Push notification should open the confirmation screen with CTA to enter info for the website #28

Can we can get the push notification to force an object refresh? If so then what guarantees are there on push deliverability? Is this like iOS where any notification may fail to be delivered for any reason? If so, should we implement an automatic refresh timer of, say, three minutes within the app? Even if not, is it worth implementing one in order to be belt and braces?

They are quite reliable on Android and I think I can force an object refresh on confirmation activity.

I think I threw a force refresh upon opening the activity in while in desperation mode last night; the issue is more that a user may open the activity, leave the app running, return to it two days later without having rebooted the phone or otherwise caused our app to be evicted and therefore not cause a restart of the activity.

That is if I’ve understood my Activity lifecycles correctly, of course.

Moving this to nice to have in favor of timer implementation.

Push notification is triggered from the app and directs user to the appropriate view.
