Customize Push Notification Functionality for Android Apps

The Salesforce Engagement SDK offers several customization options that extend push notification support for Android. Customize notification channels, launch intents, tap actions, and display properties to create a tailored experience for your app users.

Start with Customize Push Notifications to learn how to customize notifications, launch intents, and tap actions.

For complete control over your notifications, see Advanced Push Notification Customization. This approach lets you manage all aspects of notification display properties and tap actions, including notification channel creation and launch intent actions.

Versions 8.0 and later of the Android operating system require you to specify a notification channel. The SDK creates a default channel called marketing, but you can also create custom notification channels.

Configure the actions that occur when a user taps a button or a carousel image in a push notification.

Deliver location messages to specific audience segments by implementing logic that determines whether to display a notification. By using segmentation, your app can assess factors like user preferences, login status, custom profile data, or regional information before showing a message.

Track successful delivery of your messages by using push delivery analytics.
