Android GCM Weird behavior v1.6.2

[DowsingUK]

Hi there I'm developing an app using Java I'm using your package and when I use these settings everything works I even get silent push notifications in my Android devices I don't know why they're in silent mode I'm even using silent: false but I keep getting silent notifications I have tried every combination of settings and nothing else seems to work and then if I use this or this I just get "error":"InternalServerError" after call ****

*gcm: { id: config.fcm_server_id, phonegap: true }

**gcm: { id: config.fcm_server_id, phonegap: false }

***gcm: { id: config.fcm_server_id }

****push.send(registrationIds, data).then(function(result) { log(result); //This prints this info here not in catch function so I'm guessing something's wrong in your side "method": "gcm", "multicastId": [ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx ], "success": 0, "failure": 1, "message": [ { ... "error": "InternalServerError" } ]

}) .catch(function(err) { log(err); //never gets call });

@DowsingUK Hard to tell why you get silent notifications from the information you provided. Can you share a more complete example if your notification payload?

[DowsingUK]

I'm using same code as the example:

const settings = { gcm: { id: fcm_server_id, phonegap: true, // if false fails, if true works in silent mode }, };

push = new PushNotifications(settings);

const data = { title: hook.data.title, // REQUIRED for Android // topic: 'topic', // REQUIRED for iOS (apn and gcm) /* The topic of the notification. When using token-based authentication, specify the bundle ID of the app.

• When using certificate-based authentication, the topic is usually your app's bundle ID.
• More details can be found under https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server/sending_notification_requests_to_apns / body: body, // REQUIRED for Android priority: 'high', // gcm, apn. Supported values are 'high' or 'normal' (gcm). Will be translated to 10 and 5 for apn. Defaults to 'high' collapseKey: '', // gcm for android, used as collapseId in apn contentAvailable: true, // gcm, apn. node-apn will translate true to 1 as required by apn. delayWhileIdle: true, // gcm for android restrictedPackageName: '', // gcm for android dryRun: false, // gcm for android icon: '', // gcm for android tag: '', // gcm for android color: '', // gcm for android clickAction: '', // gcm for android. In ios, category will be used if not supplied locKey: '', // gcm, apn locArgs: '', // gcm, apn titleLocKey: '', // gcm, apn titleLocArgs: '', // gcm, apn retries: 1, // gcm, apn encoding: '', // apn badge: badge, // gcm for ios, apn sound: 'ping.aiff', // gcm, apn silent: false, // gcm, apn, will override badge, sound, alert and priority if set to true on iOS, will omit notification property and send as data-only on Android/GCM alert: { // apn, will take precedence over title and body title: title, body: body // details: https://github.com/node-apn/node-apn/blob/master/doc/notification.markdown#convenience-setters }, /
• A string is also accepted as a payload for alert
• Your notification won't appear on ios if alert is empty object
• If alert is an empty string the regular 'title' and 'body' will show in Notification / // alert: '', launchImage: '', // apn and gcm for ios action: '', // apn and gcm for ios category: '', // apn and gcm for ios // mdm: '', // apn and gcm for ios.

Do you need phonegap compatibility mode? Have you tried phonegap: false ? If phonegap=true the notification property will be set to undefined, which can result in a silent notification if you also don't set a sound or icon.

Also you posted basically the example with empty default values but it's not clear which payload you specify in the body. I would assume your payload is incomplete. Please refer to https://github.com/ToothlessGear/node-gcm to see some example configurations for your Android use-case

I've been using the same payload in a previous version 1.4.1 and everything works fine I'm actually using that version in production right now it's a stable one at least in my case just looking forward to update if you help me with this bug. I do not need phonegap mode actually the first thing I tried was disabling it with not positive outcome as I describe in the main post I have use phonegap: true and that's making every push notification a silent one if I remove phonegap property or set it to false I get "error": "InternalServerError"

[alex-friedl]

Would be interesting to get more details of InternalServerError response from Firebase. Any chance you can debug this on your end with some breakpoints or logs in your local node-gcm dependency? Or is there the possibility to get more details from the Firebase console?

@DowsingUK Any update on this? Do you still experience these issues?

[DowsingUK]

Same issues with this package, push works fine if I send push from FCM console
