Send Notification | Push Tester

How to test push notifications

Get a token — In your Expo app, call Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync() on a physical device and save it on the Tokens page.
Compose & send — Fill in the fields below and click Send. You'll get a ticket ID for each notification.
Check delivery — Go to the Receipts page with your ticket IDs to verify if Apple/Google successfully delivered the notification.

All data is stored in your browser's localStorage. The total notification payload must be at most 4096 bytes.

Push Token(s) * The device's Expo push token. In your app, call `Notifications.getExpoPushTokenAsync()` to get it. Format: ExponentPushToken[xxx] or ExpoPushToken[xxx].

Access Token (optional, for push security) Optional Expo access token for push security. Create one at expo.dev > Account Settings > Access Tokens. Required if you enabled "Enhanced Push Security" for your project.

Title Bold heading shown at the top of the notification on both iOS and Android.

Subtitle (iOS) Secondary line shown below the title. On iOS it appears as bold subtitle; on Android it maps to subText.

Body Main text content of the notification message.

Data (JSON payload) Custom key-value JSON payload delivered to your app but NOT displayed in the notification. Access it via the notification handler in your app. Total payload must be at most 4096 bytes.

Priority Delivery priority. "default" uses the platform default. "high" wakes the device immediately (maps to APNs priority 10 / FCM HIGH). "normal" may be batched to save battery (APNs priority 5 / FCM NORMAL).

TTL (sec) Time to live in seconds. How long Expo keeps trying to deliver if the device is offline. Default is 0 (try once). Takes precedence over Expiration when both are set. On Android this is best-effort.

Expiration (unix) UNIX timestamp (seconds since epoch) after which the notification should not be delivered. Alternative to TTL — use one or the other.

iOS Options

Sound Use "default" for the system notification sound. On iOS you can also use a custom sound filename bundled in your app. For iOS critical alerts, the SDK supports an object format: { critical: true, name: "default", volume: 1.0 }.

Badge Sets the app icon badge count on iOS. Use 0 to clear the badge. Android does not use this field natively.

Interruption Level (iOS 15+) iOS 15+ only. Controls how the notification interrupts the user. "passive": silent, no wake. "active" (default): normal presentation. "time-sensitive": breaks through Focus/DND. "critical": overrides mute switch (requires Apple entitlement).

Mutable Content iOS only. Enables Notification Service Extensions to modify the notification before display — for example, to decrypt content or attach images. Maps to APNs mutable-content flag.

Rich Content

Image URL URL to an image displayed in the notification. Works on both iOS (via Notification Service Extension) and Android. The URL must be publicly accessible and return a valid image.

Android / Category Options

Channel ID (Android) Android notification channel ID. Must match a channel created in your app via `Notifications.setNotificationChannelAsync()`. If not specified, Expo uses a default channel.

Category ID Notification category identifier for interactive actions (buttons, text input). Must match a category registered in your app via `Notifications.setNotificationCategoryAsync()`. Works on both iOS (categoryIdentifier) and Android.

Icon (Android) Android only. URL or resource name for a custom notification small icon. If not set, the app's default notification icon is used.
