How to implement notification settings in Phonegap app

My Question

I want to implement notification settings for my Phonegap app, something like this:notification setting What is the best way to achieve it?

My Research

In my research, I found information about the installation of different push notification plugins and recommendations to implement notification settings but no luck with this specific question I asked above.

My Knowledge

I am new to Phonegap and even mobile development and building my first mobile app.

My Assumption

I am assuming that I have to have a server where I would store these settings for each user and my code will look for these settings for each user before sending them notifications.

My Environment

  • Using Phonegap build cli-7.0.1
  • For notification through FCM, using phonegap-plugin-push
  • So far I don't have server to store any user data or to send notification from. I tested FCM notification though FCM web interface.
Solution

  • You can use firebase for the required purpose. FCM for sending the notifications and firebase cloud functions for the server-side processing. You have to use FCM for android/ios and not web for phonegap-push-plugin.FYI firebase does offer a free plan and also the learning curve is not very steep.
