Push notifications w/ images

Parker Bossier

I'd love the ability to have images in push notifications! We're an image-centric messaging app, so rich pushes would go a long way for us.

Native Notify (https://nativenotify.com) lets you send images with your push notifications in managed workflow. You do NOT have to eject out of managed workflow.

Hope this helps.

Having an image for push notifications is a compulsory feature on Apps for commerce and heavily branded businesses. I'm really looking forward to seeing this in a future SDK.

Are there any paid notification services that offer image support for iOS and Android? I would use expo notifications for free but really need images

Sharing our experience with push notification on Android (managed workflow) and sending notifications over FCM Console or API (not Expo push service). The behavior depends on the type of FCM message (https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options):

Notification messages (aka display messages): we are able to include an image. They are handled directly by FCM SDK on device and always displayed; however expo-notifications listeners won't detect clicks on those notifications (this should be possible according to Android docs, so it's probably a limitation on expo-notifications).
Data messages: those are handled by expo-notifications. You must include experienceId, title and message fields in the data object. Image is not supported here. Also, the notification will always be displayed even if you remove title and message in which case a blank notification is displayed. This means you can't have a pure invisible data message. You can add custom data in the body field (string).

On these notes there are at least 3 improvements to be made:

Support images in data messages displayed by expo
Allow handling of clicks on FCM notification messages
Allow pure invisible data messages (listener is called but notification is not displayed).

Pedro Pedruzzi: I think 3 is basically this feature request

Kevin

Pedro Pedruzzi: Do you know if the notification messages with image would work on iOS?

Axel

would also love this

is OneSignal compatible with EAS Expo as an alternative?

Axel: There's a plugin currently in beta: https://github.com/OneSignal/onesignal-expo-plugin

Would really like to see this added. It's the only reason why I'm considering to exit Expo managed workflow.
