How to receive push notification sent from back4app backend in android app:

Do I have to create GCM push Receiver class?

I did following procress to receive push notification sent from back4app backend:

1. Added GCM sender Id in back4app backend

2. Added sender id android manifest file

<meta-data
    android:name="com.parse.push.gcm_sender_id"
    android:value="id:763300773243" />

3.Also save sender id in parse Installation table

4.Created GCM push receiver class as well.

ParseInstallation parseIns = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
parseIns.put("GCMSenderId", "763300773243");
parseIns.save();

But not receiving any push notification in android app.

can anyone help for this?

Hi.

You still need to include additional information in your manifest file. Take a look in the step 2 of this link here:

http://docs.back4app.com/docs/android/push-notifications/

If you have any problem, let me know.

Best!

Thanks for all your help...I have made some changes in Android manifest file. Now I received push notification on android device.

Now, I need to implement push notification using cloud code in my app.

Cloud code is not working for me..Cloud code is not executing from backend of back4app.

But push notification from back4app backend not working for Amazon kindle device:

I get following message in log:

com.parse.ParsePushChannelsController: Tried to subscribe or unsubscribe from a channel, but push is not enabled correctly. Push is not configured for this app because the app manifest is missing required declarations. Please add the following declarations to your app manifest to use GCM for push: make sure that these permissions are declared as children of the root <manifest> element:

Hi.

Parse Server doesn't have yet implemented push notification adapter for kindle.

About cloud code function, you can use this example here as reference:

Need to send push notification on afterSave function.

Parse.Cloud.afterSave("tableName", function(request) {

  var query = new Parse.Query(Parse.Installation);

  query.equalTo('columnName', 'value');

  query.equalTo('columnName', request.object.get('value'));

 

    Parse.Push.send({

  where: query, // Set our Installation query

  data: {

    aps: request.object

  }

}, {

  success: function() {

    // Push was successful

console.log("Push Successful", Date.now());

  },

  error: function(error) {

    // Handle error

console.log("Push fail", Date.now());

  }

});

});

Is this function right?

This function is not executing from parse cloud code.

Getting following logs when tried to execute above function from cloud code.

Push fail 1472111494600

Push fail 1472111787029

Push fail 1472111837272

Push fail 1472113423156

can you please look into this and provide any solution for this?

Hi.

You should use something like this:

Parse.Push.send({

  where: query, // Set our Installation query

  data: {

    alert: 'your message goes here'

  }

}, { useMasterKey:true,

  success: function() {

    // Push was successful

console.log("Push Successful", Date.now());

  },

  error: function(error) {

    // Handle error

console.log("Push fail", Date.now());

  }

});

});

Push for kindle is not yet available.

Best.
