### Config for notification and `click_action` in Android
54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66

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>
67 68
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
69 70 71 72 73 74
    </intent-filter>
+   <intent-filter>
+     <action android:name="fcm.ACTION.HELLO" />
+     <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
+   </intent-filter>
  </activity>
75
```
76 77 78 79 80 81

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


82
If you are using RN < 0.30.0 and react-native-fcm < 1.0.16, pass intent into package, edit `MainActivity.java`:

### Pod approach:

143 144 145
Make sure you have Cocoapods version > 1.0

Install the `Firebase/Messaging` pod:

```
cd ios && pod init
pod install Firebase/Messaging
```

### Non Cocoapod approach
153 154 155

1. Download the Firebase SDK framework from [Integrate without CocoaPods](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#frameworks)
2. Follow the `README` to link frameworks (Analytics+Messaging)

### FCM config file
208

209
In [firebase console](https://console.firebase.google.com/), you can get `google-services.json` file and place it in `android/app` directory and get `GoogleService-Info.plist` file and place it in `/ios/your-project-name` directory (next to your `Info.plist`)

### Build custom push notification for Andorid
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.

NOTE: By using this work around, you will have to send different types of payload for iOS and Android devices.

Example of payload that is sent to FCM server:
```
{
  "to":"FCM_TOKEN",
  "data": {
    "type":"MEASURE_CHANGE",
    "custom_notification": {
	    "body": "test body",
      "title": "test title",
      "color":"#00ACD4",
      "priority":"high",
      "icon":"ic_notif",
      "group": "GROUP",
      "id": "id"
    }
  }
}
```

- When app is not running and user clicks notification, notification data will be passed into `FCM.getInitialNotification` event

- 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.

    * if you pass `notification` payload, it will receive data when user click on notification
364 365 366 367 368
    * if you pass `data` payload only, it will receive data when in background

   e.g. fcm payload looks like:

   ```json

369 370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377 378 379 380 381
   {
      "to":"some_device_token",
      "content_available": true,
      "notification": {
          "title": "hello",
          "body": "yo",
          "click_action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"
      },
      "data": {
          "extra":"juice"
      }
    }
    ```
382 383 384 385 386 387 388

    and event callback will receive as:
    
    - Android
      ```json
      {
        "fcm": {"action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},

        "extra": "juice"
      }
      ```

      ```json
      {
        "apns": {"action_category": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},

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

NOTE: it is recommended not to rely on `data` payload for click_action as it can be overwritten (check [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/33738848/handle-multiple-notifications-with-gcm)).

### 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', {
  my_custom_data_1: 'my_custom_field_value_1', 
  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.

## Q & A

#### 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

#### I can't get notification when app is killed
435 436
If you send notification with `data` only, you can only get the data message when app is in foreground or background. Killed app doesn't trigger `FCMNotificationReceived`. Use `notification` in the payload instead.

#### App running in background doesn't trigger `FCMNotificationReceived` when receiving hybrid notification [Android]
438
These is [an issue opened for that](https://github.com/google/gcm/issues/63). Behavior is not consistent between 2 platforms

#### Android notification is showing a white icon
441 442
Since Lollipop, the push notification icon is required to be all white, otherwise it will be a white circle.

#### iOS not receiving notification when the app running in the background
- Try adding Background Modes permission in Xcode->Click on project file->Capabilities tab->Background Modes->Remote Notifications

#### I am using Proguard
You need to add this to your `android/app/proguard-rules.pro`:
```
# Google Play Services
-keep class com.google.android.gms.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**
```

#### 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.

#### How do I tell if user clicks the notification banner?
Naisheel Verdhan's avatar

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.

All available features are [here](https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/http-server-ref#notification-payload-support). FCM may add more support in the future but there is no timeline. If you need these features now, send notification with `data` only and creating notification locally is the only way.
Or you can send `data` using FCM and build a local notification

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`
- for android, you can do it by implementing a service similar to "com.evollu.react.fcm.MessagingService"

Or if you have a good way to wake up react native javascript thread please let me know, although I'm worring waking up the whole application is too expensive.

#### 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.

#### I want to show notification when app is in foreground

Use `show_in_foreground` attribute to tell app to show banner even if the app is in foreground.
Warning: foreground banner won't show in android for remote notification due to limitation of FCM SDK. However you can create a local notification yourself. A pull is welcome to fix this.
