Who's using what for Push Notifications?

Nice! I will probably switch to Netmera then.

#82

I got Netmera to work. Thanks Ulas.

FYI if you’re going to use Netmera put your message as a value for a parameter called “alert”. I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out why I was receiving the notifications but the text wasn’t showing up.

EDIT: The “alert” parameter has to be in lowercase sorry

Ryan, happy to hear that you worked it out. I thought I was clear about the alert field in my curl request example :slight_smile: Also if you want to send any custom data, the trick is the same. Add another field named “custom” and put any value you want to send. You can even put a JSON to send. On Corona side event.custom will give you the data you sent.

Sorry I missed that part XD thanks

Is anyone else having problems with Netmera since their outage yesterday? My push notifications no longer work.

Edit: Looks like they reset my API key.

Dear Ryan,

First of all thanks for contacting us (and using Netmera of course).

I’m replying here to let everyone know, there has been a system outage for a short time yesterday since we’ve done deployment to add some new cool features like In-app Pop-ups, Sampling, Transactional Push, Exception Browser, Vibration. 

Yes, we’ve changed the API key; however, you can keep using the old one. 

Kind regards

I’m sorry to stumble into the middle of a conversation, but this has me worried (And slightly confused)

I want to register local push notifications that are unique to each user, and stay with the device. The guides start by having you sign up to a load of services (Pushwoosh, Google GCM service ect.) and I’m not sure if I need them :confused:

Hey Matt,

If you are using local notifications based on schedules. You do not need GCM or push notification services.

Thank you for clarifying this! Its a MASSIVE weight off my mind :slight_smile:

Just one more note on this. I got Kii cloud working for iOs push, and don’t foresee a problem getting it to work for Android as they use GCM. Their backend is not nearly as good visually as Parse’s, but if it helps with Android push, it may be a win. I am integrating iZhongWen with it anyway b/c I want their services for that particular app as I move to Asian markets. Something to look at. :slight_smile:

Here’s another option, QuickBlox, which has a REST API so you can use it with Corona …

http://quickblox.com/modules/messages/

They have a free tier with 10 Gb traffic/storage, unlimited API calls, unlimited push notifications per month.

I haven’t tried Push Notifications yet but I have successfully used their service for content delivery (e.g. for IAP) in a series of Corona apps I’m developing.

I just posted a series of Corona tutorials, one of which is how to integrate Parse push for iOs: http://www.ladeezfirstmedia.com/2013/08/01/tutorial-part-5-push-it-real-good-with-push-notifications-using-corona-sdk-and-parse-com/ if it is useful to you.

Hi Jen,

“Shameless plug” this isn’t, when the tutorials are useful. We’ve posted links to them in Corona University, in case people need to reference them in the future and don’t want to bother bookmarking this thread.
