Set up push notification services

Setting Up FCM for Push Notifications

Push notifications for Android apps are sent using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM). Before you can send push notifications to Android devices, you must perform the following steps:

• Create a Firebase project.
• Register your app with Firebase
• Add a Firebase configuration file

Next, you will need to create your service account key (json file):

• Open the Firebase console.
• Choose your Firebase project.
• Select the gear icon located in the top left hand corner of your screen, then select Project settings.

• Select the Service accounts tab.
• Select Firebase Admin SDK in the sidebar
• Click Generate new private key
• Keep the downloaded service account key (json file) safe. You will need to provide the path to the CLI.

Return to Provisioning resources through CLI for instructions on providing the service account key (json file).
