 What is “Firebase Cloud messaging”?

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets


you reliably deliver messages at no cost

Using FCM, you can notify a client app that new email or other data is available to
sync. You can send notification messages to drive user re-engagement and
retention. For use cases such as instant messaging, a message can transfer a
payload of up to 4KB to a client app.

 How does it work?

An FCM implementation includes two main components for sending and receiving:
 A trusted environment such as Cloud Functions for Firebase or an app
server on which to build, target, and send messages.

 An iOS, Android, or web (JavaScript) client app that receives messages.

You can send messages using the RESTFul firebase api or for testing using
firebase cloud messaging console

 Versatile message targeting


 Distribute messages to your client app in any of 3 ways—to single devices,
to groups of devices, or to devices subscribed to topics.

 Send messages from client apps


 Send acknowledgments, chats, and other messages from devices back to
your server over FCM’s reliable and battery-efficient connection channel.
