Tile notification for windows phone - invalid XML payload - - windows

Question

I send two push notifications a toast and a tile (just a count)
the toast gets received:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><wp:Notification xmlns:wp="WPNotification"><wp:Toast><wp:Text1></wp:Text1><wp:Text2>asdf</wp:Text2><wp:Param></wp:Param></wp:Toast></wp:Notification>
the tile does not:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><wp:Notification xmlns:wp="WPNotification"><wp:Tile><wp:BackgroundImage></wp:BackgroundImage><wp:Count>122</wp:Count><wp:Title></wp:Title><wp:BackBackgroundImage></wp:BackBackgroundImage><wp:BackTitle></wp:BackTitle><wp:BackContent></wp:BackContent></wp:Tile></wp:Notification>
This is the xml i provide and I keep getting format errors. Is there something wrong in the format?

Answer 1

Your tile format should be like
string tileMessage = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" +
"<wp:Notification xmlns:wp=\"WPNotification\">" +
"<wp:Tile>" +
"<wp:BackgroundImage>" + TextBoxBackgroundImage.Text + "</wp:BackgroundImage>" +
"<wp:Count>" + TextBoxCount.Text + "</wp:Count>" +
"<wp:Title>" + TextBoxTitle.Text + "</wp:Title>" +
"<wp:BackBackgroundImage>" + TextBoxBackBackgroundImage.Text + "</wp:BackBackgroundImage>" +
"<wp:BackTitle>" + TextBoxBackTitle.Text + "</wp:BackTitle>" +
"<wp:BackContent>" + TextBoxBackContent.Text + "</wp:BackContent>" +
"</wp:Tile> " +
"</wp:Notification>";
Sending tile notification code.It will work for me. If any query than let me know
protected void ButtonSendTile_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
// Get the Uri that the Microsoft Push Notification Service returns to the Push Client when creating a notification channel.
// Normally, a web service would listen for Uri's coming from the web client and maintain a list of Uri's to send
// notifications out to.
string subscriptionUri = TextBoxUri.Text.ToString();
HttpWebRequest sendNotificationRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(subscriptionUri);
// We will create a HTTPWebRequest that posts the tile notification to the Microsoft Push Notification Service.
// HTTP POST is the only allowed method to send the notification.
sendNotificationRequest.Method = "POST";
// The optional custom header X-MessageID uniquely identifies a notification message.
// If it is present, the // same value is returned in the notification response. It must be a string that contains a UUID.
// sendNotificationRequest.Headers.Add("X-MessageID", "<UUID>");
// Create the tile message.
string tileMessage = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>" +
"<wp:Notification xmlns:wp=\"WPNotification\">" +
"<wp:Tile>" +
"<wp:BackgroundImage>" + TextBoxBackgroundImage.Text + "</wp:BackgroundImage>" +
"<wp:Count>" + TextBoxCount.Text + "</wp:Count>" +
"<wp:Title>" + TextBoxTitle.Text + "</wp:Title>" +
"<wp:BackBackgroundImage>" + TextBoxBackBackgroundImage.Text + "</wp:BackBackgroundImage>" +
"<wp:BackTitle>" + TextBoxBackTitle.Text + "</wp:BackTitle>" +
"<wp:BackContent>" + TextBoxBackContent.Text + "</wp:BackContent>" +
"</wp:Tile> " +
"</wp:Notification>";
// Sets the notification payload to send.
byte[] notificationMessage = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(tileMessage);
// Sets the web request content length.
sendNotificationRequest.ContentLength = notificationMessage.Length;
sendNotificationRequest.ContentType = "text/xml";
sendNotificationRequest.Headers.Add("X-WindowsPhone-Target", "token");
sendNotificationRequest.Headers.Add("X-NotificationClass", "1");
using (Stream requestStream = sendNotificationRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
requestStream.Write(notificationMessage, 0, notificationMessage.Length);
}
// Send the notification and get the response.
HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)sendNotificationRequest.GetResponse();
string notificationStatus = response.Headers["X-NotificationStatus"];
string notificationChannelStatus = response.Headers["X-SubscriptionStatus"];
string deviceConnectionStatus = response.Headers["X-DeviceConnectionStatus"];
// Display the response from the Microsoft Push Notification Service.
// Normally, error handling code would be here. In the real world, because data connections are not always available,
// notifications may need to be throttled back if the device cannot be reached.
TextBoxResponse.Text = notificationStatus + " | " + deviceConnectionStatus + " | " + notificationChannelStatus;
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
TextBoxResponse.Text = "Exception caught sending update: " + ex.ToString();
}
}
