GCM - Configuration

Table of contents

Setup a Google API project

  1. Open the Google Developers Console.
  2. Click Enable and manage API's.
  3. If you do not have an existing project yet, you will be prompted to create a new project.
  4. Enter a name and click Create.

Once the project has been created, you can find your project ID and project number at the top of the Project Dashboard page. For example, Project Number: 670330094152. Copy down your project number. You will use it later on in the manifest file

Enable the GCM API

  1. Open the Google Developers Console
  2. Select your project.
  3. Click Enable and manage API's.
  4. In the displayed list of APIs, search and select Google Cloud Messaging
  5. Click Enable API.

Create an API Key

  1. In the Enable and manage API's menu, select the Credentials tab in the left sidebar.
  2. Select New credentials > API key > Server Key
  3. Give the key name. The server IP is optional and is best left empty when you are testing on your local host.
  4. Click Create

The prompt will show you your key, and it can later be found in the listed credentials. Copy down your key. You will use it later in the configuration.

Setup the project number in the manifest file

In the root of this project you will find a notification-manifest.json.example file. Copy this file to the root public folder of your project and rename it to notification-manifest.json. If you have done this correctly you should be able to find the file on <YOUR_PROJECT_URL>/notification-manifest.json when your meteor project is running.

In the manifest.json, enter your project number from your Google developers console on the "gcm_sender_id" line.

Setup the API key in the configuration

In your project add the following:

Meteor.startup(function(){
    if(Meteor.isServer){
         Notifier.GCMAPIKey : "<YOUR API KEY>"
    }
});

If you have followed these steps correctly, and have set up your service-worker, you should now be able to send notifications using GCM.
