Key capabilities

Notifications integrates closely with Firebase Analytics, allowing you to target notifications by custom audience. Also, you can target predefined user segments for app, version, and language. With notifications targeted to user segments, you can contact exactly the right user audience for updates on available upgrades, new features, or other news.

How does it work?

Use the Notifications console GUI to compose and send notifications to all supported message targets. Firebase Cloud Messaging handles the routing and delivery to targeted devices.

When your app is in the background on a user's device, notifications are delivered to the system tray. When a user taps on the notification, the app launcher opens your app. If you want, you can also add client message handling to receive notifications in your app when it is already in the foreground on the user's device.

Implementation path

Next steps

• Follow the iOS or Android guides to add the FCM SDK as a dependency in your app, and try sending a notification to the predefined version user segment. Select the version of the app you're developing, and the notification is delivered on your test devices.

• Run the FCM quickstart for iOS or Android. These samples illustrate how to use the Notifications console to send a message to a single device.
