Azure Notification Hubs

@jonz94/capacitor-azure-notification-hubs

Capacitor plugin to register push notifications via Azure Notification Hubs.

Install

npm install @jonz94/capacitor-azure-notification-hubs @capacitor/push-notifications
npx cap sync

iOS

On iOS you must enable the Push Notifications capability. See Setting Capabilities for instructions on how to enable the capability.

After enabling the Push Notifications capability, add the following lines to ios/App/App/AppDelegate.swift:

import UIKit
import Capacitor

@UIApplicationMain
class AppDelegate: UIResponder, UIApplicationDelegate {

    var window: UIWindow?

+    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken deviceToken: Data) {
+        NotificationCenter.default.post(name: .capacitorDidRegisterForRemoteNotifications, object: deviceToken)
+    }
+
+    func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError error: Error) {
+        NotificationCenter.default.post(name: .capacitorDidFailToRegisterForRemoteNotifications, object: error)
+    }

    // ...

}

Android

The Push Notification API uses Firebase Cloud Messaging SDK for handling notifications. See Set up a Firebase Cloud Messaging client app on Android and follow the instructions for creating a Firebase project and registering your application. There is no need to add the Firebase SDK to your app or edit your app manifest - the Push Notifications provides that for you. All that is required is your Firebase project's google-services.json file added to the module (app-level) directory of your app.

Variables

This plugin will use the following project variables (defined in your app's variables.gradle file):

• firebaseMessagingVersion version of com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging (default: 23.1.2)
• azureNotificationHubsVersion version of com.microsoft.azure:notification-hubs-android-sdk-fcm (default: 2.0.0)
• androidVolleyVersion version of com.android.volley:volley (default: 1.2.1)
• androidxCoreKTXVersion version of androidx.core:core-ktx (default: 1.12.0)
• kotlin_version version of org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib (default: 1.9.10)

Configuration

No configuration required for this plugin.

Usage

import { Device } from '@capacitor/device';
import { PushNotifications } from '@capacitor/push-notifications';
import { AzureNotificationHubs } from '@jonz94/capacitor-azure-notification-hubs';

const addListeners = async () => {
  await AzureNotificationHubs.addListener('registration', token => {
    console.log('Registration token: ', token.value);
  });

  await AzureNotificationHubs.addListener('registrationError', err => {
    console.error('Registration error: ', err.error);
  });
}

const registerNotifications = async () => {
  let permissionStatus = await PushNotifications.checkPermissions();

  if (permissionStatus.receive === 'prompt') {
    permissionStatus = await PushNotifications.requestPermissions();
  }

  if (permissionStatus.receive !== 'granted') {
    throw new Error('User denied permissions!');
  }

  const { identifier } = await Device.getId();

  const myDeviceTag = `${identifier}-${Date.now()}`

  await AzureNotificationHubs.register({
    notificationHubName: 'azure-notification-hub-name',
    connectionString: 'my-connection-string',
    deviceTag: myDeviceTag,
  });
}

register(...)

register(info: RegisterInfo) => Promise<void>

Register the app to receive push notifications.

This method will trigger the 'registration' event with the push token or 'registrationError' if there was a problem. It does not prompt the user for notification permissions, use PushNotifications.requestPermissions() from @capacitor/push-notifications first.

Param	Type
info	RegisterInfo

Since: 1.0.0

---

addListener('registration', ...)

addListener(eventName: 'registration', listenerFunc: (token: Token) => void) => Promise<PluginListenerHandle>

Called when the push notification registration finishes without problems.

Provides the push notification token.

Param	Type
eventName	'registration'
listenerFunc	(token: Token) => void

Returns: Promise<PluginListenerHandle>

Since: 1.0.0

---

addListener('registrationError', ...)

addListener(eventName: 'registrationError', listenerFunc: (error: RegistrationError) => void) => Promise<PluginListenerHandle>

Called when the push notification registration finished with problems.

Provides an error with the registration problem.

Param	Type
eventName	'registrationError'
listenerFunc	(error: RegistrationError) => void

Returns: Promise<PluginListenerHandle>

Since: 1.0.0

---

removeAllListeners()

removeAllListeners() => Promise<void>

Remove all native listeners for this plugin.
