Implement message-type Android push notifications
See original GitHub issueIf you haven’t already, check out our contributing guidelines for onboarding and email contributors@expensify.com to request to join our Slack channel!
Action Performed:
Receive a push notification on Android.
Expected Result:
Notifications should appear similar to how they do in Slack:

- The user’s name should be displayed
- The user’s avatar should be displayed
- We can nix the “New message from $user” prefix However: We do not yet need the quick-reply ability in this notification, because it is not yet supported by Airship, and greatly increases the complexity of the task.
Actual Result:
Push notifications look clunky and text-heavy:

Platform:
This is an Android-specific issue.
Version Number: 1.0.77-2
Notes/Photos/Videos: Check out our internal Slack channel with Airship for implementation details and support. Specifically starting here.

Yep, sorry I’ve just been too busy with allocations. I want to test against a release build which is fine, but takes some setup time. Will get to this soon!

P.S. Is everyone reading this sure this is really a near-term priority? Be brave: if you disagree, go ahead and close it out. If someone disagrees, they’ll reopen it, and if they don’t: one less thing to do!
