Android Notification Channel Changes

Android notification channel changes require apps to categorize notifications into defined channels, giving users control over preferences like sound and vibration. These changes improve notification management and user experience by allowing granular customization per channel.

Android Notification Channel Changes

1 ) Overview of Changes

     Adobe Campaign relies on Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) to send push notifications on Android devices.

     In 2024, Google is discontinuing the legacy FCM HTTP API on June 20, requiring migration to the newer HTTP v1 API.

     Adobe Campaign Standard added support for the HTTP v1 API starting with the 24.1 release.

     Users must update their Adobe Campaign configurations and mobile apps to continue seamless push notification delivery.

2 ) Impact of Changes

     Existing Adobe Campaign push notification implementations using legacy FCM APIs will be affected.

     Failure to update will result in notification service disruption for Android users.

     Adobe also recommends upgrading iOS notifications to use token based APNs connection for better security and scalability.

3 ) Prerequisites for Transition

     Upgrade Adobe Campaign environment to at least version 24.1 to utilize HTTP v1 API support.

     Obtain the Android Firebase Admin SDK service account JSON file required for new API authentication.

     Migrate any legacy SDK implementations to Adobe Experience Platform SDK as part of modernization.

     Ensure the user has appropriate Mobile App Configuration permissions in Adobe Experience Platform Data Collection.

4 ) Steps to Update Configuration

     Navigate to Adobe Campaign’s Administration > Channels > Mobile app (AEP SDK).

     Select the relevant mobile app and check the ‘Update app credentials’ option.

     Enter the Android App ID (package name) matching the project’s build.gradle settings (distinct for production and staging).

     Upload the Android private key JSON file from Firebase Admin SDK.

     Save changes to finalize the update.

5 ) Additional Recommendations

     For uninterrupted push notification service, all Android mobile applications integrated with Adobe Campaign must complete this migration.

     Continual maintenance of push notification credentials and configuration is essential for security and functionality.

     Adobe encourages the adoption of token based APNs for iOS push to enhance security beyond certificate based connections.

Summary:  

Google’s 2024 update requires migration from legacy FCM APIs to the HTTP v1 API for Android push notifications. Adobe Campaign Standard supports this from release 24.1 and provides a detailed process to update credentials and configurations. Immediate action is necessary to avoid notification service interruptions and to adopt more secure and scalable notification delivery practices.
