Interface PushNotificationsService

public interface PushNotificationsService

Adds the ability for the application to receive remote push notifications.

Example

  String senderId = "abcd1234";
  Services.get(PushNotificationsService.class).ifPresent(service -> {
      service.register(senderId);
      service.tokenProperty.addListener((observable, oldValue, newValue) -> {
          if (newValue != null) {
              String deviceToken = newValue;
              // This deviceToken can be used to send push notifications to this device by calling
              // the appropriate server API for the platform. Usually, this token is sent to a server
              // where the push notifications are created and sent out.
          }
      });
  });

Android Configuration

The following permissions, services and receiver need to be added to the android manifest configuration file to make push notifications work on android. The main activity also requires the attribute android:launchMode with value singleTop.

Also, make sure that you replace $packageName with the value of the package attribute in the manifest element that is defined at the top of your AndroidManifest.xml. You should have replaced the $packageName string three times.

  <manifest ...>
