Firebase listener when app is in the background

Question

I have a Firebase childAdded event listener for the notifications table in my app that I would like to trigger push notifications when the app is in the backgro

Answer 1

Simple solution would be to use background fetch. You can also use background fetch to periodically fetch the table for new entries and show a notification if a new row is added.

This does not assure that notifications are received immediately. But implementation is much simpler compared to using an APN.
