With only a minimum of coding, Firebase provides your Android app with simple push notifications and collects analytics to measure user engagement. However, if you need to customize the notifications or their behavior, you need to implement everything yourself. For a recent Android news app I developed, I wanted to use push messaging to inform users when new articles were published. This talk will describe how I used three Firebase tools (Notifications, Cloud Messaging, and Analytics) to implement custom notifications and analytics to track their performance.
