Notify⁵⁸

Firebase Cloud Messaging server and Android application for sending push notifications from command-line to mobile devices. This is a fork of the original notify application, modified and customized for personal purposes. I advise not to use this, but instead try the original app which is great and supported.

Installation

These steps were necessary to implement it on Debian 8.10 Jessie.

Requirements

• OpenJDK 1.8 (sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports openjdk-8-jdk)
• NodeJS v6.11.2 (nodejs_6.11.2-1nodesource1~jessie1_amd64.deb)
• NPM v5.8.0 (sudo npm install -g npm@5.8.0)

Optionally to avoid the "sudo-hell" with 'npm' run this below:

mkdir -p ~/.npm-packages/bin && npm config set prefix ~/.npm-packages && npm list -g --depth=0 && echo -e "\nexport PATH=$HOME/.npm-packages/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bashrc && source ~/.bashrc

Firebase Cloud (/cloud)

1. npm install -g firebase@4.5.2
2. npm install -g firebase-tools@3.13.1
3. cd functions && npm install
4. firebase login
5. firebase deploy

Notify⁵⁸ Server (/server)

1. npm install
2. npm start

Android App (/android)

Compiles fine for sure with Android Studio 3.0.1

Usage

Using notify is simple. When the app installed and launched on the Android device, it will give a unique token. This token is how the device is identified by the server.

Node JS client (clients/node): The notify-client is written with node, so it can be installed with npm, then it is available system-wide as command:

npm install -g
notify -r $TOKEN
notify -i $TITLE -t $MESSAGE

Shell Script (clients/sh):

chmod +x notify.sh
./notify.sh -r $TOKEN
./notify.sh -t $MESSAGE

cURL:

curl "https://us-central1-notify-58.cloudfunctions.net/sendNotification?to=$TOKEN&title=$TITLE&text=$MESSAGE"

PHP:

file_get_contents("https://us-central1-notify-58.cloudfunctions.net/sendNotification?to=$TOKEN&title=$TITLE&text=$MESSAGE")

Pilight Event (clients/pilight): It is included in the pilight-kontrol only. IF 1 == 1 THEN pushover TITLE Doorbell rang MESSAGE Doorbell rang TOKEN abcd123abc

Example

You will receive a push notification to your phone when the command has completed, regardless of whether or not it was successful:

someLongRunningCommand && notify
