Android Question B4A: Firebase, GeoFire and Notifications

[netkomm]

Hello,

I was wondering if it's possible to send "geofenced" notifications to a device supporting Firebase Geofire.

I was also thinking: is it possible to send "silent notifications" using Firebase to a device and, let the device present a local notification in case it happens to be in a certain area? (since we could analyse the location and calculate if it's in the given fence or not.)

Not sure about GeoFire. I don't see it in the services offered by Google.

is it possible to send "silent notifications" using Firebase to a device and, let the device present a local notification in case it happens to be in a certain area?

Yes. Android notifications are always "silent".
