I am writing a c# service that will allow me to send push notifications using FCM. Now, everything works fine but then I want to send bulk push notification using FCM.
I want to be able to send the same message to multiple devices at once. The current takes one registration token and then goes through the whole process and then goes to the next one. But this will be useless if I have to send push notification to many numbers at once. What should be my best option?
c# code
public String SendPushNotification(string regtoken)
{
try
{
string applicationID = "#############3";
string senderId = "##########";
string deviceId = regtoken;
WebRequest tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
var data = new
{
to = deviceId,
notification = new
{
body = message,
title = "",
sound = ""
}
};
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var json = serializer.Serialize(data);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", applicationID));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", senderId));
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = tResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse))
{
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
String str = sResponseFromServer;
}
}
}
status = statusmessages();
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string str = ex.Message;
status = "failure";
}
return status;
}
