Generate push notification through Firebase - node.js

Question

I'm trying to generate a notification from my REST service. The drawback is that not send, although fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send responds that was successful.
This I do in two ways, first by the module http:
var http = require('http');
var options = {
'hostname': 'fcm.googleapis.com',
'path': '/fcm/send',
'method': 'POST',
'headers': {
'Authorization': 'key=<Key Server>',
'Content-Type': "application/json"
}
};
var data = {
'to':tokenPush,
'notification':notification
};
var requestHttp = http.request(options, function(res){
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log(chunk);
});
});
requestHttp.on('error', function(e) {
console.log('problem with request: ' + e.message);
});
requestHttp.end(JSON.stringify(data));
The other way is through a command from the shell:
var exec = require('child_process').exec;
var cmd = 'curl -X POST --header "Authorization: key=<Key Server>" ';
cmd += '--Header "Content-Type: application/json" https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send ';
cmd +='-d \'{"to":"<Token Client>","notification":{"title":"Validación","body":"'+(new Date()).getTime()+'","sound":"default"}}\'';
console.log("=====================================");
console.log(cmd);
console.log("=====================================");
exec(cmd, function(error, stdout, stderr) {
if (error) {
console.log("=====================================");
console.error('exec error:'+error);
}
console.log("=====================================");
console.log('stdout: '+stdout);
console.log('stderr: '+stderr);
});
In both cases the answer is:
{ "Multicast_id": "success": 1, "failure": 0, "canonical_ids": 0, "results": [{ "message_ID": ""}]}.
The code for the shell works correctly when I run it from a separate file with the "node" command.
What I can be wrong?

Answer 1

Use an fcm wrapper. I've used 'fcm-node' link: https://www.npmjs.com/package/fcm-node
Just install it with npm install fcm-node --save
Usage
var FCM = require('fcm-node');
var serverKey = '';
var fcm = new FCM(serverKey);
var message = { //this may vary according to the message type (single recipient, multicast, topic, et cetera)
to: 'registration_token',
collapse_key: 'your_collapse_key',
notification: {
title: 'Title of your push notification',
body: 'Body of your push notification'
},
data: { //you can send only notification or only data(or include both)
my_key: 'my value',
my_another_key: 'my another value'
}
};
fcm.send(message, function(err, response){
if (err) {
console.log("Something has gone wrong!");
} else {
console.log("Successfully sent with response: ", response);
}
});

Your code is not clean.
This should work. Replace CLIENT_PUSH_ID and YOUR_AUTH_KEY to real
var http = require('http');
var message = {
"to": "CLIENT_PUSH_ID",
"notification": {
"title": "Validación",
"body": (new Date()).getTime(),
"sound": "default"
}
};
var postData = JSON.stringify(message);
var options = {
hostname: 'fcm.googleapis.com',
path: '/fcm/send',
method: 'POST',
headers: {
'Content-Length': postData.length,
'Content-Type': 'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
'Authorization': 'key=YOU_AUTH_KEY'
}
};
var requestHttp = http.request(options, function (res) {
res.setEncoding('utf8');
res.on('data', function (chunk) {
console.log(chunk);
});
res.on('error', function (e) {
console.log('error:' + e.message);
});
});
requestHttp.write(postData);
requestHttp.end();
requestHttp.on('error', function (e) {
console.log(e);
});
