Push Notification Setup
Table of Contents
Overview
Implement comprehensive push notification systems for iOS and Android applications using Firebase Cloud Messaging and native platform services.
When to Use
- Sending real-time notifications to users
- Implementing user engagement features
- Deep linking from notifications to specific screens
- Handling silent/background notifications
- Tracking notification analytics
Quick Start
Minimal working example:
import messaging from "@react-native-firebase/messaging";
import { Platform } from "react-native";
export async function initializeFirebase() {
try {
if (Platform.OS === "ios") {
const permission = await messaging().requestPermission();
if (permission === messaging.AuthorizationStatus.AUTHORIZED) {
console.log("iOS notification permission granted");
}
}
const token = await messaging().getToken();
console.log("FCM Token:", token);
await saveTokenToBackend(token);
messaging().onTokenRefresh(async (newToken) => {
await saveTokenToBackend(newToken);
});
messaging().onMessage(async (remoteMessage) => {
console.log("Notification received:", remoteMessage);
showLocalNotification(remoteMessage);
});
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices
✅ DO
- Request permission before sending notifications
- Implement token refresh handling
- Use different notification channels by priority
- Validate tokens regularly
- Track notification delivery
- Implement deep linking
- Handle notifications in all app states
- Use silent notifications for data sync
- Store tokens securely on backend
- Provide user notification preferences
- Test on real devices
❌ DON'T
- Send excessive notifications
- Send without permission
- Store tokens insecurely
- Ignore notification failures
- Send sensitive data in payload
- Use notifications for spam
- Forget to handle background notifications
- Make blocking calls in handlers
- Send duplicate notifications
- Ignore user preferences
