How to send FCM notification to app from web

Question

I am developing chat app which is based on Firebase Database and Storage. Everything is working fine, but now I need implementation of FCM to receive notification on app whe

Answer 1

You can use Postman instead. Open Postman extension in chrome and use the POST url https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send.

Answer 2

Sending a push notification is only a matter of sending a post request to FCM servers.

Here is working example:

$data = json_encode($json_data);
//FCM API end-point
$url = 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send';
//api_key in Firebase Console -> Project Settings -> CLOUD MESSAGING -> Server key
$server_key = 'YOUR_KEY';
//header with content_type api key
$headers = array(
    'Content-Type:application/json',
    'Authorization:key='.$server_key
);
//CURL request to route notification to FCM connection server (provided by Google)
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result === FALSE) {
    die('Oops! FCM Send Error: ' . curl_error($ch));
}
curl_close($ch);

Example of the JSON pay load:

[
    "to" => 'DEVICE_TOKEN',
    "notification" => [
        "body" => "SOMETHING",
        "title" => "SOMETHING",
        "icon" => "ic_launcher"
    ],
    "data" => [
        "ANYTHING EXTRA HERE"
    ]
]

Answer 3

You can send the post request without curl (which was not available on my server)

sendNotification("New post!", "How to send a simple FCM notification in php", ["new_post_id" => "605"], "YOUR_SERVER_KEY");

function sendNotification($title = "", $body = "", $customData = [], $serverKey = ""){
    if($serverKey != ""){
        ini_set("allow_url_fopen", "On");
        $data = 
        [
            "to" => '/topics/new_post',
            "notification" => [
                "body" => $body,
                "title" => $title,
            ],
            "data" => $customData
        ];

        $options = array(
            'http' => array(
                'method'  => 'POST',
                'content' => json_encode( $data ),
                'header'=>  "Content-Type: application/json\r\n" .
                            "Accept: application/json\r\n" . 
                            "Authorization:key=".$serverKey
            )
        );

        $context  = stream_context_create( $options );
        $result = file_get_contents( "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send", false, $context );
        return json_decode( $result );
    }
    return false;
}

function MultiandroidNotification($deviceToken, $message,$type,$title=null,$sub_title=null,$device_type=null,$data = null,$content_available = null)
{

    if($content_available == 1){
        $content_available = false;
    }else{
        $content_available =  true;
    }
    if($type == 12 || $type == 13){
        $priority = '';
    }else{
        $priority = 'high';
    }

    $deviceToken = array_values($deviceToken);
    $no = null;

    $apiKey = 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX';

    $notification = array("text" => "test",'badge' => "1",'sound' => 'shutter.wav','body'=>$message,'icon'=>'notif_icn','title'=>$title,'priority'=>'high','tag'=>'test','vibrate'=> 1,'alert'=> $message);

    $msg = array('message'=> $message,'title'=> $title,'sub_title'=> $sub_title,'type'=>$type,'activitydata' => $data);

    if($device_type == 'android'){
        $fields = array("content_available" => true,"priority" => "high",'registration_ids'=> $deviceToken,'data'=> $msg);
    }else{
        $fields = array('notification' => $notification,"content_available" => $content_available,"priority" => $priority,'registration_ids'=> $deviceToken,'data'=> $msg);
    }

    $headers = array('Authorization: key=' . $apiKey,'Content-Type: application/json');

    if ($headers){
        $ch = curl_init();
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
        curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));
        $response = curl_exec($ch);
    }
        $httpCode = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HTTP_CODE);
        if (curl_errno($ch)) {
            return false; //probably you want to return false
        }
        if ($httpCode != 200) {
            return false; //probably you want to return false
        }
        curl_close($ch);
        return $response;
}

Try this code it works for me android as well as iOS

<?php
    $url = "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send";
    $token = "your device token";
    $serverKey = 'your server token of FCM project';
    $title = "Notification title";
    $body = "Hello I am from Your php server";
    $notification = array('title' =>$title , 'body' => $body, 'sound' => 'default', 'badge' => '1');
    $arrayToSend = array('to' => $token, 'notification' => $notification,'priority'=>'high');
    $json = json_encode($arrayToSend);
    $headers = array();
    $headers[] = 'Content-Type: application/json';
    $headers[] = 'Authorization: key='. $serverKey;
    $ch = curl_init();
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST,"POST");
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER,$headers);
    //Send the request
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    //Close request
    if ($response === FALSE) {
    die('FCM Send Error: ' . curl_error($ch));
    }
    curl_close($ch);
?>
