Push notifications

Starling’s push service delivers notifications to registered client endpoints. Notification settings in the client determine what the user wants to receive; server provider credentials determine whether delivery can succeed.

Configure the provider supported by your Starling release, keep its credentials outside public source control, and verify the push service’s startup logs. Use Starling configuration reference for the current settings instead of copying configuration from another server implementation.

Test with a registered identity on the target platform. Confirm that the client has operating-system notification permission, then trigger an event while the app is in the background. Foreground desktop sounds and remote push delivery are separate paths.

See Notifications for user controls and Starling service guide for the service’s dependencies.
