Messaging campaigns

The Amazon Pinpoint console enables you to target your app users with push messaging. You can send individual messages or configure campaigns that target a group of users that match a profile that you define. For instance, you could email users that have not used the app in 30 days, or send an SMS to those that frequently use a given feature of your app.

The following steps show how to receive push notifications targeted for your app.

1. Add a push listener service to your app.

   The name of the class must match the push listener service name used in the app manifest. pinpointManager is a reference to the static PinpointManager variable declared in the MainActivity shown in a previous step. Use the following steps to detect and display Push Notification in your app.

2. The following push listener code assumes that the app's MainActivity is configured using the manifest setup described in a previous section.

3. To create a new campaign to send notifications to your app from the Amazon Pinpoint console run the following command from your app project folder.

   Copy code example

   1amplify notifications console

4. Provide a campaign name, choose Next, choose Filter by standard attributes, and then choose android as the platform.

5. You should see 1 device as a targeted endpoint, which is the app you are running on the Android device. Choose the option and then choose Next Step.

6. Provide text for a sample title and body for push notification, and then choose Next Step.

7. Choose Immediate, and then choose Next Step.

8. Review the details on the screen, and then choose Launch Campaign.

9. A notification should appear on the Android device. You may want to try testing your app receiving notifications when it is in the foreground and when closed.
