FCM

In this area you can set up Firebase Cloud Messaging service for your Android apps. This service will be responsible for delivering push remote notifications. In this area you will be able to upload a Service Account file which contains all the information we need to start sending notifications on your behalf.

Under the Settings menu, you should start by clicking in Services:

You should then click in the Configure button from the following box:

Notificare will use Firebase Cloud Messaging v1 API to send notifications to Android apps. For FCM v1, you will need to generate a service account, generate a key and export a JSON file that you will upload into Notificare. To learn how to generate these files please read this page.

Once you have a .json file, upload it in the following field:

Once you upload a valid file, you will see the contents of the uploaded file:

Finally, hit the Save button to store your Auth Key:

If everything is correct, you will then see your stored Auth Key as follows:

You can also delete your current Service Account, by clicking the button in the top right corner.

Notificare also still supports the deprecated Google Cloud Messaging legacy API too. If you already uploaded a Server Key before, you will be able to see your Server Key, but we will not allow you to upload new Server Keys anymore:

Please note that the Google Cloud Messaging legacy API will not work anymore after June 2024, so you should consider using a Service Account instead. We will use a Service Account to connect to FCM v1 even when a Server Key was provided.
