React native Expo push notifications Firebase

 Push notifications are a critical way for the Expo app to communicate with users. Combined with Firebase Cloud Functions it is easy to implement a reliable and scalable push notification solution.

One of the best features of Expo is that it enables you to add Push Notifications in your app. With Expo you can't only send push notifications, but also easily create them from within the Expo App Manager.

Implementing Push Notifications with Expo and Firebase Cloud Functions

One of the most exciting things about Expo is that it handles push notifications for you. Now we're going to add them to our Hello Expo app!

This is the final code snippet for this section:

Expo has a built-in module for sending push notifications, powered by Firebase Cloud Functions. To set up these functions, go to your project's dashboard and click on "Cloud Functions", then "+Add function." Name it "sendPushNotification" and give it a description if you like. Add your Firebase project number and press save. You will now see your push notification service enpoint in the project dashboard navigation bar. Click on it, select "Add Notification" which will bring you to the next step where you can choose what type of push notification you want to send.

• Push notifications are a great way to engage and retain your users in your app.
