I want my application to send SMS messages to other mobile numbers. I got to know that I need to create a topic, then a subscriber and later publish messages to all the subscribers. But I am not getting how to implement all this stuff like creating topic, subscribers and publishing messages in laravel 5.2 programmatically.

I am developing an app for elderly for my graduation project. There are 2 actors, elderly and the watcher who takes care of elderly.
'all application data stored in Firebase'
My app reminds elderly about their medication time and to check their blood pressure and glucose.
Also, there is a chat between elderly and watcher.
My question is how to push notification without using cloud functions?
I have watched a Flutter course and he used Firebase Cloud Messaging and Cloud Functions, but now Cloud Functions requires to upgrade project's billing plan, so it requires money and credit card, and I don't want to spend money for my graduation project especially that I don't have a huge knowledge about flutter.
I watched a YouTube video that someone explains push notification using Laravel with Flutter, but I afraid about that because I DON'T HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT Laravel.
Also I see that there are many Flutter packages for push notification, but I don't know how to use it or if it uses a Cloud Functions or not. such as: awesome_notifications, flutter_local_notifications, pusher
I hope someone guide me to the right way.
in order to send custom notifications you can create your own server environment (backend) and from there perform all the logic to be able to send the notifications to the devices.
The only thing you need to be able to send a personalized notification from an external environment is to have the token device, in the case that you will send it to a specific person, you can also send notifications if the devices are subscribed to a topic.
This is the documentation to send notifications from a server to the device:

So, we are trying to implement slack integration with our product, botkit uses json_file_store to store channel, team, user related information, why does botkit stores such data? Is there way to avoid storing such data on production environment? or should I use any other slack bot client?
You can read more about how and why Botkit stores data here:
https://botkit.ai/docs/storage.html
Youll want to use at least the simple storage to keep track of things like team/user/channel id in slack, especially if the bot is to be installed or interact with multiple teams or users. This data does not persist like using a dedicated storage connector, and if you are worried about data leakage you can use the Events API in concert with Botkit middleware to limit the data that is sent to the app too and from slack.

I'm using legacy binary APNs and GCM and now I want to upgrade to their newer versions of these services, as recommended on their websites. All I need are push notifications to both iOS and Android devices, though I'd like to add "scheduled notifications" or "bulk push notifications" feature as explained in Firebase Notifications docs.
I'm curious what are the reasons why would someone with these requirements choose Amazon SNS over FCM? Are there any downsides choosing FCM? Is this just a personal preference, meaning the both services will work great for these requirements? Thanks!
The mentioned scheduled notifications can only be done when sending the message via the Firebase Console. If you intend to have implement your own App Server and send the message using the FCM API, you would have to implement the scheduled push yourself. (See here)
For the bulk push notifications, this one can easily be implemented if you use FCM Topic Messaging.
To answer your post (which is pretty much opinion based), I haven't actually used Amazon SNS before, but going with FCM not only allows you to use the new features (compared to GCM), but it can also be a starting point for you to use the other services (Realtime Database, Analytics, Authentication, etc.).
I m building a web application with spring boot. Its kind of ecommerce site. I want to send sms text message to users mobile and email message to user email.
Is there any free Apis available for it or any technical solution for it. I need This feature in india..
Thanks in advance...
There are providers for sending SMS like https://www.twilio.com/sms. It has a Rest-API. My experience from a couple of years ago is that sending a considerable amount of SMS costs money, but it is possible that free offers exist today.
Sending emails can be done with an ordinary SMTP-server. You can manage one on your own or use one of a provider. Spring has a high-level API for sending emails: http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/spring-framework-reference/html/mail.html.
I'm interested in collecting realtime data periodically (say every 1 min.) through a mobile app on my server. Can I use services like PubNub or Pusher for it or are they only for communication in the other direction - like sending push notifications from a server?
If I can use, could you please explain how exactly the setup would work?
PubNub can provide bi-directional real-time datastreams on all devices, including mobile! Any phone (or server) can be a publisher, or a subscriber, or both.
You can choose your SDK of choice here http://www.pubnub.com/developers/ -- each client has docs for a simple hello world app.
If you need more assistance in getting setup with PubNub on mobile, just shoot us an email at support#pubnub.com and we will assist!
