Personalização das notificações por push

Prerequisites

Before you can use this feature, you’ll need to integrate the Android Braze SDK. You’ll also need to set up push notifications.

Using a callback for push events

Braze provides a subscribeToPushNotificationEvents() callback for when push notifications are received, opened, or dismissed. It is recommended to place this callback in your Application.onCreate() in order to not miss any events occurring while your application is not running.

  // Sent when a user has dismissed a notification
  final boolean isPushDeletedEvent = event.getEventType() == BrazePushEventType.NOTIFICATION_DELETED;

  // Notification data
  //
  final String pushTitle = parsedData.getTitleText();
  final Long pushArrivalTimeMs = parsedData.getNotificationReceivedTimestampMillis();
  final String deeplink = parsedData.getDeeplink();

  //
  // Custom KVP data
  //
  final String myCustomKvp1 = parsedData.getBrazeExtras().getString("my first kvp");
  final String myCustomKvp2 = parsedData.getBrazeExtras().getString("my second kvp");
});

    val isPushOpenEvent = event.eventType == BrazePushEventType.NOTIFICATION_OPENED

}

Customizing fonts

Step 1: Create a font family

The following is an example custom font family definition using the font family guide. For this example, we use the Bungee Shade font.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<font-family xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
             xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto">

  <!--Note: You must declare both sets of attributes
      so that your fonts load on devices running Android 8.0 (API level 26) or lower.
      See https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/look-and-feel/fonts-in-xml.html -->

  <font android:fontStyle="normal"
        android:fontWeight="400"
        android:font="@font/bungeeshade"

        app:fontStyle="normal"
        app:fontWeight="400"
        app:font="@font/bungeeshade"/>
</font-family>

After storing the font family definition in /res/font/bungee_font_family.xml, we can refer to it in XML as @font/bungee_font_family.

Step 2: Reference your font family

Now that the font family is created, you can override Braze style defaults in your styles.xml to include references to the font family.

For example, the following styles override would use the bungee font family for all Braze in-app messages.

  <item name="fontFamily">@font/bungee_font_family</item>
</style>

<style name="Braze.Cards">
  <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/another_custom_font_family</item>
  <item name="fontFamily">@font/another_custom_font_family</item>
</style>

Customizing notification display

Step 1: Create your custom notification factory

In some scenarios, you may wish to customize push notifications in ways that would be cumbersome or unavailable server side. To give you complete control of notification display, we’ve added the ability to define your own IBrazeNotificationFactory to create notification objects for display by Braze.

If a custom IBrazeNotificationFactory is set, Braze will call your factory’s createNotification() method upon push receipt before the notification is displayed to the user. Braze will pass in a Bundle containing Braze push data and another Bundle containing custom key-value pairs sent either via the dashboard or the messaging APIs:

Braze will pass in a BrazeNotificationPayload containing data from the Braze push notification.

• java
• kotlin

// Factory method implemented in your custom IBrazeNotificationFactory
@Override
public Notification createNotification(BrazeNotificationPayload brazeNotificationPayload) {
  // Example of getting notification title
  String title = brazeNotificationPayload.getTitleText();

  // Example of retrieving a custom KVP ("my_key" -> "my_value")
  String customKvp = brazeNotificationPayload.getBrazeExtras().getString("my_key");
}

// Factory method implemented in your custom IBrazeNotificationFactory
override fun createNotification(brazeNotificationPayload: BrazeNotificationPayload): Notification {
  // Example of getting notification title
  val title = brazeNotificationPayload.getTitleText()

  // Example of retrieving a custom KVP ("my_key" -> "my_value")
  val customKvp = brazeNotificationPayload.getBrazeExtras().getString("my_key")
}

You can return null from your custom createNotification() method to not show the notification at all, use BrazeNotificationFactory.getInstance().createNotification() to obtain our default notification object for that data and modify it before display, or generate a completely separate notification object for display.

Step 2: Set your custom notification factory

To instruct Braze to use your custom notification factory, use the setCustomBrazeNotificationFactory method to set your IBrazeNotificationFactory:

• java
• kotlin

1
setCustomBrazeNotificationFactory(IBrazeNotificationFactory brazeNotificationFactory);

1
setCustomBrazeNotificationFactory(brazeNotificationFactory: IBrazeNotificationFactory)

The recommended place to set your custom IBrazeNotificationFactory is in the Application.onCreate() application lifecycle method (not activity). This will allow the notification factory to be set correctly whenever your app process is active.

To unset your custom IBrazeNotificationFactory and return to default Braze handling for push, pass in null to our custom notification factory setter:

• java
• kotlin

1
setCustomBrazeNotificationFactory(null);

1
setCustomBrazeNotificationFactory(null)

Rendering multiplier text

In Braze SDK version 3.1.1, HTML can be sent to a device to render multiplier text in push notifications.

This example is rendered with the following HTML:

1
2
3
<p><span style="color: #99cc00;">M</span>u<span style="color: #008080;">lti</span>Colo<span style="color: #ff6600;">r</span> <span style="color: #000080;">P</span><span style="color: #00ccff;">u</span><span style="color: #ff0000;">s</span><span style="color: #808080;">h</span></p>

<p><em>test</em> <span style="text-decoration: underline; background-color: #ff6600;"><strong>message</strong></span></p>

Keep in mind that, Android limits which HTML elements and tags are valid in your push notifications. For example, marquee is not allowed.

To render multicolor text in a push notification, you can update your braze.xml or BrazeConfig:

• braze.xml
• brazeconfig

1
<bool translatable="false" name="com_braze_push_notification_html_rendering_enabled">true</bool>

BrazeConfig brazeConfig = new BrazeConfig.Builder()
  .setPushHtmlRenderingEnabled(true)
  .build();
Braze.configure(this, brazeConfig);

val brazeConfig = BrazeConfig.Builder()
    .setPushHtmlRenderingEnabled(true)
    .build()
Braze.configure(this, brazeConfig)

Supported HTML tags

Currently, Google doesn’t list their supported HTML tags for Android directly in their documentation—this information can only be found in their Git repository’s Html.java file. Keep this in mind when referencing the following table, as this information was pulled from this file, and their supported HTML tags could be subject to change.

Rendering inline images

How it works

You can showcase a larger image within your Android push notification using inline image push. With this design, users won’t have to manually expand the push to enlarge the image. Unlike regular Android push notifications, inline image push images are in a 3:2 aspect ratio.

Compatibility

While you can send inline images to any device, devices and SDKs that don’t meet the minimum versions will display a standard image instead. For inline images to display properly, both the Android Braze SDK v10.0.0+ and a device running Android M+ are required.

Sending an inline image push

When creating an Android push message, this feature is available in the Notification Type dropdown.

Settings

There are many advanced settings available for Android push notifications sent through the Braze dashboard. This article will describe these features and how to use them successfully.

Notification ID

A Notification ID is a unique identifier for a message category of your choosing that informs the messaging service to only respect the most recent message from that ID. Setting a notification ID allows you to send just the most recent and relevant message, rather than a stack of outdated, irrelevant ones.

Firebase Messaging Delivery priority

The Firebase Messaging Delivery Priority field lets you control whether a push is sent with “normal” or “high” priority to Firebase Cloud Messaging.

Time to live (TTL)

The Time to Live (TTL) field allows you to set a custom length of time to store messages with the push messaging service. The default values for time to live are four weeks for FCM and 31 days for ADM.

Summary text

The summary text allows you to set additional text in the expanded notification view. It also serves as a caption for notifications with images.

The summary text will display under the body of the message in the expanded view.

For push notifications that include images, the message text will be shown in the collapsed view, while the summary text will be displayed as the image caption when the notification is expanded.

Custom URIs

The Custom URI feature allows you to specify a Web URL or an Android resource to navigate to when the notification is clicked. If no custom URI is specified, clicking on the notification brings users into your app. You can use the custom URI to deep link inside your app and direct users to resources that exist outside of your app. This can be specified via the Messaging API or our dashboard under Advanced Settings in the push composer as pictured:

Notification display priority

The priority level of a push notification affects how your notification is displayed in the notification tray relative to other notifications. It can also affect the speed and manner of delivery, as normal and lower priority messages may be sent with slightly higher latency or batched to preserve battery life, whereas high priority messages are always sent immediately.

In Android O, notification priority became a property of notification channels. You will need to work with your developer to define the priority for a channel during its configuration and then use the dashboard to select the proper channel when sending your notification sounds. For devices running versions of Android before O, specifying a priority level for Android notifications is possible via the Braze dashboard and messaging API.

To message your full user base with a specific priority, we recommend that you indirectly specify the priority through notification channel configuration (to target O+ devices) and send the individual priority from the dashboard (to target <O devices).

The priority levels that you can set on Android or Fire OS push notifications are:

For more information, refer to Google’s Android notification documentation.

Sounds

In Android O, notification sounds became a property of notification channels. You will need to work with your developer to define the sound for a channel during its configuration and then use the dashboard to select the proper channel when sending your notifications.

For devices running versions of Android before O, Braze allows you to set the sound of an individual push message through the dashboard composer. You can do so by specifying a local sound resource on the device (for example, android.resource://com.mycompany.myapp/raw/mysound). Specifying “default” in this field will play the default notification sound on the device. This can be specified via the Messaging API or the dashboard under Advanced Settings in the push composer.

Enter the full sound resource URI (for example, android.resource://com.mycompany.myapp/raw/mysound) into the dashboard prompt.

To message your full user base with a specific sound, we recommend that you indirectly specify the sound through notification channel configuration (to target O+ devices) and send the individual sound from the dashboard (to target <O devices).
