[Question] Can this library be used for receiving messages? #48

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I am setting up a server, and I would like to be able to receive messages. The two scenarios where this could come in handy are:

  1. integration testing, the server can be used to mock an android/ios device.
  2. I need to connect to a specific instance of a server, let's say, the raspberry pi on my home, easily.

Describe the solution you'd like A similar solution as we have for iOS, Android, Flutter, etc. You can register your device, get a token, and receive messages quickly.

Additional context Maybe that's already possible, but the doc seems more focused on sending messages to mobile devices, hence my question. There is some documentation in Firebase for enabling this in a cloud server, but I didn't fully understand it: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/server

@alexisgaziello thanks for raising this question, Currently, this is not possible, however, let me spend some time getting familiar with a feature you would like to have.

Might not be trivial. I found this unmaintained project that does it: https://github.com/Francesco149/push_receiver
