Hello everyone, Today we will learn Huawei Push Kit.
Note : Used within the Huawei Map Kit application. Similar steps exist.

HUAWEI Push Kit is a messaging service provided for you. It establishes a messaging channel from the cloud to devices. By integrating Push Kit, you can send messages to your apps on users' devices in real time. This helps you maintain closer ties with users and increases user awareness of and engagement with your apps. The following figure shows the process of sending messages from the cloud to devices.
Currently, Push Kit has been supported in mobile phones, tablets, HUAWEI Vision, HUAWEI Watch, and Volvo and Dongfeng Sokon head units.
You can follow the steps in this blog post.
The steps we need to integrate for Push Kit are as follows.
- We activate Push Kit from the Manage API section
- We are making Push Kit integrations.
- We choose Germany from the data storage location section.
- We fill in the fields below for the notification example.
- When we click the test effect button, it will ask us for tokens.
In this step, we will be able to learn the token value we need when we integrate the Push Kit into the application.
- Push Kit added in build.gradle(:app)
implementation 'com.huawei.hms:push:6.1.0.300'
- We create a function in Main Activity. We define an instance to get the token value.
private fun getToken() {
object : Thread() {
override fun run() {
try {
val appId = AGConnectOptionsBuilder().build(this@MainActivity)
.getString("client/app_id")
val token = HmsInstanceId.getInstance(this@MainActivity)
.getToken(appId, "HCM")
Log.i("PUSH", "getToken() token: $token")
} catch (e: ApiException) {
Log.e("PUSH", "getToken() failure: ${e.message}")
}
}
}.start()
}
Run the application. The token value is displayed in the log section.
Put this token value in the field in the Push Kit test.
It will test the application with Cloud Debugging.You can run the application by following the below document.
We have done all the necessary actions. Congratulations 🥳 You have developed the first Huawei Push Kit application.
You can test the application with Postman by following the steps below.
- Download the json file located in the url below.
https://gist.github.com/halilozel1903/a9bc9c09bd00ac490fbb26d4ffeefa38
- Open Postman. Import the file. (Postman -> file -> import) After you import, we can send 3 requests
- Replace the app_id and app_secret values in the body with the App ID and App secret values on the application home page of the Huawei Console. Replace the fields in the image below with the values in your own project.
-
Change the app_id value in the link in the Send notification and Send data message files with the App ID on the application page in the console.
-
Open the Send notification and Send data message files and replace the push_token part in the Body with the token we get from the application logs.
- Open the Get access token file and click the Send button to get access token. The access token is valid for 3600 seconds and you need to renew it later.
- Open the Send notification and Send data message file and replace the access_token part in Authorization with the access token we got in before step. Don't forget to delete this characters \ in the access token.
When we follow the steps above and make a request, we will have successfully seen our notifications on the screen.
