How to send actionable notifications to iOS with F

问题:

We are currently evaluating Firebase as a future push notification service. Is there a way to send actionable notifications to iOS devices? At the moment we use parse to send pushes, we set the "category" parameter in the payload and the additional actions on the notifications are working. We tried to set this parameter in the firebase console or via the firebase rest api, but the notification actions are not working, it seems the payload is somehow different then iOS expects.

Thanks Malik for the answer. FCM seems to translate the android specific "click_action" property to the iOS specific "category" property.

We send firebase push notifications via their REST API, which can be easily used for testing with postman.

Here is the REST version:

POST https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send

Headers:

• Authorization: key=YOUR_FIREBASE_SERVER_KEY
• Content-Type: application/json

Body:

{ "notification": {
    "text": "YOUR_PUSH_TEXT",
    "click_action":"YOUR_IOS_ACTIONABLE_NOTIFICATION_CATEGORY"
  },
  "to" : "YOUR_PUSH_TOKEN",
  "data": {
    "YOUR_CUSTOM_DATA": "DATA"
  }
}

Currently categories not supported in FCM console but still if you want to test you can use curl post call and test. You can add category to your payload from your server and use FCM api to push notification to iOS.

curl --header "Authorization: key=<YOUR_SERVER_KEY>" --header Content-  Type:"application/json" https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send  -d "{\"to\":\"Device Token\",\"priority\":\"high\",\"notification\": {\"title\": \"Shift Alert\",\"text\": \"Would you like to accept  shift today 11:30 to 13:30  \",\"click_action\":\"INVITE_CATEGORY\"}}"

Authorization: key=YOUR_SERVER_KEY Make sure this is the server key, whose value is available in your Firebase project console under Project Settings > Cloud Messaging. Android, iOS, and browser keys are rejected by FCM.

INVITE_CATEGORY = Your category you using in your code

below is response dictionary you will get on action tap:

{
aps =     {
    alert =         {
        body = "Would you like to accept shift today 11:30 to 13:30  ";
        title = "Shift Alert";
    };
    category = "INVITE_CATEGORY";
};
"gcm.message_id" = "0:12233487r927r923r7329";
}
