Push Notifications are messages that pop up on mobile devices. App publishers can send them at any time; even if the recipients aren’t currently engaging with the app or using their devices.
Before continuing, please ensure that you have added the WebEngage SDK to your app.
Android (FCM Integration)
Step 1: Add the following plugin to your Cordova project.
cordova plugin add https://github.com/WebEngage/cordova-plugin-android-fcm.git --fetch
Step 2: Save the google-services.json file in the root of your project directory.
- Follow the steps under Android FCM Documentation to get the
google-services.jsonfile from your Firebase Cloud account.
Step 3: Update FCM token on app launch.
- Send FCM token to WebEngage SDK in your
wwww/js/index.jsfile.
var app = {
...
onDeviceReady: function() {
...
androidfcm.updateToken();
}
}
- Run and test push notifications from WebEngage dashboard on your Android app.
And you're good to go!
