Server side notifications

[Prulon]

Issue Seems like we can't really trust the existing background "Pull" based notifications, and need to replace with normal server side "Push"

Task Register players for notifications:

• Get permissions for notifications (see the other tickets), also I'm not sure which permission is needed
• List the user for getting notifications. For now we will have only one type of notifications, in the future we will probably need to split to "game updates" and "feature updates and promotions"

Move existing "turn based" and "non turn based" notifications to server side (see original issue below)

Every notification probably needs the following fields, so the client knows what to display:

• Type: { _privateInvite / newGame / newTurn / _endGame }
• GameId: integer
• Players list: [string array]

Private Invites:

• When player A invites player B to a game --> Send push

New Game:

• When player B accepts a game, if the game is ready to start (all players joined) then send a push back to player A (and all other players)

  New Turn:

• When player B plays a turn, and the game is ready for a new turn, send a push to player A (and all other players)

End Game:

• When player B plays a turn, and the game ends, send a push to player A (and all other players)

Register players for game notifications:

• If needed, then we can register a player to get notifications for a certain game when: Player A invites another player, or when player A joins a game. In both cases we can register that <Player A, Game #> meaning player A wants notifications for game number '#'.

Daily reconciliation: assuming some of these might get missed, we need also a periodic push

• Every day, send a silent push to every active player, and also to every player which got a game invite from an active player.
• When receiving the push, the app should check like today, if the player got an invite / new turn / new game / end game and put a notification for the player

Non game notifications: Once a day, go over the list of all the players that were NOT active in the last 3 days. When 7 / 30 / 90 / 180 / 270 / ... days have past since last visit --> send a notification saying: We missed you, open game list Text: "Checkout your new game match!" Action: "Show me" clicking on the notification will open the game list

looks like we need "Foreground service" https://developer.android.com/develop/background-work/services/foreground-services

@Prulon in new build notifications work, maybe we decrease priority (maybe after live games, because for live game I developing our server and we can use it for server side notification)

I don't get any notifications...

I suppose we need change order for server side notification and do live match first @Prulon ?

[Pz1c]

ok I see that notification not working for android above 11 so we really need server side notification
