Push Notificaions to Android

[alchemist_s]

Hi,

I was wondering is it possible to send push notifications from Fitbit Ionic to an android app, for example if a user's heart rate spikes above 90? I'm a bit of a newbie at the moment, so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

There is no direct way to do this, but you could use a web service:

1. Monitoring the heart rate on the Ionic;
2. When it's above 90, you send a message the companion app;
3. The companion app call a web service that will trigger a push notification to your Android application.

It's a bit tricky, but it's the only way to do it for now.

This would not be as real time as I'd like it to be though. Are there any plans in place to make this sort of thing possible in the future? Thanks for the speedy reply!

Not in the plan right now, but it would be nice if you can create a feature request about push notification.
