SNS Mobile push notifications extremely confused

SNS Push Notifications with image using Node.js?

QUESTION

SNS Mobile push notifications extremely confused

Asked 2019-Aug-29 at 08:49

Right now I'm trying to send mobile push notifications to my phone when someone publishes a message to SNS. I'm confused about what services I have to use. Do I have to use a 3rd party service like Firebase Cloud Messaging/GCM to send mobile push notifications? Or can I send it directly from SNS to my phone.

In AWS docs it's a bit contradicting to me.

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/sns-mobile-application-as-subscriber.html

It says:

To begin using Amazon SNS mobile push notifications, you need the following:

A set of credentials for connecting to one of the supported push notification services: ADM, APNS, Baidu, FCM, MPNS, or WNS.

A mobile app that is registered and configured to use one of the supported push notification services.

So that means we have to use a third party service right? But however in one of the AWS SNS tutorials:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sns/latest/dg/mobile-platform-endpoint.html

it says we can create a platform endpoint for my mobile device so that it can recieve push notifications. I am extremely confused, do we have to use a third party service or can we send SNS push notifications directly to our phone?

I checked stackoverflow and the answers are not clear to me either

Can Amazon SNS push notifications directly to mobile devices?

Amazon SNS Sending direct push notification to individual device

Can someone please clarify this for me?

AWS SNS manages and abstracts different push notification services.

For AWS SNS to be able to make use of the appropriate push notification service, it would need a platform endpoint. It would need to know which platform (i.e iOS) an app is built.

it says we can create a platform endpoint for my mobile device

To create a platform endpoint, you would need a certificate coming from the Push Notification provider.

Example: .p12 is a certificate from Apple which will require "Push Notification" feature to be enabled.

Once a platform application is created, the app would need to register a unique device token to AWS SNS.

This device token is generated by iOS or Android to uniquely identify the device. The app can only generate the device token if it's properly signed by a certificate from the Push Notification provider.

do we have to use a third party service

Yes you need a third party service to:

generate the certificate with push notification feature enabled
generate the device token associated with your physical device
properly sign the app using the certificate

or can we send SNS push notifications directly to our phone?

AWS SNS manages this for you by matching device endpoints to the correct device token. Then invoking the appropriate push notification service. (i.e APNS, GCM).

Every image-containing push notification sent could contain a mediaReference that the app can later use to obtain content from a web service or from the apps bundled resources.

In any media case, the final resource link / bundle-resource-ref. can be composed within the app, (example) depending on other parameters within the push.

Remember that if the resource is not bundled you will have to download the image before displaying the notification (using it)

So the solution is in the client-side... Implement specific methods for each of your platforms (android & ios), perform the required operations (i repeat, different and specific to the platform) in order to display the push notification with the image.

NOTE : Tell me if you need references for building platform specific notifications with images. (and if so, what min sdk version you are using for each)
