Android object

The android_push object allows you to define or request information related to Android Push and Android Push Alert content through our messaging endpoints.

Android push object

You must include an Android push object in messages if you want users you have targeted to receive a push on their Android devices. The total number of bytes in your alert string and extra object should not exceed 4,000. The Messaging API will return an error if you exceed the message size allowed by Google.

You can send “Big Picture” notifications by specifying the key appboy_image_url in the extra object. The value for appboy_image_url should be a URL that links to where your image is hosted. Images need to be cropped to a 2:1 aspect ratio and should be at least 600 x 300 px.

Additional parameter details

Parameter Details

priority This parameter will accept values from -2 to 2, where -2 represents “MIN” priority and 2 represents “MAX”. 0 is the “DEFAULT” value.

Any values sent outside of that range will default to 0. For more information on which priority level to use, see Android notification priority.

android_priority This parameter will accept values either “normal” or “high” to specify the FCM sender priority. By default, notification messages are sent with high priority, and data messages are sent with normal priority.

For more information on how different values impact delivery, see Android message priority.

collapse_key FCM can simultaneously store only up to four collapse keys per device. If you use more than four collapse keys, FCM does not make any guarantees as to which ones will be kept. Braze uses one of these by default for campaigns, so make sure to specify only up to three additional collapse keys for Android messages.

push_icon_image_url The value for the large icon parameter should be a URL that links to where your image is hosted.

Images need to be cropped to a 1:1 aspect ratio and should be at least 40x40.

notification_channel If this is not specified, Braze will attempt to send the notification payload with the dashboard fallback channel ID. For more, see Notification channels and refer to the steps for defining notification channels during integration.

send_to_sync For more information on send_to_sync messages, see silent Android notifications.
