Build app server send requests

Using the Firebase Admin SDK or FCM app server protocols, you can build message requests and send them to these types of targets:

  • Topic name
  • Condition
  • Device registration token
  • Device group name (protocol only)

You can send messages with a notification payload made up of predefined fields, a data payload of your own user-defined fields, or a message containing both types of payload. See Message types for more information.

Examples in this page show how to send notification messages using the Firebase Admin SDK (which has support for Node, Java, Python, C#, and Go) and the v1 HTTP protocol.

Send messages to specific devices

To send to a single, specific device, pass the device's registration token as shown. See the client setup information for your platform to learn more about registration tokens.

Node.js

// This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
const registrationToken = 'YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN';

const message = {
  data: {
    score: '850',
    time: '2:45'
  },
  token: registrationToken
};

// Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided
// registration token.
getMessaging().send(message)
  .then((response) => {
    // Response is a message ID string.
    console.log('Successfully sent message:', response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log('Error sending message:', error);
  });

Java

// This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
String registrationToken = "YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN";

// See documentation on defining a message payload.
Message message = Message.builder()
    .putData("score", "850")
    .putData("time", "2:45")
    .setToken(registrationToken)
    .build();

// Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided
// registration token.
String response = FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().send(message);
// Response is a message ID string.
System.out.println("Successfully sent message: " + response);
FirebaseMessagingSnippets.java

Python

# This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
registration_token = 'YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN'

# See documentation on defining a message payload.
message = messaging.Message(
    data={
        'score': '850',
        'time': '2:45',
    },
    token=registration_token,
)

# Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided
# registration token.
response = messaging.send(message)
# Response is a message ID string.
print('Successfully sent message:', response)
cloud_messaging.py

Go

// Obtain a messaging.Client from the App.
ctx := context.Background()
client, err := app.Messaging(ctx)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("error getting Messaging client: %v\n", err)
}

// This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
registrationToken := "YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN"

// See documentation on defining a message payload.
message := &messaging.Message{
	Data: map[string]string{
		"score": "850",
		"time":  "2:45",
	},
	Token: registrationToken,
}

// Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided

    {
        { "score", "850" },
        { "time", "2:45" },
    },
    Token = registrationToken,
};

// Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided

}}' https://fcm.googleapis.com/v1/projects/myproject-b5ae1/messages:send

On success, each send method returns a message ID. The Firebase Admin SDK returns the ID string in the format projects/{project_id}/messages/{message_id}. The HTTP protocol response is a single JSON key:

    {
      "name":"projects/myproject-b5ae1/messages/0:1500415314455276%31bd1c9631bd1c96"
    }

Send one message to multiple devices

The Admin FCM SDKs allow you to multicast a message to a list of device registration tokens. You can use this feature when you need to send the same message to a large number of devices. You can specify up to 500 device registration tokens per invocation.

The return value includes a list of tokens that corresponds to the order of the input tokens. This is useful when you want to check which tokens resulted in errors and then handle them appropriately.

Send a list of messages

The Admin SDKs support sending a list of up to 500 messages. This feature can be used to build a customized set of messages and send them to different recipients, including topics or specific device registration tokens. For example, you can use this feature when you need to send different audiences slightly differentiated messages.

Node.js

// Create a list containing up to 500 messages.
const messages = [];
messages.push({
  notification: { title: 'Price drop', body: '5% off all electronics' },
  token: registrationToken,
});
messages.push({
  notification: { title: 'Price drop', body: '2% off all books' },
  topic: 'readers-club',
});

getMessaging().sendEach(messages)
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.successCount + ' messages were sent successfully');
  });

Java

// Create a list containing up to 500 messages.
List<Message> messages = Arrays.asList(
    Message.builder()
        .setNotification(Notification.builder()
            .setTitle("Price drop")
            .setBody("5% off all electronics")
            .build())
        .setToken(registrationToken)

Send messages to topics

After you have created a topic, either by subscribing client app instances to the topic on the client side or via the server API, you can send messages to the topic. If this is your first time building send requests for FCM, see the guide to your server environment and FCM for important background and setup information.

In your sending logic on the backend, specify the desired topic name as shown:

Node.js

// The topic name can be optionally prefixed with "/topics/".
const topic = 'highScores';

const message = {
  data: {
    score: '850',
    time: '2:45'
  },
  topic: topic
};

// Send a message to devices subscribed to the provided topic.
getMessaging().send(message)
  .then((response) => {
    // Response is a message ID string.
    console.log('Successfully sent message:', response);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log('Error sending message:', error);
  });

Java

// The topic name can be optionally prefixed with "/topics/".
String topic = "highScores";

// See documentation on defining a message payload.
Message message = Message.builder()
    .putData("score", "850")
    .putData("time", "2:45")
    .setTopic(topic)
    .build();

// Send a message to the devices subscribed to the provided topic.
String response = FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().send(message);
// Response is a message ID string.
System.out.println("Successfully sent message: " + response);
FirebaseMessagingSnippets.java

Python

# The topic name can be optionally prefixed with "/topics/".
topic = 'highScores'

# See documentation on defining a message payload.
message = messaging.Message(
    data={
        'score': '850',
        'time': '2:45',
    },
    topic=topic,
)

# Send a message to the devices subscribed to the provided topic.
response = messaging.send(message)
# Response is a message ID string.
print('Successfully sent message:', response)
cloud_messaging.py

Go

// The topic name can be optionally prefixed with "/topics/".
topic := "highScores"

// See documentation on defining a message payload.
message := &messaging.Message{
	Data: map[string]string{
		"score": "850",
		"time":  "2:45",
	},
	Topic: topic,
}

// Send a message to the devices subscribed to the provided topic.
response, err := client.Send(ctx, message)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalln(err)
}
// Response is a message ID string.
fmt.Println("Successfully sent message:", response)

    }
  }
}' https://fcm.googleapis.com/v1/projects/myproject-b5ae1/messages:send HTTP/1.1

To send a message to a combination of topics, specify a condition, which is a boolean expression that specifies the target topics. For example, the following condition will send messages to devices that are subscribed to TopicA and either TopicB or TopicC:

"'TopicA' in topics && ('TopicB' in topics || 'TopicC' in topics)"

FCM first evaluates any conditions in parentheses, and then evaluates the expression from left to right. In the above expression, a user subscribed to any single topic does not receive the message. Likewise, a user who does not subscribe to TopicA does not receive the message. These combinations do receive it:

  • TopicA and TopicB
  • TopicA and TopicC

You can include up to five topics in your conditional expression.

To send to a condition:

Node.js

// Define a condition which will send to devices which are subscribed
// to either the Google stock or the tech industry topics.
const condition = '\'stock-GOOG\' in topics || \'industry-tech\' in topics';

// See documentation on defining a message payload.
const message = {

Send direct boot-enabled messages (Android only)

You can send messages to devices in direct boot mode using the HTTP v1 or legacy HTTP APIs. Before sending to devices in direct boot mode, make sure you have completed the steps to enable client devices to receive FCM messages in direct boot mode.

Send using the FCM v1 HTTP API

The message request must include the key "direct_boot_ok" : true in the AndroidConfig options of the request body. For example:

https://fcm.googleapis.com/v1/projects/myproject-b5ae1/messages:send
Content-Type:application/json
Authorization: Bearer ya29.ElqKBGN2Ri_Uz...HnS_uNreA

{
  "message":{
    "token" : "bk3RNwTe3H0:CI2k_HHwgIpoDKCIZvvDMExUdFQ3P1..."
    "data": {
      "score": "5x1",
      "time": "15:10"
    },
    "android": {
      "direct_boot_ok": true,
    },
}

Customize messages across platforms

The Firebase Admin SDK and the FCM v1 HTTP protocol both allow your message requests to set all fields available in the message object. This includes:

  • a common set of fields to be interpreted by all app instances that receive the message.
  • platform-specific sets of fields, such as AndroidConfig and WebpushConfig, interpreted only by app instances running on the specified platform.

Platform-specific blocks give you flexibility to customize messages for different platforms to ensure that they are handled correctly when received. The FCM backend will take all specified parameters into account and customize the message for each platform.

When to use common fields

Use common fields when you're:

  • Targeting app instances on all platforms — Apple, Android, and web
  • Sending messages to topics

All app instances, regardless of platform, can interpret the following common fields:

When to use platform-specific fields

Use platform-specific fields when you want to:

  • Send fields only to particular platforms
  • Send platform-specific fields in addition to the common fields

Whenever you want to send values only to particular platforms, don't use common fields; use platform-specific fields. For example, to send a notification only to Apple platforms and web but not to Android, you must use two separate sets of fields, one for Apple and one for web.

When you are sending messages with specific delivery options, use platform-specific fields to set them. You can specify different values per platform if you want. However, even when you want to set essentially the same value across platforms, you must use platform-specific fields. This is because each platform may interpret the value slightly differently—for example, time-to-live is set on Android as an expiration time in seconds, while on Apple it is set as an expiration date.

Example: notification message with color and icon options

This example send request sends a common notification title and content to all platforms, but it also sends some platform-specific overrides to Android devices.

For Android, the request sets a special icon and color to display on Android devices. As noted in the reference for AndroidNotification, the color is specified in #rrggbb format, and the image must be a drawable icon resource local to the Android app.

Here's an approximation of the visual effect on a user's device:
