Why your Push Notifications never see the light of day
- finchisko 9y agoAre you sure you are not doing something wrong? IMO push notification doesn't need any app background service to work. They should be managed by system. When app is not running OS will display message which when clicked will open your app.
- metalwihen 9y agoBroadcast Receivers listen for push notifications. When a message is received, Service is started which are responsible for showing the notification as UI. Developers can rely on SDKs to take care of this for them but the steps are still the same. The article points out a behaviour in some devices where the services do not get started because the stock ROM blocks the app. This in turn blocks the showing of the notification as UI.
