Firebase Cloud Messaging

Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a free messaging solution that lets you send web push notifications to your mobile app users. Firebase serves as a module between your server and the devices that will be receiving the push notifications that you create. Your server informs Firebase that a notification has to be sent. Then Firebase does the work behind the scenes to get the notification published.

Follow the below mentioned steps to use FCM:

Sign up on Google Cloud

  1. Go to Google Cloud.
  2. Click on Get Started for free. 
  3. The following window appears. Select the checkbox to agree to terms and click on Agree and Continue button.
  4. In the next step, you can edit your account type and tax information. Also provide your name, address and card details here.
  5. Click on the Start my Free Trial button to start your free trial.

Please note that you won’t be charged unless you manually upgrade to a paid account. You will get $300 to spend on Google Cloud Platform over the next 12 months.
