I've been wanting a GCM/FCM alternative, could mqtt be used for notifications like that? I understand its usually used for IOT devices and stuff so I assume its suitable for not using loads of power
- malermeister 5y agoThats what Facebook Messenger uses. Downside to this is that only FCM can work around android's power saving mechanisms and deliver instantly... unless you're Facebook and able to convince vendors to patch the firmware for your servers too ;)
- holoduke 5y agoYep. Another real concrete example of an unwanted monopoly. We have issues with fcm, we are sending about 10m per day for millions of users. About 1 to 3% never arrives. Ends up in the void. Google doesn't want to help. We are not Facebook. But no alternative. A pity
- malermeister 5y ago97% is actually a really good delivery rate. From my experience working on several push-based products, ~80% is the industry standard.
