To support push notifications on iOS, Android, and browsers, you typically need a service that can send to:
- APNs for iOS
- FCM for Android
- Web Push for browsers
Common options
-
Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)
- Supports Android, iOS, and web
- Free and widely used
- Good choice if you want one platform for all three
-
OneSignal
- Supports iOS, Android, and web
- Easier to set up than building everything yourself
- Good dashboard, segmentation, and analytics
-
AWS SNS
- Can work for mobile push, but web support is not as straightforward
- Better if you’re already in AWS
-
Custom implementation
- Use APNs + FCM + Web Push libraries directly
- Most control, but most effort
Recommended path
If you want the simplest unified setup, use OneSignal or Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Notes
- iOS requires proper APNs configuration and user permission.
- Web push works in supported browsers and usually requires HTTPS.
- Android is usually easiest through FCM.
