RMSPushNotificationsBundle

A bundle to allow sending of push notifications to mobile devices. Currently supports Android (C2DM, GCM), Blackberry and iOS devices.

Installation

To use this bundle in your Symfony2 project add richsage/rms-push-notifications-bundle to the required packages in your composer.json and run php composer.phar update to install the bundle. Then add new RMS\PushNotificationsBundle\RMSPushNotificationsBundle() to your $bundles-array in the AppKernel.php and you're ready!

Configuration

Below you'll find all configuration options; just use what you need:

rms_push_notifications:
  android:
      c2dm:
          username: <string_android_c2dm_username>
          password: <string_android_c2dm_password>
          source: <string_android_c2dm_source>
      gcm:
          api_key: <string_android_gcm_api_key>
  ios:
      sandbox: <bool_use_apns_sandbox>
      pem: <path_apns_certificate>
      passphrase: <string_apns_certificate_passphrase>
  blackberry:
      evaluation: <bool_bb_evaluation_mode>
      app_id: <string_bb_app_id>
      password: <string_bb_password>

Usage

A little example of how to push your first message to an iOS device, we'll assume that you've set up the configuration correctly:

use RMS\PushNotificationsBundle\Message\iOSMessage;

class PushDemoController extends Controller
{
    public function pushAction()
    {
        $message = new iOSMessage();
        $message->setMessage('Oh my! A push notification!');
        $message->setDeviceIdentifier('test012fasdf482asdfd63f6d7bc6d4293aedd5fb448fe505eb4asdfef8595a7');

        $this->container->get('rms_push_notifications')->send($message);

        return new Response('Push notification send!');
    }
}

The send method will detect the type of message so if you'll pass it an AndroidMessage it will automatically send it through the C2DM/GCM servers, and likewise for Blackberry.

Android messages

Since both C2DM and GCM are still available, the AndroidMessage class has a small flag on it to toggle which service to send it to. Use as follows:

use RMS\PushNotificationsBundle\Message\AndroidMessage;

$message = new AndroidMessage();
$message->setGCM(true);

to send as a GCM message rather than C2DM.
