I still can't work out how to send push notifications. So far I have firebase working on B4A. I have setup a firebase account, created a new project with the apps project name, downloaded the JSON file. But I can't find the correct code or understanding of how push notifications work.

So say you created an app and you wanted to notify all users that were running this app of some event, how do I do this. Does the notification come locally from the users app or it come from a server or the firebase website. How does it work?

Am I correct in saying your app connect to a server running a PHP script
No. The Server side is a B4J App which sends the Notification. You can use any language to send the Notification as long as you are sending the Messages in the correct format.
See the B4J App...

So you don't need firebase?

Then what is the point of firebase?
