Push Notifications API for PubNub Android SDK
PubNub's Mobile Push Gateway feature enables developers to bridge native PubNub publishing with 3rd-party push notification services including Google Android FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and Apple iOS APNs (Apple Push Notification service).
By using the Mobile Push Gateway, developers can eliminate the need for developing, configuring, and maintaining additional server-side components for third-party push notification providers.

Adding Device to Channel
Requires Mobile Push Notifications add-on
This method requires that the Mobile Push Notifications add-on is enabled for your key in the Admin Portal. Read the support page on enabling add-on features on your keys.
Description
Enable push notifications on provided set of channels.
Method(s)
To run Adding Device to Channel
you can use the following method(s) in the Android V4 SDK:
pubnub.addPushNotificationsOnChannels().pushType(PNPushType).channels(List<String>).deviceId(String).topic(String).environment(PNPushEnvironment)
Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
pushType | PNPushType | Yes | Accepted values: PNPushType.FCM , PNPushType.GCM , PNPushType.APNS2 |
channels | List<String> | Yes | Add push notifications on the specified channels. |
deviceId | String | Yes | The device ID (token) to associate with push notifications. |
topic | String | Optional | Notifications topic name (usually it is bundle identifier of application for Apple platform). Required only if pushType set to APNS2 . |
environment | PNPushEnvironment | Optional | Environment within which device should manage list of channels with enabled notifications (works only if pushType set to APNS2 ). |
async | PNCallback<PNPushAddChannelResult> | Optional | PNCallback of type PNPushAddChannelResult . |
Basic Usage
Adding Device to Channel
// for FCM/GCM
pubnub.addPushNotificationsOnChannels()
.pushType(PNPushType.FCM)
.channels(Arrays.asList("ch1", "ch2", "ch3"))
.deviceId("googleDevice")
.async(new PNCallback<PNPushAddChannelResult>() {
@Override
public void onResponse(PNPushAddChannelResult result, PNStatus status) {
// handle response.
}
});
// for APNS2
pubnub.addPushNotificationsOnChannels()
.pushType(PNPushType.APNS2)
show all 23 linesReturns
The addPushNotificationsOnChannels()
does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.isError()
.
Listing Channels For Device
Requires Mobile Push Notifications add-on
This method requires that the Mobile Push Notifications add-on is enabled for your key in the Admin Portal. Read the support page on enabling add-on features on your keys.
Description
Request for all channels on which push notification has been enabled using specified pushToken.
Method(s)
To run Listing Channels For Device
you can use the following method(s) in the Android V4 SDK:
pubnub.auditPushChannelProvisions().pushType(PNPushType).deviceId(String).topic(String).environment(PNPushEnvironment)
Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
---|---|---|---|
pushType | PNPushType | Yes | Accepted values: PNPushType.FCM , PNPushType.GCM , PNPushType.APNS2 |
deviceId | String | Yes | The device ID (token) to associate with push notifications. |
topic | String | Optional | Notifications topic name (usually it is bundle identifier of application for Apple platform). Required only if pushType set to APNS2 . |
environment | PNPushEnvironment | Optional | Environment within which device should manage list of channels with enabled notifications (works only if pushType set to APNS2 ). |
async | PNCallback<PNPushListProvisionsResult> | Optional | PNCallback of type PNPushListProvisionsResult . |
Basic Usage
Listing Channels For Device

}
});
// for APNS2
pubnub.auditPushChannelProvisions()
.deviceId("appleDevice")
.pushType(PNPushType.APNS2)
show all 23 linesReturns
The auditPushChannelProvisions()
operation returns a PNPushListProvisionsResult
which contains the following operations:
Method | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
getChannels() | List<String> | List of channels associated for push notifications. |
