Configure Push Notification for your Android App | Zoho Creator Help

Configure push notifications for your Android app

This help page is for users in Creator 6. If you are in the older version (Creator 5), click here. Know your Creator version.
Note: Firebase Cloud Messaging server key has been deprecated on June 21, 2024. To continue using push notifications, update your new service account JSON file (FSA file) instead of the deprecated FCM server key before the above mentioned date.  

Configure push notifications for your Android app

As part of your Creator application’s workflows, you can configure push notifications for your Android app.

Prerequisites 

  • You need to configure your Android app in the Firebase. Refer to  https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/client  for configuring Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for your Android app completely. 
  • The instructions in this page assume that you have installed Creator's core library or UI library for the required type of mobile app (user or customer) - links are available in  this  section.

Configure push notifications

  1. Navigate to  Mobile  section on the left pane and click the SDK  tab.
  2. Click on the required row of the Android app for which push notifications need to be configured. 

  3. This opens the  For Users/For Customers - SDK  pane on the right side.
  4. Click the Enable link beside  Push Notification. For existing users, click the Update link to update the Firebase Service Account file.

  5. The Push Notification pop-up will appear.
  6. Upload the Firebase Account Config file and the Package Name. Click Enable.

  7. Enter your Android app’s package name. For example: com.example.zylkermanagement.
  8. Click Enable.

Upon successful configuration, your Android app will get mapped with Zoho Creator's server, which will allow your end-users to receive push notifications triggered from the workflows of your Creator application.

To remove the push notification configuration

Note: Removing this configuration will cause your Android app’s users to stop receiving push notifications that are triggered by the workflows in your Creator application.

  1. Click the trash icon next to Push Notification.

  2. Click Remove to proceed.
    Note: Removing this configuration will cause your Android app’s users to stop receiving push notifications that are triggered in your Creator application.
