When user receives a remote notification that someone started following them, user should be able to tap notification and get redirected to the profile page for that user that followed them. How can I use branch.io to achieve this? Must the notification payload contain the userId of the user who followed them so I know whose profile info to display?
Another use case would be if someone sent a chat message. Once they tap the remote notification they should be redirected to that specific chatroom.
I'm going through branch documentation and cant see anything addressing this.
Thanks for any assistance on right approach or relevant resources.
You will need to enable user tracking to achieve this and the user_id of the follower needs to be input into the deep link that is sent in the notification of the person who was followed. Please see the below documentation on how to track users with in Branch:

I want to receive email from gmail, if new email comes, my server should get a callback and should get that messages.I tried with gmail push notification ,it says to create a topic , and subscription ,but my problem is ,How to restrict that coming email to be specific to that topic,or I am be wrong, I just want that email to come at my site , I am using ruby-rails
I'm not a Ruby on rail expert, however, this could be a potential solution to your question via Labels filtering actions. This can be achieved via the Users.watch method.
Here is an example provided by a fellow SO of how it can be done here.
Hope this helps or at least provides you a sense of direction. Cheers!
I integrated QuickBlox in my iOS app. Chat works, however I have one problem:
There is description how to use automatically generated push notifications to offline users:
http://quickblox.com/developers/SimpleSample-chat_users-ios#Push_notifications_to_the_offline_users
I implemented this feature and receive notifications. But if, for example, user of my app has two different dialogs: 1 - private, 2 - group; and chats in 1st dialog, somebody at the same time sends message in second dialog, then user doesn't get push notification.
Thus it seems to me that online status of user spreads to all it's dialogs when user logins to QuickBlox chat in app.
So I want to know is my assumption right? Can you please help me with this issue? Because in this situation I have to write my own logic for sending notifications to offline users.
Thank you.
Could you describe you problem in more detail with steps that you did?
And please look at the http://quickblox.com/developers/Chat#Alerts , by this link you may found your solution.
My iOS app gives the user the option to login using their Facebook account. I would like to be able to see the list with all the friends and invite the ones selected to use the app. The problem is that using the app request window, the friends get a notification that is displayed somewhere in the App Center, rather than in the Notifications panel. Unfortunately, this sort of notification is very subtle and might not be seen only after a long time.
From obvious reasons, I cannot fetch the emails of friends as this would be a great alternative.
Do you know if there is a way to send a Facebook Message or some other sort of notification that is more 'visible' to the receiver? Thanks!
I'm not sure if I completely understand your problem. If it's the problem that I think you're having, it sounds like you need to fill out more information on your Facebook App's configuration page.
From what I remember when I had this same issue, you need to have a Canvas URL set in your Facebook App's configuration page. Even if your app is not going to use Canvas, you need to have that part filled out in order for your friends to receive the app's notification jewel on Facebook.
I'm developing some application for the Facebook and iPhone.
User of our application would like to send to his friends notifications (only friends not other people), such as normal message. But the problem is that it’s the same message such as: "I would like to invite you to a party on Saturday". Posting one message works, but I encountered a problem when I post more messages at once. I do believe that this have to be some anti-spam filter or some other mechanism that is prohibiting posting messages in batch to walls of friends. I’m using Graph API for posting. Can somebody explain me or lead to some link how exactly this works and more importantly how to avoid this in my application…? Is it possible by paying some fee/credits to Facebook to allow my users to post messages to friends as they would like or this is simply not possible?
Just one important note: this is not a spam software and my user does not send wall messages (or notifications) to other people, only his selected friends and for sure the user is aware about this and the message is sent after user confirmation. Maybe I miss something, some application privilege?
Thank you in advance.

Let me start by saying facebook's developer documentation sucks. Bad.
I'm using the facebooker plugin in rails to let users sign up through facebook connect. Now when certain things occur I want to send notifications to certain users through facebook. I heard some say that notifications must go from one user to another, but I've seen evidence otherwise. I signed up at the site http://www.meetingwave.com/ through fb connect, and now they send me (annoyingly) daily notifications of new things on their site. Also, using the comments widget on my own site www.tmatthew.net, when an anonymous user leaves a comment I get notified of that as well.
So uh, how do you do that? I've been googling all week long and can't seem to find anything. It seems like I should be able to send a notification from my app to one of it's users.
The api call you are looking for is called Notifications.send. The only thing is that they will be disabling it very soon so there is probably no point in implementing it into your application.
