## Configure Firebase Console
### FCM config file

In [firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/), you can:
- for **Android**: download `google-services.json` file and place it in `android/app` directory 
- for **iOS**: download `GoogleService-Info.plist` file and place it in `/ios/your-project-name` directory (next to your `Info.plist`)

Make sure you have certificates setup by following
https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs

### Config for notification and `click_action` in Android
84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96

To allow android to respond to `click_action`, you need to define Activities and filter on specific intent. Since all javascript is running in MainActivity, you can have MainActivity to handle actions:

Edit `AndroidManifest.xml`:

```diff
  <activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
+   android:launchMode="singleTop"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
    <intent-filter>
97 98
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
99 100 101 102 103 104
    </intent-filter>
+   <intent-filter>
+     <action android:name="fcm.ACTION.HELLO" />
+     <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
+   </intent-filter>
  </activity>
105
```
106 107 108 109 110 111

Notes:
- `launchMode="singleTop"` is to reuse MainActivity
- replace `"fcm.ACTION.HELLO"` by the `click_action` you want to match


112
If you are using RN < 0.30.0 and react-native-fcm < 1.0.16, pass intent into package, edit `MainActivity.java`:

115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128

```diff
  import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
+ import android.content.Intent;

  public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

+   @Override
+   public void onNewIntent (Intent intent) {
+     super.onNewIntent(intent);
+       setIntent(intent);
+   }       
```

### Pod approach:

173 174 175
Make sure you have Cocoapods version > 1.0

Install the `Firebase/Messaging` pod:

Libin Lu committed
176 177 178 179
```
cd ios && pod init
pod install Firebase/Messaging
```

Libin Lu's avatar

181
### Non Cocoapod approach
182

Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
183 184
1. Download the Firebase SDK framework from [Integrate without CocoaPods](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#frameworks).
- Import libraries, add Capabilities (background running and push notification), upload APNS and etc etc etc...
185
2. Follow the `README` to link frameworks (Analytics+Messaging)

### Build custom push notification for Android
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
378 379
Firebase android misses important feature of android notification like `group`, `priority` and etc. As a work around you can send data message (no `notification` payload at all) and this repo will build a local notification for you. If you pass `custom_notification` in the payload, the repo will treat the content as a local notification config and shows immediately.

Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
380
NOTE: By using this work around, you will have to send different types of payload for iOS and Android devices because custom_notification isn't supported on iOS
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
381 382 383 384 385 386 387 388

Example of payload that is sent to FCM server:
```
{
  "to":"FCM_TOKEN",
  "data": {
    "type":"MEASURE_CHANGE",
    "custom_notification": {
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
389
      "body": "test body",
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
390 391 392 393 394
      "title": "test title",
      "color":"#00ACD4",

      "icon":"ic_notif",
      "group": "GROUP",

### Behaviour when sending `notification` and `data` payload through GCM
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
405
- When user clicks notification to **launch** the application, you can get that notification by calling `FCM.getInitialNotification`. (NOTE: reloading javascript or resuming from background won't change the value)
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
406

Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
407 408 409 410 411
- When app is running in background (the tricky one, I strongly suggest you try it out yourself)
 - IOS will receive notificaton from `FCMNotificationReceived` event
    * if you pass `content_available` flag true, you will receive one when app is in background and another one when user resume the app. [more info](http://www.rahuljiresal.com/2015/03/retract-push-notifications-on-ios/)
    * if you just pass `notification`, you will only receive one when user resume the app.
    * you will not see banner if `notification->body` is not defined.
412
 - Android will receive notificaton from `FCMNotificationReceived` event
Naisheel Verdhan's avatar
Naisheel Verdhan committed
413
    * if you pass `notification` payload, it will receive data when user click on notification
414 415 416 417 418
    * if you pass `data` payload only, it will receive data when in background

   e.g. fcm payload looks like:

   ```json
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
419 420 421 422 423 424 425 426 427 428 429 430 431
   {
      "to":"some_device_token",
      "content_available": true,
      "notification": {
          "title": "hello",
          "body": "yo",
          "click_action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"
      },
      "data": {
          "extra":"juice"
      }
    }
    ```
432 433

    and event callback will receive as:
434

435 436 437 438
    - Android
      ```json
      {
        "fcm": {"action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
439
        "opened_from_tray": 1,
440 441 442
        "extra": "juice"
      }
      ```
443

444 445 446 447
    - iOS
      ```json
      {
        "apns": {"action_category": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
448
        "opened_from_tray": 1,

      ```

 - IOS will receive notification and android **won't** (better not to do anything in foreground for hybrid and send a separate data message.)

### Quick notes about upstream messages
If your app server implements the [XMPP Connection Server](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/server#implementing-the-xmpp-connection-server-protocol) protocol, it can receive upstream messages from a user's device to the cloud. To initiate an upstream message, call the `FCM.send()` method with your Firebase `Sender ID` and a `Data Object` as parameters as follows:

```javascript
FCM.send('984XXXXXXXXX', {
463
  my_custom_data_1: 'my_custom_field_value_1',
464 465 466 467 468 469
  my_custom_data_2: 'my_custom_field_value_2'
});
```

The `Data Object` is message data comprising as many key-value pairs of the message's payload as are needed (ensure that the value of each pair in the data object is a `string`). Your `Sender ID` is a unique numerical value generated when you created your Firebase project, it is available in the `Cloud Messaging` tab of the Firebase console `Settings` pane. The sender ID is used to identify each app server that can send messages to the client app.

#### Why do you build another local notification
Yes there are `react-native-push-notification` and `react-native-system-notification` which are great libraries. However
- We want a unified local notification library but people are reporting using react-native-push-notification with this repo has compatibility issue as `react-native-push-notification` also sets up GCM.
- We want to have local notification to have similar syntax as remote notification payload.
- The PushNotificationIOS by react native team is still missing features that recurring, so we are adding it here

Try update your SDK and google play service. If you are having multiple plugins requiring different version of play-service sdk, use force to lock in version
```
dependencies {
    ...
    compile ('com.android.support:appcompat-v7:25.0.1') {
        exclude group: 'com.google.android', module: 'support-v4'
    }
    compile ('com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:10.0.1') {
        force = true;
    }
   ...
}

#### I'm not getting notfication when app is in background
1. Make sure you've uploaded APNS certificates to Firebase and test with Firebase's native example to make sure certs are correct
2. Try simple payload first, sometimes notification doesn't show up because of empty body, wrong sound name etc.

#### I'm getting `com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzqf;`
It is most likely that you are using other react-native-modules that requires conflicting google play service
search for `compile "com.google.android.gms` in android and see who specifies specific version. Resolve conflict by loosing their version or specify a version resolve in gradle.

Check open from tray flag in notification. It will be either 0 or 1 for iOS and undefined or 1 for android. I decide for iOS based on [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20569201/remote-notification-method-called-twice), and for android I set it if notification is triggered by intent change.

You can either wait for FCM to develop it or you have to write native code to create notifications.

- for iOS, you can do it in `didReceiveRemoteNotification` in `appDelegate.m`

#### What about new notifications in iOS 10
Congratulations, now you have 5 notification handler to register!
in sum
- `willPresentNotification` is introduced in iOS 10 and will only be called when local/remote notification will show up. This allows you to run some code **before** notification shows up. You can also decide how to show the notification.
- `didReceiveNotificationResponse` is introduced in iOS 10 and provides user's response together with local/remote notification. It could be swipe, text input etc.
- `didReceiveLocalNotification` is for iOS 9 and below. Triggered when user clicks local notification. replaced by `didReceiveNotificationResponse`
- `didReceiveRemoteNotification` is for iOS 9 and below. Triggered when remote notification received.
- `didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler` is for both iOS 9 and 10. it gets triggered 2 times for each remote notification. 1st time when notification is received. 2nd time when notification is clicked. in iOS 9, it serves us the purpose of both `willPresentNotification` and `didReceiveNotificationResponse` but for remote notification only. in iOS 10, you don't need it in most of the case unless you need to do background fetching

Great, how do I configure for FCM?
It is up to you! FCM is just a bridging library that passes notification into javascript world. You can define your own NSDictionary and pass it into notification.
