Can I customize push service in WebView?

[Binghui Chen]

Hi all,

     Push Service used right now is:

     https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send/  and https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send/.

     Thanks to Great Wall these two server are unreachable in China. So if browser or super applications(like Ali Pay) in China wants to provide Push Service, we must build another. 

     And for some reason like easy to use and embed, in China android Chromium with WebView architecture is very popular, so here go my questions:

     1. Can Google provider some API to customise Push Service in Android WebView?

     2. Can Google opensource the source of back-end Push service?

Hi all,

WebView does not support the Web Push Notification APIs (https://research.google.com/pubs/pub46739.html), but you could receive regular Android Notifications and then communicate with your WebView from the hosting native app. 

For alternative push service providers, there is https://pushy.me/ or https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/mobile-push-baidu.html among others that apparently work in China. 

Cheers,

Tom
