates Modified notifications with bitmap, and positive, negetive button for response.

I am using Expo to build an app that will pop up a notification with custom sound and vibration when triggered remotely. The alarm/vibration would play until its dismissed by the user or it times out (say after 1-2 mins) .
Example use case would be when a partner needs my immediate help with baby, they can press a button the app and that would send signal to backend server which would then trigger the notification with alarm on the app at the other end. When the notification is dismissed, an acknowledgement message is sent with Yes or No type message. If the notification times out, then another message is sent like "no response".
Key point to note is that when the app is fully closed, the notification should still be able to pop up.
From my limited understanding , expo notification or push notifications in general cannot achieve this as they don't allow us to create notifications that directly open the app. Even a solution which works like phone or video calling apps (which open when someone calls you ) could work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks!
I looked up expo push notifications but they are limited in terms of customising the notifications.
I'm developing a real time chat app using Titanium Appcelerator. I have everything working with ArrowDB and one user can send another user a message through a group.
https://docs.appcelerator.com/arrowdb/latest/#!/api/Chats
However there doesn't seem to be a method or listener to identify when a new message has been sent to the group.
What I'd like to see is when the other user is typing, and as soon as the message is sent it bubbles up on the recipients chat window. Exactly like how iMessage works.
The only way I can pull new messages from the group to the local users device is to have a refresh button or to use a setInterval with a function call to refresh the messages.
obviously this is not a great way to handle the situation as with a few hundred users every month this would make for hundreds of thousands of api calls and probably not good for device performance.
Does anyone have any ideas how to get real time chat working? Is there a method or event listener I am missing that isn't document?
Push notifications only work while the app is in the background, so this is not an option unfortunately.
I need to know is it possible to need to send some type ID with firebase notification. Where user get notification i want to open the page and pass that ID as a parameter in api ? Is it possible ? OR any one have example ? Thanks
Depending on your need you can send a notification message, or data message, the notification message will be basically responsible for showing a push notification to the device with a title, subtitle and message depending on the operating system (in terms of the graphic environment), the data message will send a notification to the device with the data you want, this notification will not be visible to the user, now if you need to send data but also show a notification to the user you can do it in two ways:
You send a notification of data, when you receive it you process it, you show a local notification and you send by parameter the id that you received.
Send a push notification (with the id specifically in some side as you wish) this is shown by default to the user, when the user opens it, you process the id, and send it by parameter.
I recommend the first option, here you will find more information

I have been reading the documentation pages for Notifications for Android devices but I want to build and display notifications on an Android-TV. I have used several apps in the AndroidTV and none of them shows notifications, instead sometimes they appear in the recommendations bar,which leads me to believe that it may not be possible to display notifications on this family of devices.
My end goal is to dispatch a Heads-up notification (priority flag set to MAX) so it can be shown regardless of what the user is doing.
Can someone help me to achieve this, maybe pointing me to some more specific docs?
UPDATE I have found this application that displays notifications, but I cannot understand how it works. Is it possible that it is mimicking notifications without working with Android's API?
I also think notification will appear as "recommendation" and not appear as "notification".
For the Notifications for Android TV app, I guess it is using custom designed Toast instead of Notification.
since iOS 5, notifications are no more intrusive as previous. This is nice, but it seems that users prefer to tap directly on app icon from the Dashboard instead of the (small) banner area or notification center.
In such case, my app cannot get payload from notifications.. Even the 'application didReceiveRemoteNotification' method is not able to get the notification.
Has anyone got the same issue? Do you have any advice?
Thanks
The intention of the push payload is just to display something useful/informative to the user in the alert. Not to actually send data to your app.
So you will need your own web service to provide the data your app needs. Your app should refresh/sync to that service when it launches to get the data.
Example: Instagram. It can push notify you that someone commented on your photo. But it's not actually sending the comment data in the push to display in the app. The comment data is downloaded when you launch Instagram and attempt to view the comment.
