I am using Ionic 2, and am trying to get Push Notifications working.
I have registered my app with Firebase, and can push notifications to it successfully.
I now need to set up, so that I can push notifications from my app. So I decided to use the following Cordova Plugin (cordova-plugin-fcm).
Question 1
When I follow it's instructions, by doing the following in my Ionic app:
app.ts
declare var FCMPlugin;
...
initializeApp() {
this.platform.ready().then(() => {
...
FCMPlugin.getToken(
function (token) {
....
I get the following Error at runtime:
EXCEPTION: Error: Uncaught (in promise): ReferenceError: FCMPlugin is not defined
How do I solve this please?
Question 2
In order to send notifications from your app, the Cordova Plugin (cordova-plugin-fcm) instructs the following:
//POST: https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
//HEADER: Content-Type: application/json
//HEADER: Authorization: key=AIzaSy*******************
{
"notification":{
"title":"Notification title", //Any value
"body":"Notification body", //Any value
"sound":"default", //If you want notification sound
"click_action":"FCM_PLUGIN_ACTIVITY", //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
}
This is not even Typescript or Javascript. So where does it go? I just don't understand. Any advise appreciated.
