Push Notification Issues

Question

First of all thanks to you guys providing such a good platform for Android Application. As, I am using your push notification services in my Android App. Now, I want some specific changes for my app.

My main requirement is when notification is recieved by any user than he just click on to it. I need that notification message should open in my app.
But, Right now what happening is when user clicks on notification to see it. It normally opens the app but that notification doesnt comes in to the app.

And Secondly, I want to store those notifications in that app for a user. As well as how to send Images in the Notification.

If possible could you please send me any Sample Activity for the same. So, that i should use that code in my App. 
Please help for this.

Thanks.

Hi Prabhjas,

As per our previous discusion is concern you have to pass message in notification Intent and have to retrieve it in onStart() method of that Activity. Now you are able to message to user.

If you want to implement Image Push as well that you can download our Rich Push Widget. It will show how can you send Push Notification messsage in following formats:

• HTML
• Text
• Image
• Video
• YouTube

For storing Push messages you can use SharedPrefences or SQLLite Databse of android and retrieve all message when required.

Let me know if further help is concern.

Thanks

Vishnu

Thanks a lot.
I mailed you mine Package. You can check. Right now i am receiving notifications in my app.But, I just want to open those notifications in my Android App and save it for a user.

You are using Old sample we have updated it with new Google GCM API. I have already revert on mail.

---

Yes, I am integrating that code in to my app and let you know whether it works or not.

---

Please remove old GCM.jar file and import google play service library in your Eclispe and add it as a library.

---

I have just shared my full application with you. Please check it out and update it.
Thanks a lot.

I have added the source and already shared with you, can you please replace it in your project and also add google_play_service as a library project. Please do that stuff first than I am going to help you out. You can find google_play_service library project "sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject" here in your SDK location.

---

Yes! done with all those steps now.

---

So Now share the problem you are facing.

import com.google.android.gms.common.ConnectionResult;
import com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil;
import com.google.android.gms.gcm.GoogleCloudMessaging;

Sending you screenshot on your email.

As I have mentioned earlier your google_play_library project must be in the same directory.

---

I understand and i have implemented the same also taken help from your tutorials and videos as well.I have taken your lots of time as well for the same. But i would like to request you that i am sharing my android application with you and if possible please help me to make changes in it. As, I need it very urgently for some purpose.
https://cldup.com/zQKIqFsoVK.zip
Download it from here.
So, kindly request you.
Thanks a lot.

---

I have already tested on my end your project and its working fine as you mentioned logs like :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.google.android.gms.common.GooglePlayServicesUtil

that will occurs run time when your library and your projects directories are not same.

---

As you seen my whole project can you tell me specific steps where it is required to make those changes because i added those libraries each and every place where you told me.

---

My means in same drive like d: and e: not in same project directory.You have paste it in project directory please place it outside the project but in the same drive.Let me know if it not works.

---

Is it possible for you to share that whole project which was working with you so that i should directly import it in Eclipse.

---

DropBox link again its working fine
https://www.dropbox.com/s/vjkcrcrwddv153c/prafas.zip?dl=0

---

First of all thanks for providing me files. I tried installing its .apk in my mobile but its not getting installed.
It says App not installed.

---

It depends on your Manifest.xml file, remove action from MainActivity.java file to launch the application.
    <action android:name="android.net.conn.CONNECTIVITY_CHANGE" />

One more thing I want to add whatever code you are writing you must have a knowledge about that code.

---

Thanks, App is working the one which you shared with me but while sending push messages they are not getting opened in that application.

---

Thanks a lot. I have made it working. Now just implementing how to send images as a push notification through my shephertz account as i couldn't see any option over there.

---

How to save these push notifications in the app?

---

You can save the notification message when they received your side using:
1. Shared Preferences
2. SQLite database
3. Save them in file
