Implement Push Notifications from Domoticz system to the Android app! https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging

This also requires someone to implement Android push notifictions on the Domoticz side...

Jeej, an milestone! But, great idea! Hopefully someone of the server devs is willing to participate on this.

Nice tutorial/description: https://github.com/codepath/android_guides/wiki/Google-Cloud-Messaging

So the app needs to register on the Google Connection servers, then we need to save that token in Domoticz.

Can we ask the Domoticz developers to implement a json post call to save a token (string)
Maybe we should be able to store multiple tokens (if users has 3 phones in a house for example)
And then Domoticz can send notifications with that registration token:

curl -s "https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send" -H "Authorization: key=[API_KEY_HERE]" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"to": "[REG_TOKEN_HERE]", "data": {"messages": "text"}}'

Looks not to hard..

Have been worrying about all the api keys being readable (since both Domoticz server and Domoticz Android client are open source) and found this:

Or use environment variables in Android Studio for secret things http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable

If they get the branch, they get a question to setup the environment variable (so they need to create a key for their own..)

I think we should still do that for the Geofence api key :)

As of April 10, 2018, Google has deprecated GCM. The GCM server and client APIs are deprecated and will be removed as soon as April 11, 2019. Migrate GCM apps to Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM), which inherits the [..] GCM infrastructure. Migration documentation is available.

This is an old repo.. we're using FCM already
