Mobile Push Notifications API for PubNub Java SDK

Mobile Push Notifications 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 Notifications feature, developers can eliminate the need for developing, configuring, and maintaining additional server-side components for third-party push notification providers.

Add 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.

Enable mobile push notifications on provided set of channels.

Method(s)

To run Adding Device to Channel you can use the following method(s) in the Java 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.APNS, PNPushType.APNS2
channels	List<String>	Yes	Add mobile push notifications on the specified channels.
deviceId	String	Yes	The device ID (token) to associate with mobile 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

Add Device to Channel

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.
        }
    });

Returns

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().

List 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.

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 Java 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.APNS, PNPushType.APNS2
deviceId	String	Yes	The device ID (token) to associate with mobile 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

List Channels For Device

pubnub.auditPushChannelProvisions()
    .deviceId("googleDevice")
    .pushType(PNPushType.FCM)
    .async(new PNCallback<PNPushListProvisionsResult>() {
        @Override
        public void onResponse(PNPushListProvisionsResult result, PNStatus status) {

        }
    });

Returns

The auditPushChannelProvisions() operation returns a PNPushListProvisionsResult which contains the following operations:

Method	Type	Description
getChannels()	List<String>	List of channels associated for mobile push notifications.

Remove Device From Channel

Requires Mobile Push Notifications add-on

Method(s)

To run Removing Device From Channel you can use the following method(s) in the Java SDK:

pubnub.removePushNotificationsFromChannels()
    .pushType(PNPushType)
    .deviceId(String)
    .topic(String)
    .environment(PNPushEnvironment)
