current latest version: v10.x
-
for iOS SDK < 4, use [email protected] (v6.x is still compatible with Firebase SDK v4)
-
for RN < 0.40.0, use [email protected]
-
for RN < 0.33.0, use [email protected]
-
for RN < 0.30.0, use [email protected]
-
local notification is not only available in V1
-
An example working project is available at: https://github.com/evollu/react-native-fcm/tree/master/Examples/simple-fcm-client
-
DO NOT change Android targetSdkVersion >= 26. The notification won't show up because of notification channel requirement. If you have to upgrade, you can use sdk-26 branch and post feedback on here
- Run
npm install react-native-fcm --save
- Link libraries Note: the auto link doesn't work with xcworkspace so CocoaPods user needs to do manual linking
In firebase console, you can:
- for Android: download
google-services.json
file and place it inandroid/app
directory - for iOS: download
GoogleService-Info.plist
file and place it in/ios/your-project-name
directory (next to yourInfo.plist
)
Make sure you have certificates setup by following https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/certs
- As
react-native link
sometimes has glitches, make sure you have this line added
- Edit

MainActivity.java
. This fixes a bug
+ import android.content.Intent;
...
public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
+ @Override
+ public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
+ super.onNewIntent(intent);
+ setIntent(intent);
+ }
}
To allow android to respond to click_action
, you need to define Activities and filter on specific intent. Since all javascript is running in MainActivity, you can have MainActivity to handle actions:
Edit AndroidManifest.xml
:
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="@string/app_name"
android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
+ android:launchMode="singleTop"
android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
Notes:
launchMode="singleTop"
is to reuse MainActivity, you can usesingleTask
orsingleInstance
as well depend on your need. this link explains the behavior well- you if want to handle
click_action
you need to add custom intent-filter, check native android documentation
If you are using RN < 0.30.0 and react-native-fcm < 1.0.16, pass intent into package, edit MainActivity.java
:
- RN 0.28:
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
+ import android.content.Intent;
public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
+ @Override
+ public void onNewIntent (Intent intent) {
+ super.onNewIntent(intent);
+ setIntent(intent);
+ }
NOTE: Verify that react-native links correctly in MainApplication.java
import android.app.application
...
+import com.evollu.react.fcm.FIRMessagingPackage;
....
@Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
new MainReactPackage(),
new VectorIconsPackage(),
+ new FIRMessagingPackage(),
new RNDeviceInfo(),
);
}
- RN <= 0.27:
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
+ import android.content.Intent;
public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
+ @Override
+ protected void onNewIntent (Intent intent) {
+ super.onNewIntent(intent);
+ setIntent(intent);
+ }
Notes:
@Override
is added to update intent on notification click
Make sure you have Cocoapods version > 1.0
Configure the project:
cd ios && pod init
(In case of syntax errors, open YOURApp.xcodeproj/project.pbxproj
and fix them.)
Edit the newly created Podfile
:
# Pods for YOURAPP
+ pod 'Firebase/Messaging'
Install the Firebase/Messaging
pod:
pod install
NOTE: you don't need to enable use_frameworks!
. if you have to have use_frameworks!
make sure you don't have inherit! :search_paths
NOTE: there is a working example in master
branch
- Follow the instruction on Integrate without CocoaPods.
- Import libraries, add Capabilities (background running and push notification), upload APNS and etc etc etc...
- Put frameworks under
ios/Frameworks
folder, and drag those files into your xcode solution -> Frameworks - Put
firebase.h
andmodule.modulemap
underios/Frameworks
folder, no need to drag into solution - Modify your project's
User Header Search Paths
and add$(PROJECT_DIR)/Frameworks
Edit AppDelegate.h

- Select your project Capabilities and enable:
- Push Notifications
- Background Modes > Remote notifications.
This instruction assumes that you have FirebaseAppDelegateProxyEnabled=YES (default) so that Firebase will hook on push notification registration events. If you turn this flag off, you will be on your own to manage APNS tokens and link with Firebase token.
NOTE: local notification does NOT have any dependency on FCM library but you still need to include Firebase to compile. If there are enough demand to use this functionality alone, I will separate it out into another repo

Firebase android misses important feature of android notification like group
, priority
and etc. As a work around you can send data message (no notification
payload at all) and this repo will build a local notification for you. If you pass custom_notification
in the payload, the repo will treat the content as a local notification config and shows immediately.
NOTE: By using this work around, you will have to send different types of payload for iOS and Android devices because custom_notification isn't supported on iOS
WARNING: custom_notification
cannot be used together with notification
attribute. use data
ALONE
Example of payload that is sent to FCM server:
{
"to":"FCM_TOKEN",
"data": {
"type":"MEASURE_CHANGE",
"custom_notification": {
"body": "test body",
"title": "test title",
"color":"#00ACD4",
"priority":"high",
"icon":"ic_notif",
"group": "GROUP",
"id": "id",
"show_in_foreground": true
}
}
}
Check local notification guide below for configuration.
IMPORTANT: When using the admin.messaging
API, you need to JSON.stringify
the custom_notification
value:
let tokens = [...];
let payload = {
data: {
custom_notification: JSON.stringify({
body: 'Message body',
title: 'Message title'
...
})
}
};
let options = { priority: "high" };
admin
.messaging()
.sendToDevice(tokens, payload, options);
-
When user clicks notification to launch the application, you can get that notification by calling
FCM.getInitialNotification
. (NOTE: reloading javascript or resuming from background won't change the value) -
When app is running in background (the tricky one, I strongly suggest you try it out yourself)
-
IOS will receive notificaton from
FCMNotificationReceived
event- if you pass
content_available
flag true, you will receive one when app is in background and another one when user resume the app. more info - if you just pass
notification
, you will only receive one when user resume the app. - you will not see banner if
notification->body
is not defined.
- if you pass
-
Android will receive notificaton from
FCMNotificationReceived
event- if you pass
notification
payload, it will receive data when user click on notification - if you pass
data
payload only, it will receive data when in background
e.g. fcm payload looks like:
{ "to":"some_device_token", "content_available": true, "notification": { "title": "hello", "body": "yo", "click_action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO" }, "data": { "extra":"juice" } }
and event callback will receive as:
-
Android
{ "fcm": {"action": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"}, "opened_from_tray": 1, "extra": "juice" }
-
iOS
{ "apns": {"action_category": "fcm.ACTION.HELLO"}, "opened_from_tray": 1, "extra": "juice" }
- if you pass
-
When app is running in foreground
-
IOS will receive notification and android won't (better not to do anything in foreground for hybrid and send a separate data message.)
NOTE: it is recommended not to rely on data
payload for click_action as it can be overwritten (check this).
If your app server implements the XMPP Connection Server protocol, it can receive upstream messages from a user's device to the cloud. To initiate an upstream message, call the FCM.send()
method with your Firebase Sender ID
and a Data Object
as parameters as follows:
FCM.send('984XXXXXXXXX', {
my_custom_data_1: 'my_custom_field_value_1',
my_custom_data_2: 'my_custom_field_value_2'
});
The Data Object
is message data comprising as many key-value pairs of the message's payload as are needed (ensure that the value of each pair in the data object is a string
). Your Sender ID
is a unique numerical value generated when you created your Firebase project, it is available in the Cloud Messaging
tab of the Firebase console Settings
pane. The sender ID is used to identify each app server that can send messages to the client app.
If you want to send notification which will have actions as you defined in app it's important to correctly set it's category
(click_action
) property. It's also good to set "content-available" : 1
so app will gets enough time to handle actions in background.
So the fcm payload should look like this:
{
"to": "some_device_token",
"content_available": true,
"notification": {
"title": "Alarm",
"subtitle": "First Alarm",
"body": "First Alarm",
"click_action": "com.myapp.MyCategory" // The id of notification category which you defined with FCM.setNotificationCategories
},
"data": {
"extra": "juice"
}
}
Yes there are react-native-push-notification
and react-native-system-notification
which are great libraries. However
- We want a unified local notification library but people are reporting using react-native-push-notification with this repo has compatibility issue as
react-native-push-notification
also sets up GCM. - We want to have local notification to have similar syntax as remote notification payload.
- The PushNotificationIOS by react native team is still missing features that recurring, so we are adding it here
Try update your SDK and google play service. If you are having multiple plugins requiring different version of play-service sdk, skip conflicting group. The example project shows for how to colive with react-native-maps
compile(project(':react-native-maps')) {
exclude group: 'com.google.android.gms', module: 'play-services-base'
}
There seems to be link issue with rnpm. Make sure that there is new FIRMessagingPackage(),
in your Application.java
file
Remote notification can't reach iOS emulator since it can't fetch APNS token. Use real device.
- Make sure you've uploaded APNS certificates to Firebase and test with Firebase's native example to make sure certs are correct
- Try simple payload first, sometimes notification doesn't show up because of empty body, wrong sound name etc.
App running in background doesn't trigger FCMNotificationReceived
when receiving hybrid notification [Android]
These is an issue opened for that. Behavior is not consistent between 2 platforms
Since Lollipop, the push notification icon is required to be all white, otherwise it will be a white circle.
- Try adding Background Modes permission in Xcode->Click on project file->Capabilities tab->Background Modes->Remote Notifications
You need to add this to your android/app/proguard-rules.pro
:
# Google Play Services
-keep class com.google.android.gms.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.google.android.gms.**
I'm getting com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lcom/google/android/gms/internal/zzqf;
It is most likely that you are using other react-native-modules that requires conflicting google play service
search for compile "com.google.android.gms
in android and see who specifies specific version. Resolve conflict by loosing their version or specify a version resolve in gradle.
Check this article https://medium.com/@suchydan/how-to-solve-google-play-services-version-collision-in-gradle-dependencies-ef086ae5c75f#.9l0u84y9t
Check open from tray flag in notification. It will be either 0 or 1 for iOS and undefined or 1 for android. I decide for iOS based on this, and for android I set it if notification is triggered by intent change.
All available features are here. FCM may add more support in the future but there is no timeline. In the mean time, you can pass "custom_notification" in a data message. This repo will show a local notification for you so you can set priority etc
check out official docs and see if they support
You can either wait for FCM to develop it or you have to write native code to create notifications.
- for iOS, you can do it in
didReceiveRemoteNotification
inappDelegate.m
- for android, you can do it by implementing a service similar to "com.evollu.react.fcm.MessagingService"
Or if you have a good way to wake up react native javascript thread please let me know, although I'm worring waking up the whole application is too expensive.
Congratulations, now you have 5 notification handler to register! in sum
willPresentNotification
is introduced in iOS 10 and will only be called when local/remote notification will show up. This allows you to run some code before notification shows up. You can also decide how to show the notification.didReceiveNotificationResponse
is introduced in iOS 10 and provides user's response together with local/remote notification. It could be swipe, text input etc.didReceiveLocalNotification
is for iOS 9 and below. Triggered when user clicks local notification. replaced bydidReceiveNotificationResponse
didReceiveRemoteNotification
is for iOS 9 and below. Triggered when remote notification received.didReceiveRemoteNotification:fetchCompletionHandler
is for both iOS 9 and 10. it gets triggered 2 times for each remote notification. 1st time when notification is received. 2nd time when notification is clicked. in iOS 9, it serves us the purpose of bothwillPresentNotification
anddidReceiveNotificationResponse
but for remote notification only. in iOS 10, you don't need it in most of the case unless you need to do background fetching
Great, how do I configure for FCM? It is up to you! FCM is just a bridging library that passes notification into javascript world. You can define your own NSDictionary and pass it into notification.
Use show_in_foreground
attribute to tell app to show banner even if the app is in foreground.
NOTE: this flag doesn't work for Android push notification, use custom_notification
to achieve this.
No. Method swizzling in Firebase Cloud Messaging handles this unless you turn that off. Then you are on your own to implement the handling. Check this link https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/ios/client
Check this evollu#325
This is mostly caused by React Native upgrade. Here is a fix http://stackoverflow.com/questions/41477241/react-native-xcode-upgrade-and-now-rctconvert-h-not-found
Issues and pull requests are welcome. Let's make this thing better!
Local notification implementation is inspired by react-native-push-notification by zo0r
How to send a push notification from your server? You should POST
to this endpoint:
https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send
You need to set the headers of Content-Type
to application/json
and Authorization
to key=******
where you replace ******
with the "Legacy server key" from here the Firebase dashbaord. Get this information by first going to:
- https://console.firebase.google.com/
- Click on "Gear" icon and click "Project Settingss". Screenshot: https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/35b93de8-44e1-49af-89d7-140b74c267c7.png
- Click on "Cloud Message" tab and find "Legacy server key" here. Screenshot: https://screenshotscdn.firefoxusercontent.com/images/c52ec383-783d-47d3-a1e6-75249fb6f3fb.png
The body should be json like this:
{
"to":"FCM_DEVICE_TOKEN_GOES_HERE",
"data": {
"custom_notification": {
"body": "test body",
"title": "test title",
"color":"#00ACD4",
"priority":"high",
"icon":"ic_launcher",
"group": "GROUP",
"sound": "default",
"id": "id",
"show_in_foreground": true
}
}
}
Example:
fetch('https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send', {
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Type': 'application/json'
'Authorization': 'key=EFefklefwef9efwefkejfwf'
},
body: JSON.stringify({
"to":"kajfsdf:efawefwe_fsdfdsf-asfawefwefwf_asdfsdfasd-asdfasdfsd9A_asdfsdf_asdf",
"data": {
"custom_notification": {
"body": "test body",
"title": "test title",
"color":"#00ACD4",
"priority":"high",
"icon":"ic_notif",
"group": "GROUP",
