Firebase is Google’s doorman: it lets Notifique notify Android phones for your app. You only set this up once in the dashboard.

In a few words

  1. Create a project on Google’s site (Firebase)
  2. Register your Android app there
  3. Download an authorization file (JSON format)
  4. Paste it in Notifique under ⚙️ Settings → Android

What you’ll paste in Notifique

The package name is like the app’s ID on Android. It must be the same in Firebase, Notifique, and your project. If one place is different, push won’t work.

Step 1: Sign in to Firebase

  1. Open console.firebase.google.com
  2. Sign in with Google
  3. Click Add project and follow the screens until Create project
No expert knowledge needed, the wizard walks you through it.

Step 2: Register the Android app

  1. On the project screen, click the Android icon (green robot)
  2. Under Package name, type your app’s name, the same one your developer uses (e.g. com.mystore.app)
  3. Click Register app
  4. Firebase offers a google-services.json file, download and keep it. Your developer puts it in the Android project (so phones can receive alerts)
  5. Click Continue through the wizard

Step 3: Enable messaging (Cloud Messaging)

  1. Left menu: BuildCloud Messaging
  2. Accept terms the first time
That’s it, nothing else needed here to start.

Step 4: Download the authorization file (JSON)

  1. Click the gear ⚙️ next to Project overview
  2. Go to Project settings
  3. Service accounts tab
  4. Click Generate new private key and confirm
  5. Your browser downloads a .json file
This file is sensitive, don’t send it on WhatsApp or publish online. Use it only in Notifique.
Anyone with this file can send messages through your Google project. Treat it like a password.

Step 5: Paste into Notifique

  1. Open app.notifique.devPush → your app
  2. Click ⚙️ (top right)
  3. Scroll to Android
  4. Paste the full JSON in the first field
  5. Check that Project ID appeared
  6. In Package name, type the same name from step 2
  7. Click Save changes
Done. “Firebase already configured” means it worked.

Step 6: Test

  1. Back to Push App screen → Android tab
  2. Copy the code shown (or ask your developer to paste it)
  3. Open the app on an Android phone
  4. Send a test alert from the Notifique dashboard
