Send push to Android by C# using FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging)
firebase cloud messaging with c#: working all .net platform (asp.net, .netmvc, .netcore)
WebRequest tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
//serverKey - Key from Firebase cloud messaging server
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", "AIXXXXXX...."));
//Sender Id - From firebase project setting
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", "XXXXX.."));
tRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
var payload = new
{
to = "e8EHtMwqsZY:APA91bFUktufXdsDLdXXXXXX..........XXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
priority = "high",
content_available = true,
notification = new
{
body = "Test",
title = "Test",
badge = 1
},
data = new
{
key1 = "value1",
key2 = "value2"
}
};
string postbody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payload).ToString();
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postbody);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = tResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
if (dataStreamResponse != null) using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse))
{
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
//result.Response = sResponseFromServer;
}
}
}
}
Here is another approach of writing Notification Service inside ASP.Net REST API.
public async Task<bool> NotifyAsync(string to, string title, string body)
{
try
{
// Get the server key from FCM console
var serverKey = string.Format("key={0}", "Your server key - use app config");
// Get the sender id from FCM console
var senderId = string.Format("id={0}", "Your sender id - use app config");
var data = new
{
to, // Recipient device token
notification = new { title, body }
};
// Using Newtonsoft.Json
var jsonBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
using (var httpRequest = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send"))
{
httpRequest.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", serverKey);
httpRequest.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Sender", senderId);
httpRequest.Content = new StringContent(jsonBody, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
var result = await httpClient.SendAsync(httpRequest);
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
return true;
}
else
{
// Use result.StatusCode to handle failure
// Your custom error handler here
_logger.LogError($"Error sending notification. Status Code: {result.StatusCode}");
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError($"Exception thrown in Notify Service: {ex}");
}
return false;
}
