How to send "Notifications" using "Push Notification Component"

[Madan_M]

Hi,

In this tutorial I explain how can you configure “Push Notification Component” in your app and use it to send Push Notifications to those devices which installed your app.

Requirements:

1. Google Firebase Account.
   You can create one here
2. OneSignal Account.
   You can create one here
3. Drag/Add Component “Push Notifications” located under “Experimental” palette to the Screen.
   (Update: Now you will find it in the category “Social”)
   

How to:
PART 1 Setting up firebase account.

Step 1: Signup/Sign to Firebase and Create New Project. Enter Project Name (I used my App name here) and my Country(where I reside). Then click on “Create Project”.

Step 2: You will see below screen after creating new project.

Select “Add Firebase to your Android App”.

Step 3: After that new popup window appears.

Here you need to enter Android package name which is like “com.makeroid.android.madan99022.YOURAPPNAME”
Other are optional. Then click on “Register App”.

Step 4: You nee to do nothing here. Just click on “Continue” and “Finish”

Step 5: Click on “Settings Icon” then select “Project Settings”.

"

Step 6: Click on “Cloud Messaging”.

Step 7: In this Screen you need to note down Two things: 1. Server Key &, 2. Sender ID. Which you need to enter these keys in your “OneSignal” account.

PART 2: Setting up “OneSignal” account.

Step 1: Create a new account or sign in to “OneSignal”.
Then click on “Add New App”.

Step 2: Enter your app name, Click on “Create”.

Step 3: You will get a popup like the one below. Select “Google Android” then click on “Next”.

Step 4: Enter previously noted “Server Key” in “Google Server API Key” and “Sender ID” in “Google Project Number”. Then click on “Save”.

Step 5: In next window select “Native Android” and click on “Next”.

Step 6: Notedown your App ID and enter the same on Makeroid–> PushNotifications–>Properties–>“OneSignal App ID”.

Step 7: Build your app on “Kodular” and install it on your Mobile device.

Step 8: After successful installation of app. You wont get any error after click on “Check Subscribed Users” in OneSIgnal. Then Click on “Done”.

PART 3: How to send notifications.

That’s it! You are done.

Thanks for this @Madan_M!

You don’t actually have to click “Add Firebase to your Android app”. You can just go straight to project settings.

I was about to write the instructions to use this component but you were too quick.

Can I take your tutorial and add it to our docs so that I don’t have to write?

[Madan_M]

Sure. You can add it.

[Viniciotricolor (Vinicio Henrique)]

Very good, fast and easy.

[Kur0ky (Paulo Jamero)]

After I note down my one signal app id, it keep disappearing when I click outside the text box. Because of that I keep receiving error when I click Check Subscribed Users even I installed it on my device.

[Ali_Aydin (Pme)]

Thanks for it.Can we make operation when user clicked notifaction? Like update app database or redirect user to X screen

is it possible?

[pavi2410 (Pavitra Golchha)]

We tried but it didn’t work, so had to remove it

[Tony_Vito]

Congratulations it works!
I get the notification on the mobile device,

for example “Hello word”,

but how can I read the notification and put the word “Hello word” in a string variable and use it in the app?

[Peter (Moderator)]

I guess you are not using the Makeroid builder at the moment?

[Tony_Vito]

at the moment I’m trying with Thunkable, because Makeroid does not make me the build of the app

[Peter (Moderator)]

I guess you didn’t read this:

Makeroid, the Present, and the Future

[Tony_Vito]

Excuse me but I had not read …

I started using Makeroid for a few days …

provided that I have to congratulate you for what you have and are doing!

I need to create an app that uses push notifications to receive information …

I have to wait until April to continue with Makeroid?

[Peter (Moderator)]

Makeroid will relaunch in Q2 of 2018.

In the meantime i would recommend using AppyBuilder. Their push notifications work very good.

[Tony_Vito]

very kind…

I was able to receive OneSignal push notification, using the Thunkable PushNotification component …

With AppyBuilder there is a component that allows me to read the notification received?

with the new version of Makeroid coming out, will it be possible to do?

[Peter (Moderator)]

You should ask your question in the AppyBuilder community.

with the new version of Makeroid coming out, will it be possible to do?

I don’t know. I am not a developer of Makeroid.
