Syncing notifications

Question

Hello all!

I'm developing Universal Windows app with scheduled toast notifications support. However, if I understood correctly, Azure gives access for Notification Hub like push app service only, not scheduled? If yes... how can I make notifications synchronization among different devices for my application?

Answer 1

Hello Quillaur,

Please see: Azure Notification Hubs Notify Users with .NET backend 

You could try sending it to specific devices (users) as described in the above tutorial. Ultimately it depends on how you send it from the back-end service (web api). 

I am not sure familier with azure sdk but can you please take a look at this?

You can use raw push notifications to wake up your app's background task (PushNotificationTrigger), and in your background task you can execute whatever code you'd like, such as scheduling toast notifications. That's probably your best option.
