firebase::messaging

Firebase Cloud Messaging API.

Summary

Firebase Cloud Messaging allows you to send data from your server to your users' devices, and receive messages from devices on the same connection if you're using a XMPP server.

The FCM service handles all aspects of queueing of messages and delivery to client applications running on target devices.

Functions

DeleteToken

Future< void > DeleteToken()

Deletes the default token for this Firebase project.

Note that this does not delete the Firebase Installations ID that may have been created when generating the token. See Installations.Delete() for deleting that.

Details
Returns
A future that completes when the token is deleted.

DeleteTokenLastResult

Future< void > DeleteTokenLastResult()

Gets the result of the most recent call to DeleteToken();.

Details
Returns
Result of the most recent call to DeleteToken().

DeliveryMetricsExportToBigQueryEnabled

bool DeliveryMetricsExportToBigQueryEnabled()

Determines whether Firebase Cloud Messaging exports message delivery metrics to BigQuery.

This function is currently only implemented on Android, and returns false with no other behavior on other platforms.

Details
Returns
true if Firebase Cloud Messaging exports message delivery metrics to BigQuery.

GetToken

Future< std::string > GetToken()

This creates a Firebase Installations ID, if one does not exist, and sends information about the application and the device where it's running to the Firebase backend.

Details
Returns
A future with the token.

GetTokenLastResult

Future< std::string > GetTokenLastResult()

Gets the result of the most recent call to GetToken();.

Details
Returns
Result of the most recent call to GetToken().

Initialize

InitResult Initialize(
  const App & app,
  Listener *listener
)

Initialize Firebase Cloud Messaging.

After Initialize is called, the implementation may call functions on the Listener provided at any time.

Details
Parameters
app
The Firebase App object for this application.
listener
A Listener object that listens for events from the Firebase Cloud Messaging servers.
Returns
kInitResultSuccess if initialization succeeded, or kInitResultFailedMissingDependency on Android if Google Play services is not available on the current device.

Initialize

InitResult Initialize(
  const App & app,
  Listener *listener,
  const MessagingOptions & options
)

Initialize Firebase Cloud Messaging.

After Initialize is called, the implementation may call functions on the Listener provided at any time.

Details
Parameters
app
The Firebase App object for this application.
listener
A Listener object that listens for events from the Firebase Cloud Messaging servers.
options
A set of options that configure the initialzation behavior of Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Returns
kInitResultSuccess if initialization succeeded, or kInitResultFailedMissingDependency on Android if Google Play services is not available on the current device.

IsTokenRegistrationOnInitEnabled

bool IsTokenRegistrationOnInitEnabled()

Determines if automatic token registration during initalization is enabled.

Details
Returns
true if auto token registration is enabled and false if disabled.

RequestPermission

Future< void > RequestPermission()

Displays a prompt to the user requesting permission to display notifications.

The permission prompt only appears on iOS and tvOS. If the user has already agreed to allow notifications, no prompt is displayed and the returned future is completed immediately.

Details
Returns
A future that completes when the notification prompt has been dismissed.

RequestPermissionLastResult

Future< void > RequestPermissionLastResult()

Gets the result of the most recent call to RequestPermission();.

Details
Returns
Result of the most recent call to RequestPermission().

SetDeliveryMetricsExportToBigQuery

void SetDeliveryMetricsExportToBigQuery(
  bool enable
)

Enables or disables Firebase Cloud Messaging message delivery metrics export to BigQuery.

By default, message delivery metrics are not exported to BigQuery. Use this method to enable or disable the export at runtime. In addition, you can enable the export by adding to your manifest. Note that the run-time method call will override the manifest value.

This function is currently only implemented on Android, and has no behavior on other platforms.

Details
Parameters
enable
Whether Firebase Cloud Messaging should export message delivery metrics to BigQuery.

SetListener

Listener * SetListener(
  Listener *listener
)

Set the listener for events from the Firebase Cloud Messaging servers.

A listener must be set for the application to receive messages from the Firebase Cloud Messaging servers. The implementation may call functions on the Listener provided at any time.

Details
Parameters
listener
A Listener object that listens for events from the Firebase Cloud Messaging servers.
Returns
Pointer to the previously set listener.

SetTokenRegistrationOnInitEnabled

void SetTokenRegistrationOnInitEnabled(
  bool enable
)

Enable or disable token registration during initialization of Firebase Cloud Messaging.

This token is what identifies the user to Firebase, so disabling this avoids creating any new identity and automatically sending it to Firebase, unless consent has been granted.

If this setting is enabled, it triggers the token registration refresh immediately. This setting is persisted across app restarts and overrides the setting "firebase_messaging_auto_init_enabled" specified in your Android manifest (on Android) or Info.plist (on iOS and tvOS).

By default, token registration during initialization is enabled.

The registration happens before you can programmatically disable it, so if you need to change the default, (for example, because you want to prompt the user before FCM generates/refreshes a registration token on app startup), add to your application’s manifest:

<meta-data android:name="firebase_messaging_auto_init_enabled"
android:value="false" />

or on iOS or tvOS to your Info.plist:

<key>FirebaseMessagingAutoInitEnabled</key>
<false/>

Details
Parameters
enable
sets if a registration token should be requested on initialization.

Subscribe

Future< void > Subscribe(
  const char *topic
)

Subscribe to receive all messages to the specified topic.

Subscribes an app instance to a topic, enabling it to receive messages sent to that topic.

Call this function from the main thread. FCM is not thread safe.

Details

SubscribeLastResult

Future< void > SubscribeLastResult()

Gets the result of the most recent call to Unsubscribe();.

Details
Returns
Result of the most recent call to Unsubscribe().

Terminate

void Terminate()

Terminate Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Frees resources associated with Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Unsubscribe

Future< void > Unsubscribe(
  const char *topic
)

Unsubscribe from a topic.

Unsubscribes an app instance from a topic, stopping it from receiving any further messages sent to that topic.

Call this function from the main thread. FCM is not thread safe.
