Firebase API is not sending push notifications when using the API

Question

I\'m migrating from Parse to Firebase and facing a problem with our ios app. The Firebase API does not send push notifications to the ios app. This is what im sending to htt

Answer 1

The object you send to https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send with Firebase API should look like this :

{
  "notification":{
    "title":"Notification title",  //Any value
    "body":"Notification body",  //Any value
    "sound":"default", //If you want notification sound
    "click_action":"<activity_name>",  //Must be present for Android
    "icon":"fcm_push_icon"  //White icon Android resource
  },
  "data":{
    "param1":"value1",  //Any data to be retrieved in the notification callback
    "param2":"value2"
  },
    "to":"/topics/topicExample", //Topic or single device
    "priority":"high", //If not set, notification won't be delivered on completely closed iOS app
    "restricted_package_name":"" //Optional. Set for application filtering
}

Please if your problem has been solved don't forget to mark it as such.

Answer 2

I got contacted by Firebase support and was able to find out what is wrong

My push payload was missing a notification object

{ 
 "to": "<registration token>",
 "priority": "high",
 "notification": {
    "title": "Your Title",
    "text": "Your Text"
  }
 "data": {
     "customId": "<my custom id>",
     "badge": 1,
     "sound": "cheering.caf",
    "alert": "New data is available"
  }
}

I hope that helps someone else
