## Overview

Implement comprehensive push notification systems for iOS and Android applications using Firebase Cloud Messaging and native platform services.

## When to Use

- Sending real-time notifications to users
- Implementing user engagement features
- Deep linking from notifications to specific screens
- Handling silent/background notifications
- Tracking notification analytics

## Quick Start

Minimal working example:

```javascript
import messaging from "@react-native-firebase/messaging";
import { Platform } from "react-native";

export async function initializeFirebase() {
  try {
    if (Platform.OS === "ios") {
      const permission = await messaging().requestPermission();
      if (permission === messaging.AuthorizationStatus.AUTHORIZED) {
        console.log("iOS notification permission granted");
      }
    }

    const token = await messaging().getToken();
    console.log("FCM Token:", token);
    await saveTokenToBackend(token);

    messaging().onTokenRefresh(async (newToken) => {
      await saveTokenToBackend(newToken);
    });

    messaging().onMessage(async (remoteMessage) => {
      console.log("Notification received:", remoteMessage);
      showLocalNotification(remoteMessage);
    });

// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)
```

## Best Practices

### ✅ DO

- Request permission before sending notifications
- Implement token refresh handling
- Use different notification channels by priority
- Validate tokens regularly
- Track notification delivery
- Implement deep linking
- Handle notifications in all app states
- Use silent notifications for data sync
- Store tokens securely on backend
- Provide user notification preferences
- Test on real devices

### ❌ DON'T

- Send excessive notifications
- Send without permission
- Store tokens insecurely
- Ignore notification failures
- Send sensitive data in payload
- Use notifications for spam
- Forget to handle background notifications
- Make blocking calls in handlers
- Send duplicate notifications
- Ignore user preferences
