Android Question Help! - How do I send Firebase messages from B4A and B4i

Google has deprecated the previous method of sending push notifications. It will stop working on June 2024. If you have an already working solution then you only need to update the B4J side. Do make sure that you switched from the service to a receiver on B4A. The new API is (confusingly) named...

With all my Apps with their corresponding topics and Key loaded.

It makes it easier to send broadcast messages to any of your apps, anywhere without B4J or Computer.

Edit: And it's a personal app, not published in the store
