I have been working on a project for quite a while and I have been using Firebase in it. I have implemented every Firebase stuff that is required by the app. But the only thing, I am stuck at is, FCM.
Basically, I have two apps linked to the Firebase project. One is a consumer app and other is an admin app. Now,I am trying to notify an admin about whenever a new order arrives or whenever a user wants to chat with them. I have successfully been able to notify a user by the consumer app using node js and Firebase functions, but I am not able to notify an admin. Both the apps have different package names. But whenever, a trigger, which is supposed to notify an admin, occurs, it sends the notification to the consumer app rather than the admin app.
I have been researching for quite sometime about this, and the only thing I can gather about it, is that I should use topics. But I wonder, if I use topics, will it still send the notification to the consumer app. Therefore, I need to ask whether I can send a FCM notification to a particular package name using node.js. and if this is not possible, how can I actually make it happen. Thanks a lot in advance
Edit 1: Here is my index.js code:
const functions = require('firebase-functions');
const admin = require('firebase-admin');
admin.initializeApp(functions.config().firebase);
exports.sendNotification = functions.database.ref('/notifications/{user_id}/{notification_id}').onWrite(event => {
const user_id = event.params.user_id;
const notification = event.params.notification_id;
if(!event.data.val()){
return console.log('A Notification has been deleted from Firebase');
}
console.log('The User ID is : ', user_id);
const fromUser = admin.database().ref(`/notifications/${user_id}/${notification}`).once('value');
return fromUser.then(fromUserResult => {
const from_user_name = fromUserResult.val().from;
const msg_type = fromUserResult.val().type;
const message = fromUserResult.val().msg;
console.log('Notification from: ', from_user_name);
const deviceToken = admin.database().ref(`/Users/${user_id}`).once('value');
console.log('Created deviceToken');
return deviceToken.then (result => {
const token_id = result.val().device_token;
const order_id = result.val().order_id;
console.log('Token ID: ', token_id);
var payload;
const token_id_aman = "eDYB-...ClU";
if (msg_type == "text") {
payload = {
notification: {
title : `New message from ${from_user_name}`,
body: `${from_user_name}: ${message}`,
icon: "default",
tag: "text",
sound: "default",
click_action: "com.androidsword.techno.miniclip_TARGET_CHAT_NOTIFICATION"
},
data: {
order_id: order_id,
user_id: user_id,
device_token: token_id
}
};
if (from_user_name != "Admin") {
payload = {
notification: {
title : `New message from ${from_user_name}`,
body: `${from_user_name}: ${message}`,
icon: "default",
tag: "text",
sound: "default",
click_action: "com.androidsword.techno.adminminiclip_TARGET_NOTIFICATION"
},
data: {
order_id: `${order_id}`,
user_id:`${user_id}`,
device_token:`${token_id}`
}
};
return admin.messaging().sendToDevice(token_id_aman, payload).then(response => {
console.log('This was a notification feature to Admin');
});
}
}
else if (msg_type == "status_changed") {
payload = {
notification: {
title : `Order Status Changed`,
body: `${message}`,
icon: "default",
tag: "status_changed",
sound: "default",
}
};
}
else if (msg_type == "order") {
payload = {
notification: {
title : `New Order`,
body: `A new order has arrived`,
icon: "default",
tag: "order",
sound: "default",
}
};
return admin.messaging().sendToDevice(token_id_aman, payload).then(response => {
console.log('This was a notification feature to Admin to inform about new order');
});
}
return admin.messaging().sendToDevice(token_id, payload).then(response => {
console.log('This was a notification feature');
});
});
});
});
