Push notifications for Android

activitree:push is a self sufficient solution, just like RAIX:push (which unfortunately is now deprecated) doesn’t have external dependencies other than the configuration required in Google Firebase. For apps with tens of thousands of users and above, a dedicated activitre:push server connected in a secondary MongoDB of a cluster might be even better so you can use Client/Server components for user registration and a separate server for sending messages. The problem with Cordova is that those Cordova plugins which are open source do not keep up with the mobile OS releases as fast as we’d like.

Hi,

We’re currently developing a new version of our meteor app using React Native for the front end. I was wondering if activitree/meteor-push is still the best way to send push notifications.

Thanks

You would need to fork it, remove the client components, grab the device token via RN and use the server side of the package for the token management.
I don’t know the RN Push api but for Web you may expect refreshes of the token so you will have to consider that and update to DB.

Ok, thanks a lot, I’ll dig into this
