How can I register my RegistrationToken on Azure after having asked permission and received it on my app?

[mwnovaprove]

I’m new to Shiny.NET and I’m trying to use it as a tool to implement push notifications on all OS (except Windows) while I need to use Azure Notifications Hub as a provider. I’m able to request permission from the OS and get a registration token, but then I don’t know how to register it on Azure. Would you please share with me some pieces of advice on how to do it? I tried hard with the documentation, but I read it’s not completed yet. 🙏🏽

If you're using Shiny.Push.AzureNotificationHub, the registration token is for azure, as in, everything is already registered.

Thanks a lot for your answer! 🙏🏽 the only thing I don’t get is: why, trying to send a push notification through Azure with the “Test” function, I can’t receive it on Android emulator? Consider that I didn’t specify the token in the notification payload since, as for my knowledge of the functioning, I intended to send a broadcast notification.

The test function as far as I can remember, sends to 10 random device registrations. If you find an issue, please file it using our issue templates with all of the necessary details.

Thanks a lot @aritchie for your pieces of counsel! I'm able to get the notifications through the OnReceived method in the delegate. But I just wanted to ask you a couple of things:

• how do you suggest I can manage the local presentation of the incoming notifications? Is it by using Shiny Local Notifications? Because I see that unless I prompt someway the notification to the user, I can't see it neither on my notification bar nor anywhere else (in fact, on this account I can't properly understand when OnEntry in the delegate is fired).
• For what is:

public async Task OnTokenChanged(string token)
{
    // fires when a push notification change is set by the operating system or provider
}

practically used? I'm asking this because I would like to have a clear idea of how everything works before implementing it on my application, since it's already in production.
I thank you in advance for your kind reply!

Notifications will show if you set the payloads properly. I don't recommend anything here other than looking over the server push docs.
OnTokenChanged - is fired when the token changes outside of your general RequestAccess
