What is PushNotification really?

5

I've been in doubt now about PushNotification and if that's really what I want. To solve my problem do I need PushNotification ? See, what I want is this: When the user (seller) changes the flag of the database, this indicates that this seller is requesting a discount greater than what he can grant. That way, those who have this power will not stay in the stores, but in the matrix and these people will receive in their smartphone information to open the App and Approve / Deny this discount. Can I say that this is by PushNotification or is there another way to do it?

Push translated from English, means to push, to push [...]. Notification , it's notification, communication, Notice[...]. Combining the two words, we have as example "push notification". The main purpose of Push Notification is to shorten the path between sender and receiver

The purpose is not to traffic a large mass of data, but to send simple messages, for example to warn that there is a new data to be downloaded from the server, or show some kind of store promotion, system upgrade, etc.

According to a survey by Urban Airship , the daily use of an application increases by up to 540% by sending these notifications.

Nowadays using Push Notification has become much easier using Firebase Cloud Messaging

Push Notification is a system for sending information to a client without explicitly requesting it.

Unlike Push notifications , where the client has to request the information from the server, Push Notification originates on the server and is sent to clients without your request.

As an analogy, to better understand the difference between the two, an sms is a Push Notification and an email is a Pull notifications .
