Hello,
a few years ago I made an app in B4A that used the google push API. Now I am working on a new app that also needs push notifications. But I can not figure out how it all works. I searched a
million times but don't get any proper tutorial on how to even activate that and get the API key for the push notifications. I can not remember it being that weird and unintuitive.
Does anyone now a current tut that explains it and maybe some example apps? I keep finding firebase stuff. Is this the current way how to do push notifications?
Thanks

you must get your code from firebase cloud message to send the messages.

Thanks for the answers. So I got it so far as to receive a notification on in my app. But there is no data in the notification. Also I need to address one individual phone. So how can I obtain the device ID and send it to my server to store together with a user profile?
What I want to do is that a user logs in to a website and do stuff. When done I would like to alert that users phone. I got a php script to do the API request but I am missing the device ID.
