Twisted Python client for FCM - Firebase Cloud Messaging (Android & iOS)
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is the new version of GCM. It inherits the reliable and scalable GCM infrastructure, plus new features. GCM users are strongly recommended to upgrade to FCM.
Using FCM, you can notify a client app that new email or other data is available to sync. You can send notifications to drive user reengagement and retention. For use cases such as instant messaging, a message can transfer a payload of up to 4KB to a client app.

Install using pip:
pip install txfcm OR pip install git+https://github.com/linteltechnologies/txfcm.git
txfcm supports Android and iOS.
- All FCM functionality covered
Send notifications using the TXFCMNotification class:
# Send to single device.
from txfcm import TXFCMNotification
from twisted.internet import reactor
push_service = TXFCMNotification(api_key="<api-key>")
# Your api-key can be gotten from: https://console.firebase.google.com/project/<project-name>/settings/cloudmessaging
registration_id = "<device registration_id>"
message_title = "Uber update"
message_body = "Hi john, your customized news for today is ready"
result = push_service.notify_single_device(registration_id=registration_id, message_title=message_title, message_body=message_body)
# Send to multiple devices by passing a list of ids.
registration_ids = ["<device registration_id 1>", "<device registration_id 2>", ...]
message_title = "Uber update"
message_body = "Hope you're having fun this weekend, don't forget to check today's news"
df = push_service.notify_multiple_devices(registration_ids=registration_ids, message_title=message_title, message_body=message_body)
def got_result(result):
print(result)
df.addBoth(got_result)
reactor.run()Send a data message.
# With FCM, you can send two types of messages to clients:
# 1. Notification messages, sometimes thought of as "display messages."
# 2. Data messages, which are handled by the client app.
# Client app is responsible for processing data messages. Data messages have only custom key-value pairs. (Python dict)
# Data messages let developers send up to 4KB of custom key-value pairs.
# Sending a notification with data message payload
data_message = {
"Nick" : "Mario",
"body" : "great match!",
"Room" : "PortugalVSDenmark"
}
# To multiple devices
result = push_service.notify_multiple_devices(registration_ids=registration_ids, message_body=message_body, data_message=data_message)
# To a single device
result = push_service.notify_single_device(registration_id=registration_id, message_body=message_body, data_message=data_message)
# Sending a data message only payload, do NOT include message_body
# To multiple devices
result = push_service.notify_multiple_devices(registration_ids=registration_ids, data_message=data_message)
# To a single device
result = push_service.notify_single_device(registration_id=registration_id, data_message=data_message)
# Use notification messages when you want FCM to handle displaying a notification on your app's behalf.
# Use data messages when you just want to process the messages only in your app.
# txfcm can send a message including both notification and data payloads.
# In such cases, FCM handles displaying the notification payload, and the client app handles the data payload.Send a low priority message.
# The default is low_priority == False
result = push_service.notify_multiple_devices(registration_ids=registration_ids, message_body=message, low_priority=True)Sending a message to a topic.
# Send a message to devices subscribed to a topic.
result = push_service.notify_topic_subscribers(topic_name="news", message_body=message)
# Conditional topic messaging
topic_condition = "'TopicA' in topics && ('TopicB' in topics || 'TopicC' in topics)"
result = push_service.notify_topic_subscribers(message_body=message, condition=topic_condition)
# 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
# Conditions for topics support two operators per expression, and parentheses are supported.
# For more information, check: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/topic-messagingOther argument options
collapse_key (str, optional): Identifier for a group of messages
that can be collapsed so that only the last message gets sent
when delivery can be resumed. Defaults to `None`.
delay_while_idle (bool, optional): If `True` indicates that the
message should not be sent until the device becomes active.
time_to_live (int, optional): How long (in seconds) the message
should be kept in FCM storage if the device is offline. The
maximum time to live supported is 4 weeks. Defaults to ``None``
which uses the FCM default of 4 weeks.
low_priority (boolean, optional): Whether to send notification with
the low priority flag. Defaults to `False`.
restricted_package_name (str, optional): Package name of the
application where the registration IDs must match in order to
receive the message. Defaults to `None`.
dry_run (bool, optional): If `True` no message will be sent but
request will be tested.
Access response data.
# Response from FCM Server.
response['multicast_id'] #Unique ID (number) identifying the multicast message.
response['success'] #Number of messages that were processed without an error.
response['failure'] #Number of messages that could not be processed.
response['canonical_ids'] #Number of results that contain a canonical registration token.
response['results'] #Array of objects representing the status of the messages processed.
result = [{response dict},...]
# The response objects are listed in the same order as the request (i.e., for each registration ID in the request,
# its response is listed in the same index in the response).
# message_id: String specifying a unique ID for each successfully processed message.
# registration_id: Optional string specifying the canonical registration token for the client app that the message
# was processed and sent to. Sender should use this value as the registration token for future requests. Otherwise,
# the messages might be rejected.
# error: String specifying the error that occurred when processing the message for the recipientThe MIT License (MIT).
