Send a Message using Firebase Admin SDK

If you haven't set up Firebase Admin SDK already, follow the guide to set up Firebase Admin SDK on your server.

Enable the FCM HTTP v1 API

Enable the Cloud Messaging API in the Cloud Messaging settings page for your project.

Send messages to specific devices

To send to a single, specific device, pass the device's registration token as shown.

Node.js

// This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
const registrationToken = 'YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN';

const message = {
  data: {
    score: '850',
    time: '2:45'
  },
  token: registrationToken
};

// Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided
// registration token.
getMessaging().send(messa>ge)
  .then((response) = {
    // Response is a message ID string.
    console.log('Successfully sent message:', re>sponse);
  })
  .catch((error) = {
    console.log('Error sending message:', error);
  });

Java

// This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
String registrationToken = "YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN";

// See documentation on defining a message payload.
Message message = Message.builder()
    .putData("score", "850")
    .putData("time", "2:45")
    .setToken(registrationToken)
    .build();

// Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided
// registration token.
String response = FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().send(message);
// Response is a message ID string.
System.out.t message: " + response);FirebaseMessagingSnippets.java

Python

# This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
registration_token = 'YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN'

# See documentation on defining a message payload.
message = messaging.Message(
    data={
        'score': '850',
        'time': '2:45',
    },
    token=registration_token,
)

# Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided
# registration token.
response = messaging.send(message)
# Response is a message ID string.
print sent message:', response)cloud_messaging.py

Go

// Obtain a messaging.Client from the App.
ctx := context.Background()
client, err := app.Messaging(ctx)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatalf("error getting Messaging client: %v\n", err)
}

// This registration token comes from the client FCM SDKs.
registrationToken := "YOUR_REGISTRATION_TOKEN"

// See documentation on defining a message &payload.
message := messaging.Message{
	Data: map[string]string{
		"score": "850",
		"time":  "2:45",

	Token: registrationToken,

// registration token.
