I would like to push notification from google home app before do an vocal action
example: I dev an banking application, i want to ask by vocal command " transfer 10000$ to John Doe"
at this moment, i want a notification on my phone for confirm the transaction
someone knows about which function use ?
Thanks
There is nothing in the Actions on Google platform that will do this directly, although you have a few potential ways to approach this.
As part of the conversation, you can confirm if they are talking to you through a mobile device. If they aren't, you can prompt them to continue the conversation there. Once they are on a mobile device, you can send a card that links to a URL which will let them authorize the transaction.
You can also use something like FCM to send the notification to their mobile platform when they reach that stage in the conversation. The notification would take them to your app or website to authorize the transaction.

I have the following problem.
I look for a capability to delete a push notification from a device (iPhone respectively Apple Watch) but this device have receive the push notification.
The use case is that a USER A send a request to all available USER Bs. A push notification is send to all these USER Bs. At the moment the push notification arrive it will shown on their Apple Watch. One of the USER Bs answer that he accept this request. After he press the button to accept the request the notification should be deleted on all the other devices.
I really do not know a capability to do this.
But I know that you can handle this problem in Android as provide a unique ID for this notification. After that you can delete the other notifications with this particular ID.
Is their maybe a same way for iOS like it is provided in Android?
This doesn't really have anything to do with WatchKit/Apple Watch.
To answer your main question: no, you can't do this as it describe. Once you fire off a notification, it's in the user's hands to decide what they want to do with it.
As an alternative, you could maintain an "inbox" with every notification in your app and use the notification to prompt the user to check it. That way you could remove a notification from the inbox on the server side of things.
My question can seems weird, but I just realize that when I receive a push for a new mail from Gmail app and I open Gmail on a web page, the notification disappear.
Can someone explain me how this is working ?
This is related to this question, though it's not an exact duplicate.
This can be implemented with Apple Push Notifications.
Your server has to maintain for each user a list of device tokens of all the devices belonging to that user (iPhones, iPads, etc...).
When the user reads the message on one platform (whether via a web browser or via a mobile application), you can execute some API call on your server to notify it that the user read the message.
Then your server can send a follow-up push notification to all the devices belonging to that user with "badge"=0 (and without the "alert" and "sound" fields), and the notification will be cleared from the lock screen and app icon.
One possibility is that they use notifications delivered in the background (they get delivered directly to the app rather than being shown to the user), then use local notifications. Local notifications can be cancelled.
So it would go like this:
remote notification "there's a new e-mail" delivered in the background
local notification "new email"
...
you connect to the website
remote notification "user has seen new e-mail" delivered in the background
cancel local notification
I've never actually tried to do this, but I suppose that would be the way it works. I'm not aware of any (documented) way to cancel a remote notification directly.
This is the first time that I approach the push notification service and I'm little bit confused. I 'd like to have just some conceptual help, not code.
I need to build an app that should receive and register for different kind of notifications. For instance in my app I'd like that users could register for PROMO notifications category and NEWS notifications category, I'd like that they could choose which one they want to be notified.
Reading the Apple doc, that was not so clear to me, it seems that once the app device is registered I receive just one token and seems impossible to receive more tokens for different kind of registration(NEWS and PROMO for instance), because the token is related to the app and the device. Is that correct?
The other thing that is not so clear to me is, if a device is registered for a specific notification is it possible to send the notification only to a set o devices?
If nothing of that is offered by Apple Push services do you think that is possible to manage everything like that:
-I register the app device for notification if (PROMO || NEWS) are selected
-I get the token
-I send the token to my server giving also as additional info about the service which the user wants to subscribe
-The server (provider) register the token and the kind of subscription (PROMO || NEWS)
-Later when I have a notification to push I ask the server all the tokens registered for that specific category and then I send the notification only to those devices registered for that category.
Thanks for helping me out I'm really confused.

YES

YES, you need a DB where you connect a Push Token with the related Services (promo | news). If you have a new Promo Push Message you send the message to all related token. on the app site, everytime the user change the categorie (promo / news) you should prpvide these infos to your service with the push token.
These are all problems that you have to solve yourself on the server side. The push service simply provides a means to send a single message to a single device. You have to figure out yourself which messages you want to send to which devices. Each message has to be sent individually, there's no way to "broadcast" a message to all your users directly.
You could think of the push tokens as email addresses – of course, one email address might be subscribed to different newsletters from the same publisher, but it's the publisher's job (yours) to figure out whom to send which newsletters, not the email provider's (Apple's).
You should think of the push notification registration like my I send the user push notifications. Not what kind of push notification can I send the user.
Then you need to do serverside filtering on you categories, like the ones in your example promo and news.
The perferance of the user should be stored on your server, so you will know what kind of notification to send to which user.
I have an app where I would like to select a user in my contacts. If that person has my app installed, then I would like to send some data that is relevant for this app using a notification. The other user gets the notification, and acts on it within this app. Is that possible? I am thinking that if I can identify that users device, I can store this message in a server. When the user connects to the app, it will retrieve and get this users message from the server. But question is can I identify other devices like this, from my contact list. Can I send this notification using phone number instead of device id?
Please help.
Thank you,
Anks
No, you cannot. You have to have the Apple Push Token for a device and the user has to have notifications turned on to be able to receive notifications from Apple Push.
You would need to maintain a server side database linking the APNS Token to a specific user account. There are a lot of dots to connect with this kind of implmentation. Your better bet would be maintaining a "list of contacts" within your App to link contacts to.
I have just heard that - " push notification " is possible in iPhone
I need following details.
what is push notification ?
How it works ?
What does it requires ?
Any sample code link is available ?
Any documentation link if available ?
Some guidance/tips from "StackOverFlow Masters" about developing the above requirements.
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge with Stackoverflow family & me.
The sort of background processing you're looking to do is not possible with push notification.
Push notification allows you to notify the user of something. An example would be a Twitter client that sends a notification when the user receives a direct message on Twitter.
Push notification can not react to things happening on the iPhone when the app is not running. Instead, it depends on you having a server that determines when to send a notification and then sends one.
I'm not seeing any need for background processing in your application. If you store the user's initial location, the next time the app loads you can get their location and calculate the distance between the two. If you're looking for the route travelled, you're out of luck unless you make a deal with AT&T like Loopt just did.
Push notification is not really for that purpose, you should read up on push notification in apples site here http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/NetworkingInternet/Conceptual/RemoteNotificationsPG/Introduction/Introduction.html, its more for when theres data like a m essage for your user, you can have the user get it without having them open t he application. Now for your purpose, why cant you store the location when htey close the app, once the reopen the app you can reget a location, use the previous location and the new location to calculate the km travelled?
Although only tangentially related to this discussion, I think you might be interested in Loopt's agreement with AT&T to track user's iPhones (for a monthly fee).
Apple Push Notification service (APNs for short) is the centerpiece of the push notifications feature. It is a robust and highly efficient service for propagating information to devices such as iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch devices. Each device establishes an accredited and encrypted IP connection with the service and receives notifications over this persistent connection. If a notification for an application arrives when that application is not running, the device alerts the user that the application has data waiting for it.
Software developers (“providers”) originate the notifications in their server software. The provider connects with APNs through a persistent and secure channel while monitoring incoming data intended for their client applications. When new data for an application arrives, the provider prepares and sends a notification through the channel to APNs, which pushes the notification to the target device.
