How to send push notification to android using php code?

Question

I am integrating android push notification is working fine on the client side. Do I want to make server push notification using PHP? Please suggest if you know about the same.

Are you using Firebase Cloud Messaging? – Naz141 Nov 30 '17 at 07:18 — Naz141, Nov 30 '17 at 07:18

This is the source code that I have been referring to for my development. You can try it on phpfiddle. Reference: Push notification (PHP). You can check payload notification for firebase here.

<?php

define( 'API_ACCESS_KEY', 'AIza......Xhdsnkf' ); // get API access 
key from Google/Firebase API's Console

$registrationIds = array( 'cyMSGTKBzwU:APA91...xMKgjgN32WfoJY6mI' ); //Replace this with your device token


// Modify custom payload here
$msg = array
(
        'mesgTitle'     => 'SMART TESTING',
        'alert'         => 'This is sample notification'

);
$fields = array
(
    'registration_ids'      => $registrationIds,
    'data'                  => $msg
);

$headers = array
(
    'Authorization: key=' . API_ACCESS_KEY,
    'Content-Type: application/json'
);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_URL, 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send' ); //For firebase, use https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send

curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POST, true );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false );
curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode( $fields ) );
$result = curl_exec($ch );
curl_close( $ch );
echo $result;

?>

Thanks. Can you say how to set android notification badge on the same message fields?? — Vinil Lakkavatri, Nov 30 '17 at 09:26

This piece of code to send notification to android devices from Firebase using PHP

$server_key=""; // get this from Firebase project settings->Cloud Messaging
$user_token=""; // Token generated from Android device after setting up firebase
$title="New Message";
$n_msg="The is a message";

$ndata = array('title'=>$title,'body'=>$n_msg);

$url = 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send';

$fields = array();
$fields['data'] = $ndata;

$fields['to'] = $user_token;
$headers = array(
    'Content-Type:application/json',
  'Authorization:key='.$server_key
);

$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($fields));
$result = curl_exec($ch);
if ($result === FALSE) {
    die('FCM Send Error: ' . curl_error($ch));
}
curl_close($ch);

Please don't post only code as answer, but also provide an explanation what your code does and how it solves the problem of the question. Answers with an explanation are usually more helpful and of better quality, and are more likely to attract upvotes. — Pouria Hemi, Nov 24 '20 at 12:17
This isn't useful. What is a registration id? They're not defined in your example nor do you give any advice on how to get them. — Richie, Jan 27 '21 at 19:10
