I was wondering if Flutter has the ability to generate push notifications from within the app. If so is there a code example of this?
Description:
An event occurs on the flutter app such as a button being clicked or an if statement being triggered, I want a push notification sent to the user.
The app should also always be running in the background, is this possible? If so can you provide me a link with an example of this implementation.
Thanks in advance for all the help!
I have looked on google but I haven't been able to find a lot of information regarding these two topics.
Being an iOS engineer, I'd say that you actually want local notifications. Push notifications are usually being sent by a server.
You could check how it's usually done on iOS natively: developer.apple.com.

Currently working on a dashboard that controls and manages multiple processes going on in a flutter app (the link between them is firebase). Once I make a few adjustments on the dashboard, I want to be able to notify the user through a notification. Is this possible? Are there any useful resources for this?
Everything you need to know is present in the official Firebase Cloud messaging documentation :
https://firebase.flutter.dev/docs/messaging/overview/
Follow every steps carefully and you'll make it successfully work ;)
I am wanting to develop an app similar to 'Notiduino' where it takes android notifications such as whatsapp message notifications or missed calls and retrieve them within the app. Is there any lib for this function? I searched and found nothing ...
Sorry for my bad english
Yes. You can use Overlay widgets. Combining them with a little bit of animation will give you effective UI. One example here and another is here.
You can also use Firebase in-app notification. Using Firebase in-app notification has one more advantage. You can also send push notifications from the same firebase project. Of course, relevant settings have to be made. Having said that, there are a bunch of web pages which will guide you through the step by step process.
I am building a live chat app for the iPhone, and for this it is necessary to ensure that the operator is online and to keep the flow of data going.
After much search it seams to be only two options for similar kind of behavior;
UILocalNotification, only works if I have some scheduled information notice to be sent
Push Notification, for pushing data to the phone
The problem with push notification seams to be that I cannot ensure that the user is available, or in any way talk with the app without the user re-opening it. This way it seams impossible for me to know if the user is online, to update data in the app without the user having to manually open it, etc.
So, what I ask for, is it in any way possible to keep the app active in the background thus ensuring the operator is online and notify of incoming chat sessions?
Thanks a lot for your help guys!
Unfortunately the answer is no. I take it you mean text chat and not VoIP (which CAN run in the background)? Your best bet would be Push Notifications, as you would not be able to monitor anything from the app itself when it is in the background.
Regarding push notifications. How do I get the provision from APNS to implement push notifications in to my application. Help me guys.

iOS developers love to imagine users of their awesome app using the app all day, every day. Unfortunately, the cold hard truth is that users will sometimes have to close the app and perform other activities. Laundry doesn’t fold itself, you know :]
Happily, push notifications allow developers to reach users and perform small tasks even when users aren’t actively using an app!
Push notifications have become more and more powerful since they were first introduced. In iOS 9, push notifications can:
Display a short text message
Play a notification sound
Set a badge number on the app’s icon
Provide actions the user can take without opening the app
Be silent, allowing the app to wake up in the background and perform a task
This push notifications tutorial will go over how push notifications work, and let you try out their features...
I followed the steps mentioned in raywenderlich tutorial. It's some what easy to send Push notifications to my iPhone app by using my system as the temporary server(ie, sending the message by running the PHP code from the Terminal window).
But, while going for production and dynamic messages for different users at different time, it's very tough for me to set the service in a server.
So, I go with third party server to send Push Notifications. - Parse.com
Tutorial for how to use that API.
Documentation about the installations of the application.
Here, we have a tag parse.com for questions about this process.
I'm looking for a way to get real time notification from a server in an iPhone App. I don't want to use Apple Push Notification as I have many notifications. My web service is coded in PHP, and I haven't figured out an easy way to implement this functionnality. Any idea what should I do?
Thx a lot for your help!
EDIT : I'm looking for a way to get notification only when the app is launched (otherwise, the only option IS Apple Push not.).
If the app is running you can open an http connection from the app to the server and have the server hold it open, pushing data through it when you want. This is basically how COMET works.
This will only work while your app is running. If you need the notification to happen even if the user has closed the app then Apple Push Notifications are your only option.
You must use Apple Push Notification for achieving push notifications cycle on Apple's mobile devices.
