Mobile Push Notifications API for Unity SDK

Mobile Push Notifications feature enables developers to bridge native PubNub publishing with 3rd-party push notification services including Google Android FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) and Apple iOS APNs (Apple Push Notification service).

By using the Mobile Push Notifications feature, developers can eliminate the need for developing, configuring, and maintaining additional server-side components for third-party push notification providers.

Add Device to Channel

Requires Mobile Push Notifications add-on

This method requires that the Mobile Push Notifications add-on is enabled for your key in the Admin Portal. Read the support page on enabling add-on features on your keys.

Enable mobile push notifications on provided set of channels.

Method(s)

To run Adding Device to Channel you can use the following method(s) in the Unity SDK:

pubnub.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels()
    .PushType(PNPushType)
    .Channels(Array)
    .DeviceId(string)
    .Environment(PushEnvironment)
    .Topic(string)
    .QueryParam(Dictionary<string,object>)
    .Execute(System.Action<PNPushAddChannelResult, PNStatus>)

* required

Parameter	Description
PushType * Type: PNPushType	Accepted values: PNPushType.GCM, PNPushType.FCM, PNPushType.APNS2.
Channels * Type: Array	Add mobile push notifications on the specified Channels.
DeviceId * Type: string	Device ID.
Environment Type: PushEnvironment	PNPushType.APNS2 only. Apple APNs server (refer to this Apple document) to contact. Valid values are Development and Production.
Topic Type: string	PNPushType.APNS2 only. Notification topic name (usually the application's bundle identifier).
QueryParam Type: Dictionary<string, object>	Dictionary object to pass name/value pairs as query string params with PubNub URL request for debug purpose.
Async Type: PNCallback	PNCallback of type PNPushAddChannelResult.
Execute * Type: System.Action	System.Action of type PNPushAddChannelResult.
ExecuteAsync Type: None	Returns Task<PNResult<PNPushAddChannelResult>>.

Basic Usage

Add Device to Channel

// for FCM/GCM
pubnub.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels()
    .PushType(PnPushType.FCM)
    .Channels(new string[] {
        "ch1",
        "ch2",
        "ch3"
    })
    .DeviceId("googleDevice")
    .Execute((result, status) => {});

// for APNS2
pubnub.AddPushNotificationsOnChannels()
    .PushType(PNPushType.APNS2)
    .Channels(new string[] {

Returns

The AddPushNotificationsOnChannels() does not return actionable data, be sure to check the status object on the outcome of the operation by checking the status.isError().
