Send push to Android by C# using FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging)

Send push to Android by C# using FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) - c#

I am using this code to send notification message by C# with GCM, using Winforms, Webforms, whatever. Now I want to send to FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging). Should I update my code? :
public class AndroidGCMPushNotification
{
public AndroidGCMPushNotification()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
public string SendNotification(string deviceId, string message)
{
string SERVER_API_KEY = "server api key";
var SENDER_ID = "application number";
var value = message;
WebRequest tRequest;
tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = " application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", SERVER_API_KEY));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", SENDER_ID));
string postData = "collapse_key=score_update&time_to_live=108&delay_while_idle=1&data.message=" + value + "&data.time=" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString() + "&registration_id=" + deviceId + "";
Console.WriteLine(postData);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse();
dataStream = tResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
tReader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
tResponse.Close();
return sResponseFromServer;
}
}
but the GCM was changed to FCM. Is this same code to send the notification?
Where can I find the SERVER_API_KEY? Is the same solution?

firebase cloud messaging with c#:
working all .net platform (asp.net, .netmvc, .netcore)
WebRequest tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
//serverKey - Key from Firebase cloud messaging server
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", "AIXXXXXX...."));
//Sender Id - From firebase project setting
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", "XXXXX.."));
tRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
var payload = new
{
to = "e8EHtMwqsZY:APA91bFUktufXdsDLdXXXXXX..........XXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
priority = "high",
content_available = true,
notification = new
{
body = "Test",
title = "Test",
badge = 1
},
data = new
{
key1 = "value1",
key2 = "value2"
}
};
string postbody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(payload).ToString();
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postbody);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = tResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
if (dataStreamResponse != null) using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse))
{
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
//result.Response = sResponseFromServer;
}
}
}
}

Here is another approach of writing Notification Service inside ASP.Net REST API.
public async Task<bool> NotifyAsync(string to, string title, string body)
{
try
{
// Get the server key from FCM console
var serverKey = string.Format("key={0}", "Your server key - use app config");
// Get the sender id from FCM console
var senderId = string.Format("id={0}", "Your sender id - use app config");
var data = new
{
to, // Recipient device token
notification = new { title, body }
};
// Using Newtonsoft.Json
var jsonBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
using (var httpRequest = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send"))
{
httpRequest.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", serverKey);
httpRequest.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Sender", senderId);
httpRequest.Content = new StringContent(jsonBody, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
var result = await httpClient.SendAsync(httpRequest);
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
return true;
}
else
{
// Use result.StatusCode to handle failure
// Your custom error handler here
_logger.LogError($"Error sending notification. Status Code: {result.StatusCode}");
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
_logger.LogError($"Exception thrown in Notify Service: {ex}");
}
return false;
}

I have posted this answer as this question was viewed most and this server side code was written in VS 2015 in C# for sending push notification either single device based on device id or subscribed topic to Xamarin Android app
public class FCMPushNotification
{
public FCMPushNotification()
{
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
}
public bool Successful
{
get;
set;
}
public string Response
{
get;
set;
}
public Exception Error
{
get;
set;
}
public FCMPushNotification SendNotification(string _title, string _message, string _topic)
{
FCMPushNotification result = new FCMPushNotification();
try
{
result.Successful = true;
result.Error = null;
// var value = message;
var requestUri = "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send";
WebRequest webRequest = WebRequest.Create(requestUri);
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", YOUR_FCM_SERVER_API_KEY));
webRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", YOUR_FCM_SENDER_ID));
webRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
var data = new
{
// to = YOUR_FCM_DEVICE_ID, // Uncoment this if you want to test for single device
to="/topics/"+_topic, // this is for topic
notification=new
{
title=_title,
body=_message,
//icon="myicon"
}
};
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var json = serializer.Serialize(data);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
webRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = webResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse))
{
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
result.Response = sResponseFromServer;
}
}
}
}
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
result.Successful = false;
result.Response = null;
result.Error = ex;
}
return result;
}
}
and its uses
// start sending push notification to apps
FCMPushNotification fcmPush = new FCMPushNotification();
fcmPush.SendNotification("your notificatin title", "Your body message","news");
// end push notification

Yes, you should update your code to use Firebase Messaging interface.
There's a GitHub Project for that here.
using Stimulsoft.Base.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.Net;

{
private string FireBase_URL = "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send";
private string key_server;
public FireBasePush(String Key_Server)
{
this.key_server = Key_Server;
}
public dynamic SendPush(PushMessage message)
{
HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(FireBase_URL);
request.Method = "POST";
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "key=" + this.key_server);
request.ContentType = "application/json";
string json = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(message);
//json = json.Replace("content_available", "content-available");
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
HttpWebResponse respuesta = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
if (respuesta.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Accepted || respuesta.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK || respuesta.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.Created)
{
StreamReader read = new StreamReader(respuesta.GetResponseStream());
String result = read.ReadToEnd();
read.Close();
respuesta.Close();
dynamic stuff = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(result);
return stuff;
}
else
{
throw new Exception("Ocurrio un error al obtener la respuesta del servidor: " + respuesta.StatusCode);
}
}
}

Based on Teste's code .. I can confirm the following works. I can't say whether or not this is "good" code, but it certainly works and could get you back up and running quickly if you ended up with GCM to FCM server problems!
public AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus SendNotification(string serverApiKey, string senderId, string deviceId, string message)
{
AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus result = new AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus();
try
{
result.Successful = false;
result.Error = null;
var value = message;
WebRequest tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", serverApiKey));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", senderId));
string postData = "collapse_key=score_update&time_to_live=108&delay_while_idle=1&data.message=" + value + "&data.time=" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString() + "&registration_id=" + deviceId + "";
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = tResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse))
{
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
result.Response = sResponseFromServer;
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
result.Successful = false;
result.Response = null;
result.Error = ex;
}
return result;
}
public class AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus
{
public bool Successful
{
get;
set;
}
public string Response
{
get;
set;
}
public Exception Error
{
get;
set;
}
}

You need change url from https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send to https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send and change your app library too. this tutorial can help you https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/server#implementing-http-connection-server-protocol

Try to send a json object.
Replace this:
tRequest.ContentType = " application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
string postData = "collapse_key=score_update&time_to_live=108&delay_while_idle=1&data.message=" + value + "&data.time=" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString() + "&registration_id=" + deviceId + "";
Console.WriteLine(postData);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
For this:
tRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
var data = new
{
to = deviceId,
notification = new
{
body = "This is the message",
title = "This is the title",
icon = "myicon"
}
};
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var json = serializer.Serialize(data);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);

Here's the code for server side firebase cloud request from C# / Asp.net.
Please note that your client side should have same topic.
e.g.
FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().subscribeToTopic("news");
public String SendNotificationFromFirebaseCloud()
{
var result = "-1";
var webAddr = "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send";
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(webAddr);
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization:key=" + YOUR_FIREBASE_SERVER_KEY);
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = "{\"to\": \"/topics/news\",\"data\": {\"message\": \"This is a Firebase Cloud Messaging Topic Message!\",}}";
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
return result;
}

You can use this library, makes it seamless to send push notifications using Firebase Service from a C# backend download here

public SendNotice(int deviceType, string deviceToken, string message, int badge, int status, string sound)
{
AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus result = new AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus();
try
{
result.Successful = false;
result.Error = null;
var value = message;
WebRequest tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
var json = "";
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", "AA******"));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", "11********"));
if (DeviceType == 2)
{
var body = new
{
to = deviceToken,
data = new
{
custom_notification = new
{
title = "Notification",
body = message,
sound = "default",
priority = "high",
show_in_foreground = true,
targetScreen = notificationType,//"detail",
},
},
priority = 10
};
json = serializer.Serialize(body);
}
else
{
var body = new
{
to = deviceToken,
content_available = true,
notification = new
{
title = "Notification",
body = message,
sound = "default",
show_in_foreground = true,
},
data = new
{
targetScreen = notificationType,
id = 0,
},
priority = 10
};
json = serializer.Serialize(body);
}
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(json);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = tResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse))
{
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
result.Response = sResponseFromServer;
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
result.Successful = false;
result.Response = null;
result.Error = ex;
}
}

I write this code and It's worked for me .
public static string ExcutePushNotification(string title, string msg, string fcmToken, object data)
{
var serverKey = "AAAA*******************";
var senderId = "3333333333333";
var result = "-1";
var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
httpWebRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", serverKey));
httpWebRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", senderId));
httpWebRequest.Method = "POST";
var payload = new
{
notification = new
{
title = title,
body = msg,
sound = "default"
},
data = new
{
info = data
},
to = fcmToken,
priority = "high",
content_available = true,
};
var serializer = new JavaScriptSerializer();
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(httpWebRequest.GetRequestStream()))
{
string json = serializer.Serialize(payload);
streamWriter.Write(json);
streamWriter.Flush();
}
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)httpWebRequest.GetResponse();
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(httpResponse.GetResponseStream()))
{
result = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
return result;
}

I am using this approach and it is working fine:
public class PushNotification
{
private static readonly ILog Logger = LogManager.GetLogger(System.Reflection.MethodBase.GetCurrentMethod().DeclaringType);
// firebase
private static Uri FireBasePushNotificationsURL = new Uri("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
private static string ServerKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["FIREBASESERVERKEY"];
public static async Task<bool> SendPushNotification(List<SendNotificationModel> notificationData)
{
try
{
bool sent = false;
foreach (var data in notificationData)
{
var messageInformation = new Message()
{
notification = new Notification()
{
title = data.Title,
text = data.Message,
ClickAction = "FCM_PLUGIN_ACTIVITY"
},
data = data.data,
priority="high",
to =data.DeviceId
};
string jsonMessage = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(messageInformation);
//Create request to Firebase API
var request = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, FireBasePushNotificationsURL);
request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", "key=" + ServerKey);
request.Content = new StringContent(jsonMessage, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
HttpResponseMessage result;
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
result = await client.SendAsync(request);
sent = result.IsSuccessStatusCode;
}
}
return sent;
}
catch(Exception ex)
{
Logger.Error(ex);
return false;
}
}
}

Following Approach, I have used for writing Firebase Notification Service inside ASP.Net REST API.
public async Task<bool> NotifyAsync(string to, string title, string body)
{
try
{
//Server key from FCM console
var serverKey = string.Format("key={0}", "Provide your Server key here from Fibase console");
//Sender id from FCM console
var senderId = string.Format("id={0}", "Provide your Sender Id here from Firebase Console");
var data = new
{
to, // Recipient device token
notification = new { title, body }
};
// Using Newtonsoft.Json
var jsonBody = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data);
using (var httpRequest = new HttpRequestMessage(HttpMethod.Post, "https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send"))
{
httpRequest.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Authorization", serverKey);
httpRequest.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Sender", senderId);
httpRequest.Content = new StringContent(jsonBody, Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
using (var httpClient = new HttpClient())
{
var result = await httpClient.SendAsync(httpRequest);
if (result.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
return true;
}
else
{
// Use result.StatusCode to handle failure
// Your custom error handler here
return false;
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw ex;
}
return false;
}

Poloniex Command should not be sent in the header, you should send it as a POST parameter, that's why it's responding "invalid command". Take a look at this answer to see how you send POST parameters in c#:How to add parameters into a WebRequest?
Here's an example of how your Start method should look like:
void Start()
{
string nonce = DateTime.Now.ToString("HHmmss");
string myParam = "command=returnBalances&nonce=" + nonce;
const string WEBSERVICE_URL = "https://poloniex.com/tradingApi";
try
{
var webRequest = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(WEBSERVICE_URL);
if (webRequest != null)
{
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.Timeout = 12000;
webRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
webRequest.Headers.Add("Key", _apiKey);
webRequest.Headers.Add("Sign", genHMAC(myParam));
byte[] dataStream = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes($"command=returnBalances&nonce={nonce.ToString()}");
webRequest.ContentLength = dataStream.Length;
Stream newStream = webRequest.GetRequestStream();
newStream.Write(dataStream, 0, dataStream.Length);
newStream.Close();
using (System.IO.Stream s = webRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
{
using (System.IO.StreamReader sr = new System.IO.StreamReader(s))
{
var jsonResponse = sr.ReadToEnd();
OutputText.text = jsonResponse.ToString();
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
OutputText.text = ex.ToString();

Set the Authentication Token Profile Header

I have an OpenIdConnect Server I'm connecting to an I would like to forward token data the first time logging in to be stored on the server. Currently I'm doing this to forward the access token
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.open("GET", url);
xhr.onload = function () {
log(xhr.status, JSON.parse(xhr.responseText));
}
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Bearer " + user.access_token);
xhr.send();
I want to send the Profile Data as well but I don't know the proper header.
How can I do something like this:
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization-Profile", "Bearer " + user.profile);
Does anyone know the proper header so I can add these claims to the access token.

Here is an example of what we did in one of our project:
Created a common API response class as below:
public class ApiCommonResponse
{
public object Object { get; set; }
public int httpStatus { get; set; }
public string httpErrorMessage { get; set; }
}
And a generic method to call GET and POST API endpoints. This method will map the response to the supplied data model and will return you the object.
public static ApiCommonResponse GetApiData<T>(string token, T dataModel, string apiEndPoint = null)
{
var responseText = "";
var apiCommonResponse = new ApiCommonResponse();
if (apiEndPoint != null)
{
var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(apiEndPoint);
request.Method = "GET";
request.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);
request.Headers.Add("X-Api-Version", "");
try
{
var httpResponse = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();
var stream = httpResponse.GetResponseStream();
if (stream != null)
{
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(stream))
{
responseText = streamReader.ReadToEnd();
}
}
}
catch (WebException we)
{
var stream = we.Response.GetResponseStream();
if (stream != null)
{
var resp = new StreamReader(stream).ReadToEnd();
dynamic obj = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(resp);
throw new Exception(obj.ToString());
}
}
}
var jsonSettings = new JsonSerializerSettings { MissingMemberHandling = MissingMemberHandling.Ignore };
apiCommonResponse.Object = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<T>(responseText, jsonSettings);
apiCommonResponse.httpStatus = 0;
return apiCommonResponse;
}
public static ApiCommonResponse PostApiData<T>(string username, string token, T dataModel, string apiEndPoint = null)
{
var apiCommonResponse = new ApiCommonResponse();
if (apiEndPoint == null) return null;
var webRequest = WebRequest.Create(apiEndPoint);
webRequest.Method = "POST";
webRequest.Timeout = 20000;
webRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + token);
webRequest.Headers.Add("X-Api-Version", "");
using (var requeststreams = webRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
using (var sw = new StreamWriter(requeststreams))
{
sw.Write(JsonConvert.SerializeObject(dataModel));
}
}
try
{
var httpStatus = (((HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse()).StatusCode);
var httpMessage = (((HttpWebResponse)webRequest.GetResponse()).StatusDescription);
using (var s = webRequest.GetResponse().GetResponseStream())
{
if (s == null) return null;

Link of the Code I try it.
public AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus SendNotification(string serverApiKey, string senderId, string deviceId, string message)
{
AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus result = new AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus();
try
{
result.Successful = false;
result.Error = null;
var value = message;
WebRequest tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", serverApiKey));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", senderId));
string postData = "collapse_key=score_update&time_to_live=108&delay_while_idle=1&data.message=" + value
+ "&data.time=" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString() + "&registration_id=" + deviceId + "";
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
using (Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream())
{
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
using (WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse())
{
using (Stream dataStreamResponse = tResponse.GetResponseStream())
{
using (StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStreamResponse))
{
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
result.Response = sResponseFromServer;
}
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
result.Successful = false;
result.Response = null;
result.Error = ex;
}
return result;
}
public class AndroidFCMPushNotificationStatus
{
public bool Successful
{
get;
set;
}
public string Response
{
get;
set;
}
public Exception Error
{
get;
set;
}
}

I find the answer of this problem in other question. The solution is using anonymous types then convert it to Json by JavaScriptSerializer.
You can read it in this link.

Toggl API v8 with .NET

I'm trying to use the new Toggl API (v8) with .NET C#. I've based my code on the example from litemedia (http://litemedia.info/connect-to-toggl-api-with-net), but it was originally created for version 1 of the API.
private const string TogglTasksUrl = "https://www.toggl.com/api/v8/tasks.json";
private const string TogglAuthUrl = "https://www.toggl.com/api/v8/me"; //sessions.json";
private const string AuthenticationType = "Basic";
private const string ApiToken = "user token goes here";
private const string Password = "api_token";
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
CookieContainer container = new CookieContainer();
var authRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(TogglAuthUrl);
authRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
authRequest.Method = "POST";
authRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
authRequest.CookieContainer = container;
string value = ApiToken; //= Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(ApiToken));
value = string.Format("{1}:{0}", Password, value);
//value = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes(value));
authRequest.ContentLength = value.Length;
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(authRequest.GetRequestStream(), Encoding.ASCII))
{
writer.Write(value);
}
try
{
var authResponse = (HttpWebResponse)authRequest.GetResponse();
using (var reader = new StreamReader(authResponse.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8))
{
string content = reader.ReadToEnd();
}
HttpWebRequest tasksRequest = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create(TogglTasksUrl);
tasksRequest.CookieContainer = container;
//var jsonResult = string.Empty;
var tasksResponse = (HttpWebResponse)tasksRequest.GetResponse();
MemoryStream ms = new MemoryStream();
tasksResponse.GetResponseStream().CopyTo(ms);
//using (var reader = new StreamReader(tasksResponse.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8))
//{
// jsonResult = reader.ReadToEnd();
//}
ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
DataContractJsonSerializer ser = new DataContractJsonSerializer(typeof(Task));
var tasks = ser.ReadObject(ms) as List<Task>;
ms.Close();
//var tasks = DataContractJsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Task[]>(jsonResult);
foreach (var task in tasks)
{
Console.WriteLine(
"{0} - {1}: {2} starting {3:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm}",
task.Project.Name,
task.Description,
TimeSpan.FromSeconds(task.Duration),
task.Start);
}
}
catch (System.Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
}
The following line is returning a 404 error.
var authResponse = (HttpWebResponse)authRequest.GetResponse();

Here is code that works. Since I was looking for this answer recently there might still be others as lost as me.
Notes: I used Encoding.Default.GetBytes() because Encoding.Unicode.GetBytes() did not give me a correct result on my .NET string. I hope it doesn't depend on the default setup of Visual Studio.
The content-type is "application/json".
Sorry, I haven't tried a POST version yet.
string ApiToken = "user token goes here";
string url = "https://www.toggl.com/api/v8/me";
string userpass = ApiToken + ":api_token";
string userpassB64 = Convert.ToBase64String(Encoding.Default.GetBytes(userpass.Trim()));
string authHeader = "Basic " + userpassB64;
HttpWebRequest authRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
authRequest.Headers.Add("Authorization", authHeader);
authRequest.Method = "GET";
authRequest.ContentType = "application/json";
//authRequest.Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
try
{
var response = (HttpWebResponse)authRequest.GetResponse();
string result = null;
using (Stream stream = response.GetResponseStream())
{
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(stream);
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
}
if (null != result)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(result.ToString());
}
// Get the headers
object headers = response.Headers;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Message + "\n" + e.ToString());
}

How to send Android push notifications via GCM on C# .Net

I'm new to all Android GCM push notifications and I have read stack posts but couldn't get a straight answer.I have also read Create push notification in android to get a better understanding of how GCM works. I have also used the gcm-demo-server and gcm-demo-client provided by the SDK. However, here are my doubts and what I have tried so far:
Regarding the link I have put, the phone which has the app registers to get the registration key. Is this a unique key for all phones which uses the same app?
Does this registration key expires in any case? (E.g. App running on background)
Assuming that I have the registration key, I have tried the following code snippet to push notification via GCM to my app. This is written on c# .net. Please let me know whether what I have mentioned above can be achieved using the following code snippet:
private string SendGCMNotification(string apiKey, string postData, string postDataContentType = "application/json")
{
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate);
// MESSAGE CONTENT
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
// CREATE REQUEST
HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
Request.Method = "POST";
Request.KeepAlive = false;
Request.ContentType = postDataContentType;
Request.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", apiKey));
Request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = Request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
// SEND MESSAGE
try
{
WebResponse Response = Request.GetResponse();
HttpStatusCode ResponseCode = ((HttpWebResponse)Response).StatusCode;
if (ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized) || ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden))
{
var text = "Unauthorized - need new token";
}
else if (!ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.OK))
{
var text = "Response from web service isn't OK";
}
StreamReader Reader = new StreamReader(Response.GetResponseStream());
string responseLine = Reader.ReadToEnd();
Reader.Close();
return responseLine;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
return "error";
}
Is there a direct way of sending push notifications without the phone first being registered in our custom server?

Refer Code:
public class AndroidGCMPushNotification
{
public AndroidGCMPushNotification()
{
//
// TODO: Add constructor logic here
//
}
public string SendNotification(string deviceId, string message)
{
string SERVER_API_KEY = "server api key";
var SENDER_ID = "application number";
var value = message;
WebRequest tRequest;
tRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
tRequest.Method = "post";
tRequest.ContentType = " application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8";
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", SERVER_API_KEY));
tRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", SENDER_ID));
string postData = "collapse_key=score_update&time_to_live=108&delay_while_idle=1&data.message=" + value + "&data.time=" + System.DateTime.Now.ToString() + "&registration_id=" + deviceId + "";
Console.WriteLine(postData);
Byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
tRequest.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = tRequest.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
WebResponse tResponse = tRequest.GetResponse();
dataStream = tResponse.GetResponseStream();
StreamReader tReader = new StreamReader(dataStream);
String sResponseFromServer = tReader.ReadToEnd();
tReader.Close();
dataStream.Close();
tResponse.Close();
return sResponseFromServer;
}
}

Code looks bit long but it works. I just sent a push notification to my phone after struggling 2 days by implementing the following code in C# project. I referred a link regarding this implementation, But couldn't find it to post here. So will share my code with you. If you want to test the Notification online you may visit to this link.
note : I have hardcorded apiKey, deviceId and postData, please pass
the apiKey,deviceId and postData in your request and remove them from
the method body. If you want pass message string also
public string SendGCMNotification(string apiKey, string deviceId, string postData)
{
string postDataContentType = "application/json";
apiKey = "AIzaSyC13...PhtPvBj1Blihv_J4"; // hardcorded
deviceId = "da5azdfZ0hc:APA91bGM...t8uH"; // hardcorded
string message = "Your text";
string tickerText = "example test GCM";
string contentTitle = "content title GCM";
postData =
"{ \"registration_ids\": [ \"" + deviceId + "\" ], " +
"\"data\": {\"tickerText\":\"" + tickerText + "\", " +
"\"contentTitle\":\"" + contentTitle + "\", " +
"\"message\": \"" + message + "\"}}";
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate);
//
// MESSAGE CONTENT
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
//
// CREATE REQUEST
HttpWebRequest Request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send");
Request.Method = "POST";
Request.KeepAlive = false;
Request.ContentType = postDataContentType;
Request.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", apiKey));
Request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = Request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
//
// SEND MESSAGE
try
{
WebResponse Response = Request.GetResponse();
HttpStatusCode ResponseCode = ((HttpWebResponse)Response).StatusCode;
if (ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized) || ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.Forbidden))
{
var text = "Unauthorized - need new token";
}
else if (!ResponseCode.Equals(HttpStatusCode.OK))
{
var text = "Response from web service isn't OK";
}
StreamReader Reader = new StreamReader(Response.GetResponseStream());
string responseLine = Reader.ReadToEnd();
Reader.Close();
return responseLine;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
}
return "error";
}
public static bool ValidateServerCertificate(
object sender,
X509Certificate certificate,
X509Chain chain,
SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors)
{
return true;
}
You may not familiar with words like apiKey, deviceId. Dont worry i will explain what are they and how to create those.
apiKey What & why :This a key that will be used when sending requests to GCM server. How to create : Refer this post
deviceId What & why : This id also known as RegistrationId. This is a unique id to identify the device. When you want to send a
notification to a specific device you need this id. How to
create: This depends on how you implement the application. For cordova
i used a simple pushNotification Plugin You can simply create a
deviceId/RegistrationId using this plugin. To do that you need to have
a senderId. Google how to create a senderId it is really simple =)
If anyone needs some help leave a comment.
Happy Coding.

Just for the information for new visitors on this post, if you want to send same message to multiple devices then simply send comma separated device ids in registration_id parameter of request.
Here is a nice article on this
http://www.codewithasp.net/2015/11/send-message-gcm-c-sharp-single-multiple.html

This never worked for me and it is hard to debug plus passing a list of registration token is not clear -would expect passing a string array instead of comma separated string - , the fact that this is very simple post request i created my own class with a method that return the server response, and it works very well:
Usage
//Registration Token
string[] registrationIds ={"diks4vp5......","erPjEb9....."};
AndroidGcmPushNotification gcmPushNotification = new
AndroidGcmPushNotification(
"API KEY", registrationIds, "Hello World"
);
gcmPushNotification.SendGcmNotification();

public AndroidGcmPushNotification(string apiAccessKey, string[] registrationIds, string message, string title = "",

{
_apiAccessKey = apiAccessKey;
_registrationIds = registrationIds;
_message = message;

_tickerText = tickerText;
_vibrate = vibrate;
_sound = sound;
}
public string SendGcmNotification()

};
//MESSAGE FIELDS
GcmPostFields fields = new GcmPostFields();
fields.registration_ids = _registrationIds;
fields.data = data;
//SERIALIZE TO JSON
JavaScriptSerializer jsonEncode = new JavaScriptSerializer();
//CONTENTS
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(jsonEncode.Serialize(fields));

request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;
Stream dataStream = request.GetRequestStream();
dataStream.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
dataStream.Close();
//SEND REQUEST
try
{
WebResponse response = request.GetResponse();
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string responseLine = reader.ReadToEnd();
reader.Close();
return responseLine;
}
}
catch (Exception e)

There is package PushSharp.
Allows to communicate with almost every popular notification api.
Example code:
// Configuration
var config = new GcmConfiguration ("GCM-SENDER-ID", "AUTH-TOKEN", null);
// Create a new broker
var gcmBroker = new GcmServiceBroker (config);
// Wire up events
gcmBroker.OnNotificationFailed += (notification, aggregateEx) => {
aggregateEx.Handle (ex => {
// See what kind of exception it was to further diagnose
if (ex is GcmNotificationException) {
var notificationException = (GcmNotificationException)ex;
// Deal with the failed notification
var gcmNotification = notificationException.Notification;
var description = notificationException.Description;
Console.WriteLine ($"GCM Notification Failed: ID={gcmNotification.MessageId}, Desc={description}");
} else if (ex is GcmMulticastResultException) {
var multicastException = (GcmMulticastResultException)ex;
foreach (var succeededNotification in multicastException.Succeeded) {
Console.WriteLine ($"GCM Notification Failed: ID={succeededNotification.MessageId}");
}
foreach (var failedKvp in multicastException.Failed) {
var n = failedKvp.Key;
var e = failedKvp.Value;
Console.WriteLine ($"GCM Notification Failed: ID={n.MessageId}, Desc={e.Description}");
}
} else if (ex is DeviceSubscriptionExpiredException) {
var expiredException = (DeviceSubscriptionExpiredException)ex;
var oldId = expiredException.OldSubscriptionId;
var newId = expiredException.NewSubscriptionId;
Console.WriteLine ($"Device RegistrationId Expired: {oldId}");
if (!string.IsNullOrWhitespace (newId)) {
// If this value isn't null, our subscription changed and we should update our database
Console.WriteLine ($"Device RegistrationId Changed To: {newId}");
}
} else if (ex is RetryAfterException) {
var retryException = (RetryAfterException)ex;
// If you get rate limited, you should stop sending messages until after the RetryAfterUtc date
Console.WriteLine ($"GCM Rate Limited, don't send more until after {retryException.RetryAfterUtc}");
} else {
Console.WriteLine ("GCM Notification Failed for some unknown reason");
}
// Mark it as handled
return true;
});
};
gcmBroker.OnNotificationSucceeded += (notification) => {
Console.WriteLine ("GCM Notification Sent!");
};
// Start the broker
gcmBroker.Start ();
foreach (var regId in MY_REGISTRATION_IDS) {
// Queue a notification to send
gcmBroker.QueueNotification (new GcmNotification {
RegistrationIds = new List<string> {
regId
},
Data = JObject.Parse ("{ \"somekey\" : \"somevalue\" }")
});
}
// Stop the broker, wait for it to finish
// This isn't done after every message, but after you're
// done with the broker
gcmBroker.Stop ();
