I wonder if I can measure my push notifications open and receive rate, sent by my backend. I use laravel right now and I use firebase admin SDK to send push notification from my backend server.
However, I cannot measure my push notification open and receive rate because it doesn't appeared in firebase console. Is there any way out like if google have API for us to grab the push notification data, or anything else ?
I'm also open for using another push notification service, as long they provide the analytics tools for the push notification campaign.
Thanks
Hi Kevin currently only the console allows automatic tracking of notification opens and other metrics. You could log these events yourself with the Google Analytics for Firebase SDK. Thanks for the feedback, this would be a useful feature.

I have an Expo app with a Laravel backend and I want to send notifications to the app. But the condition is that only a specific user can receive it.
I installed the Following library Exponent Notifications
I've Installed expo-notifications as well
But I don't know How it works, How I can listen to the notification channel and How to send Notification from backend.
With Expo you don't get to pick the push notification service according to you, you can try Firebase Cloud messaging or One Signal, but I don't think you can do it only by your Laravel Backend
If I were to make a messaging app which would involve a user recieving a notification after being messaged by another user, how could i go about setting up the notifications in such a way where they are sent after the message is sent by the user who sent it. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome thank you.
P.S. I am using cloud messaging
i wanted to show azure's chat bots responses as notifications in the notification bar like PUSH notifications.
I've came across that i need to use xamarin webview to integrate bot in Android app. So, can webview capable of showing chat responses as push notifications ?
Note:-
I'm using Bot Framework SDK V4
and .Net Core
Xamarin for cross platform development
The WebChat control (webview in your questions) is used as a UX display control within your app. Messages from your bot to your app goes through a dedicated channel that has nothing to do with a mobile Push Notification. So in short, the answer to your question is no, this functionality is currently not supported by the client Webview control (WebChat).
With that said, you can create a custom middleware component for your bot that can send a Push Notification message using Azure Notification Hub. Or you can create custom functionality (sample showing a standard web app) in your bot that sends a push notification. Or your bot can drop a message to a queue and have an Azure Function pick the queue message and send the push notification. Note the last option is an implementation detail.
I have a problem with Azure Notification Hub.
When my app is started in first time, the notifications working correctly, but when did a rebuild the app by Visual Studio, the notifications stop working and the Android Services with IntentFilters do not are called.
For the notifications works again, I need to uninstall the App in Android and run by Visual Studio again.
Have someone some idea about that problem?
My worry is: if I send the app to GooglePlay, the notifications would continue working after a update?
If someone know how to call the service to get the new InstallationId, always that the app to be started I will know how I can resolve the problem.
Can someone help me?
I did follow that tutorial:

There is no need to worry about that, referring to this document, when you use Azure Notification Hub, it's using Android GCM to send the push notificcation. You could see my answer about Android using Firebase Cloud Messaging not receiving message.
As the Official document said :
On initial startup of your app, the FCM SDK generates a registration token for the client app instance. If you want to target single devices or create device groups, you'll need to access this token.
Explanation about Token :
An ID issued by the GCM connection servers to the client app that allows it to receive messages.
When you did a rebuild the app by Visual Studio your token is changed, but it didn't trigger the OnTokenRefresh method, so at this time the Token in your application is invalid. That's why your application cannot receiving message.
For more information, you could refer to Sending Push Notifications from Azure Mobile Apps and Implement the Firebase Instance ID Service.
When your app get a update, it will trigger the OnTokenRefresh method automatically, so your application can still receive the message.
I was wondering, is it possible to set up a Mac OS X app, to get notified when a user makes changes to a Google Calendar. Like what you can do with EKEventStore?
There’s a query method + (id)queryForCalendarListWatchWithObject:(GTLCalendarChannel *) object, but I’m not really sure how you should set up the GTLCalendarChannel object.
Or is the only way, other than polling, to use push notifications?
Thanks in advance.
You can use Google Calendar API which provides push notifications that let you watch for changes to resources. This makes periodic polling unnecessary.
You can use this feature to improve the performance of your application. It allows you to eliminate the extra network and compute costs involved with polling resources to determine if they have changed. Whenever a watched resource changes, the Google Calendar API notifies your application.
To use this API, you need to:
Register the domain of your receiving URL. Before you can set up a push notification channel, you must register the domain for any URLs you plan to use to receive push notification messages.
Set up your receiving URL, or "Webhook" callback receiver. Whenever a watched resource changes, your application will receive a notification message describing the change. The Google Calendar API sends these messages as HTTPS POST requests to the URL you specified as the "address" for this notification channel.
Set up a notification channel for each resource endpoint you want to watch. To request push notifications, you need to set up a notification channel for each resource you want to watch. After your notification channels are set up, the Google Calendar API will inform your application when any watched resource changes.
When a calendar changes, it will notify your app and the app does an API call to get the update. You can use one of the Google API client libraries to utilize push notifications.
Check these documentation and blog about Google Calendar API Push notifications.
Hope this helps!
