Sending of badge causes Invalid JSON payload

[multi]

When badge is used, that's the response from FCM

Invalid JSON payload received. Unknown name \"badge\" at 'message.android.notification': Cannot find field.

I've tried removing that line and it works, also there's a badge dot icon on the phone, so notification_count is sufficient for Android?

Looks like you're still using the deprecated GCM method for sending Android notifications. Have you tried setting isLegacyGCM: false and using FCM ?

Alternatively, if you want to continue using the deprecated GCM API, then you could wrap your fixed payload via data.fcm_notification and it should work as well (the line you linked checks that key first before defaulting to the object construction with the incorrect badge usage)

@alex-friedl Hey 👋

As far as I can see, the new FCM implementation uses node-gcm to build the message here and here.

isLegacyGCM is false by default

The only option I've changed is isAlwaysUseFCM: true (false by default)

I'm seeing the same issue.

[alex-friedl]

@multi @SingleMalted Does it work for you to wrap your payload in a fcm_notification ?

[SingleMalted]

@alex-friedl I'm using the v1 API and it's sent via fcm.

[alex-friedl]

@SingleMalted The line you referenced allows you to pass a custom payload as { fcm_notification: { ... } }. Couldn't you simply pass it there without badge in it?
I am not sure about simply removing that line and possibly breaking things for other users

[SingleMalted]

@alex-friedl Yes, that's what I'm currently doing.
Thanks

Still not clear how to set badge number with recent update both for apn and fcm? badge is documented as a shortcut for gcm + apn
