1. The library is FirebaseNotifications and it is an internal library included in the IDE. I don't remember whether it was included with v7.80 (and whether it supports that version).

2. You will need to send the tokens to your server and then send the messages to specific tokens. Another option is to register the devices with unique topics.
Check @DonManfred's example: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/firebase-store-token.85773/#post-543473

You can download the trial version. It should be included. It will be difficult to get Firebase working with B4A v7.80.

I have purchased the latest b4A v9.5 yesterday.
But there is a problem as below :
Public Sub SubscribeToTopics
Log("SubscribeToTopics")
fm.SubscribeToTopic(Starter.Phone.GetSettings("android_id")) 'you can subscribe to more topics
fm.SubscribeToTopic("general") 'you can subscribe to more topics
CheckToken
End Sub
Error shows unkown member: Phone. Althought the phone library is added.
This problem does not show up in b4A-trial (v9.5).
Can u pl. help.

Please use [code]code here...[/code] tags when posting code.

Looks like a mistake as this will return a fake and non-unique id on new devices.

Add to Process_Globals of the starter service:

B4X:

Public Phone As Phone

A better solution is to get the push token and use it to send to specific devices.

It is better to start a new thread for this question as it is not strictly related to push notifications.

You have two options:
1. Use NB6.
2. Put a readonly image in Objects\res\drawable and change Notification.Icon = "icon" with the new file name (without extension).
