[react-native-firebase](https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/releases/tag/v4.0.0) has introduced new firebase messaging and remote/local notification features. It has good integration with other firebase features.  I would recommend new comers to check that.

Note that there are some advanced features still in progress 
- handle iOS remote notification when app is not running
- custom iOS notification actions 

### To existing react-native-fcm users

`react-native-firebase` now can do what `react-native-fcm` can so it is a waste of effort to build the same thing in parallel.

Since I'm getting busier these days and start feeling challenging to maintain this repo every day while `react-native-firebase` has a larger team/company backing it, existing users may consider migrating to `react-native-firebase`.

I've created [an example project](https://github.com/evollu/react-native-fcm/tree/firebase/Examples/firebase-migration) using react-native-firebase as a migration reference

`react-native-fcm` will still take PRs and bug fixes, but possibly no new feature developement any more.

### Config for notification and `click_action` in Android
202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214

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>
215 216
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
217 218
    </intent-filter>
  </activity>
219
```
220 221

Notes:
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
222
- `launchMode="singleTop"` is to reuse MainActivity, you can use `singleTask` or `singleInstance` as well depend on your need. [this link explains the behavior well](https://blog.mindorks.com/android-activity-launchmode-explained-cbc6cf996802)
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
223
- you if want to handle `click_action` you need to add custom intent-filter, check native android documentation
224 225


226
If you are using RN < 0.30.0 and react-native-fcm < 1.0.16, pass intent into package, edit `MainActivity.java`:
227

Libin Lu's avatar

228

### Pod approach:

287
Make sure you have [Cocoapods](https://cocoapods.org/) version > 1.0
288

289
Configure the project:
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
290 291
```
cd ios && pod init
292 293 294 295 296 297 298
```

(In case of syntax errors, `open YOURApp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj` and fix them.)

Edit the newly created `Podfile`:
```diff
  # Pods for YOURAPP
Windham Wong's avatar
Windham Wong committed
299
+ pod 'Firebase'
Nick Sarafa's avatar
Nick Sarafa committed
300
+ pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
301 302 303 304 305
```

Install the `Firebase/Messaging` pod:
```
pod install

Libin Lu committed
306
```

NOTE: you don't need to enable `use_frameworks!`. if you have to have `use_frameworks!` make sure you don't have `inherit! :search_paths`

### Non Cocoapod approach
314

Libin Lu's avatar

315
1. Follow the instruction on [Integrate without CocoaPods](https://firebase.google.com/docs/ios/setup#frameworks).
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
316
- Import libraries, add Capabilities (background running and push notification), upload APNS and etc etc etc...
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
317 318 319
2. Put frameworks under `ios/Frameworks` folder, and drag those files into your xcode solution -> Frameworks
3. Put `firebase.h` and `module.modulemap` under `ios/Frameworks` folder, no need to drag into solution
4. Modify your project's `User Header Search Paths` and add `$(PROJECT_DIR)/Frameworks`

**Add the path of header files into XCode:**

1. Open XCode.
2. Press `CMD+1` or click the XCode project.
3. Go to **Build Settings**, selecting **All** and **Combined**.
4. Search **Header Search Path** in the searchg tab.
5. Make sure there is a line of `$(SRCROOT)/../node_modules/react-native-fcm/ios`. If no, just add it.

**Add GoogleService-Info.plist:**

Make sure the file is not just moved into the folder. You need to `Right Click` the project folder in XCode and `Add File to <Project Name>`. Select **Copy if needed** in the `Options` page while selecting the file.

**Shared Library Settings:**

- Make sure you see `Pods.xcodeproj` under **Library** folder if you are using Pod install method.
- Make sure you see `RNFIRMessaging.xcodeproj` under **Library** folder.
- If you don't see any of these files, please add them by `Right Click` the **Library** folder and `Add File to <Project Name>` to add them back. `Pods.xcodeproj` should be under `ios/Pods/`, and `RNFIRMessaging.xcodeproj` should be under `node_modules/react-native-fcm/ios`.
- Make sure you see `libRNFIRMessaging.a` under **Link Binary With Libraries** under **Build Phases** tab. If no, drag the file under `RNFIRMessaging.xcodeproj` under **Library** folder into there.

NOTE: local notification does NOT have any dependency on FCM library but you still need to include Firebase to compile. If there are enough demand to use this functionality alone, I will separate it out into another repo

### Build custom push notification for Android
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
435 436
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
437
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**

**IMPORTANT**: When using the `admin.messaging` API, you need to `JSON.stringify` the `custom_notification` value:

```
let tokens = [...];
let payload = {
  data: {
    custom_notification: JSON.stringify({
      body: 'Message body',
      title: 'Message title'
      ...
    })
  }
};
let options = { priority: "high" };

admin
  .messaging()
  .sendToDevice(tokens, payload, options);
```

### Behaviour when sending `notification` and `data` payload through GCM
Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
487
- 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
488

Libin Lu's avatar
Libin Lu committed
489 490 491 492 493
- 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.
494
 - Android will receive notificaton from `FCMNotificationReceived` event

495
    * if you pass `notification` payload, it will receive data when user click on notification
496 497 498 499 500
    * if you pass `data` payload only, it will receive data when in background

   e.g. fcm payload looks like:

   ```json

501 502 503 504 505 506 507 508 509 510 511 512 513

      "to":"some_device_token",
      "content_available": true,
      "notification": {
          "title": "hello",
          "body": "yo",
          "click_action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"
      },
      "data": {
          "extra":"juice"
      }
    }
    ```
514 515

    and event callback will receive as:
516

517 518 519 520
    - Android
      ```json
      {
        "fcm": {"action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"},

### 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', {
545
  my_custom_data_1: 'my_custom_field_value_1',
546 547 548 549 550 551
  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.

552 553 554 555 556 557 558 559 560 561 562 563 564 565 566 567 568 569 570 571
### Sending remote notifications with category on iOS
If you want to send notification which will have actions as you defined in app it's important to correctly set it's `category` (`click_action`) property. It's also good to set `"content-available" : 1` so app will gets enough time to handle actions in background.

So the fcm payload should look like this:
```javascript
{
   "to": "some_device_token",
   "content_available": true,
   "notification": {
       "title": "Alarm",
       "subtitle": "First Alarm",
       "body": "First Alarm",
       "click_action": "com.myapp.MyCategory" // The id of notification category which you defined with FCM.setNotificationCategories
   },
   "data": {
       "extra": "juice"
   }
 }
 ```

574 575 576 577 578 579
#### 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'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.

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.

#### 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.

You need to set the headers of `Content-Type` to `application/json` and `Authorization` to `key=******` where you replace `******` with the "Legacy server key" from here the Firebase dashbaord. Get this information by first going to:

1. https://console.firebase.google.com/
2. Click on "Gear" icon and click "Project Settingss". Screenshot: https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/35b93de8-44e1-49af-89d7-140b74c267c7.png
3. Click on "Cloud Message" tab and find "Legacy server key" here. Screenshot: https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/c52ec383-783d-47d3-a1e6-75249fb6f3fb.png

The body should be json like this:

```
{
  "to":"FCM_DEVICE_TOKEN_GOES_HERE",
  "data": {
    "custom_notification": {
      "body": "test body",
      "title": "test title",
      "color":"#00ACD4",
      "priority":"high",
      "icon":"ic_launcher",
      "group": "GROUP",
      "sound": "default",
      "id": "id",
      "show_in_foreground": true
    }
  }
}

## Channels

Libin Lu's avatar

741
Right now for Android Orion 8 or API 26 is important to use channels. Firebase will create a default channel for you or you can custom your default channel for Firebase notifications by adding default meta data to `AndroidManifest`:
742 743 744 745

```
<meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id" android:value="@string/default_notification_channel_id"/>

However it is essential to create a notification channel if you need to show local notification or use `custom_notification`.
First you should `createNotificationChannel` on init app. Its creates if not exists yet.

```
FCM.createNotificationChannel({
    id: 'car_status',
    name: 'Car status',
    description: 'Notifies when changes car status',
    priority: 'max',
});
```

After this all notifications should have `channel` key and value with specified channel name. For example:

```
customNotification = {
   id: 'id',
   title: `title`,
   body: 'body',
   sound: 'default',
   priority: 'high',
   icon: 'ic_launcher',
   show_in_foreground: true,
   vibrate: 500,
