Using Push Notifications

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

Lets say I do an App for a Pizza Restaraunt.  The owner of the restaraunt wants to send out Push Notifications to his customers who have his Corona made App on Android/IOS.  Everytime he decides to do a  pizza special he wants to send out a Push notifiication.  Can we do this with Corona SDK?

Hi @russm305,

Yes, this is possible. Push notifications isn’t necessarily an “easy” task, but this guide should get you started:

You may also consider “OneSignal” and its associated Corona plugin. Here are their docs:

I also recommend using OneSignal - it’s much easier than setting things up yourself (although there is still some setup to do) and the OneSignal team are very quick at replying to any queries.
