Update push notification message in in the notification drawer

[Hannah R]

Hi,

Is there a way to update a push notification message in cn1? (See the reference - https://developer.android.com/training/notify-user/build-notification#Updating)

Hi,
at the moment we don't have that capability since it's platform specific.

Thank you for your response.

However, this raises another question:
How to prevent bombing user with many push notifications? Or with the same notifications? I don't want user to see 10 notifications from the same app in their notification drawer, especially if the messages are the same.

Sry if I digress, Shai pls feel free to ammend my words

Cn1's push requires you to control this bit of logic server-side. In simple terms, keep a collection of notifications sent in a db somewhere and decide on the server whether new notifs deserve being pushed

Even if you inplemented your own push and not cn1's (not advisable), only on Android would you be able to prevent showing a notification after it has arrived. On iOS, you would still need to make the server choose sending an active or a silent notification

You have two options I can think of:

- Keep track of the push messages sent and avoid sending a duplicate.

- Send hidden pushes and use local notification to update the push status

Notice that your pushes are collapsed together so they shouldn't be too noisy for the user even if you have some duplicates.
