In this blog post, I am going to talk about how to add Mobile Service feature like Push Notifications to an existing App Service Website.

Here are the steps :

Add Notification Hub to existing Azure Website
Register your mobile with the Windows Store/App Store/Google Play (in this blog I am going to use UWP Windows Store App)
Add your mobile Store’s client id/key to Notification Hub
Register your mobile app instance with Notification Hub
Create web page to send notification to all mobile app instances or a specific group or single instance of mobile app

Create New Azure Website

Skip this step if you already have a Azure Website

Log into Azure Portal (https://portal.Azure.com )
Click on + New
Click on Web + Mobile
Click on Web App
Type a website name and click Create button

Add Notification Hub

Now we are going to add Notification

In the Azure portal, select the website
Click on Settings
Click on Push under Mobile section
Click on Notification Hub
Click on the + to add a new Notification Hub
Type a name for Notification Hub
Click on Create New for namespace
Type a name for namespace
Click OK button
Click Create button

Notification Hub keys

We need to copy the Notification Hub keys. We need one key for mobile app instance to register for notifications. We need second key for website to send notifications

In the Azure portal, select the Browse from the left horizontal menu
In the search textbox type Notification Hub
Click your notification hub
Click on Settings
Click on Access Policies
You should see two keys
- One is Listen only key and another is Full access key
We should use Listen key in the mobile app code to register the mobile app instance
We should use Full Access key in the website to send notifications
If needed, you can create a webpage to register mobile app so that all access keys are at the server side

Store App Notification ID/Key

After registering your mobile app with the Windows Store/App Store/Google Play, get the notification id and key.

For Windows Store app, goto Windows Dev Center and follow these steps

Click on the Mobile app
Click on the Services
Click on Push Notifications
In the Windows Push Notification section, click on the Live Service site hyperlink
In the Live Service site, copy the Package SID and client secret

Add Store Notification ID/Key to Notification Hub

Now we are going to add each store ID/Key to our Notification Hub

In the Azure Portal, select the website
Click on Settings
Click on Push under Mobile section
Click on Windows (WNS)
Copy and paste Package SID and client secret from Live Service site
Click on Save button

Register mobile app instance with Notification Hub

Now we need to register each instance of mobile app with our Notification Hub

Open Visual Studio
Click on File | New Project
Select Visual C# | Universal | Blank App
Right click on the project, select Manage NuGet packages
Search and install “WindowsAzure.Messaging.Managed” NuGet package
Open App.xaml.cs file, in the OnLunched() function
write this below code

// push notifications
var channel = await PushNotificationChannelManager.CreatePushNotificationChannelForApplicationAsync();

var hub = new NotificationHub("MowgliNotifyHub", "Endpoint =sb://mowgli.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=DefaultListenSharedAccessSignature;SharedAccessKey=abcxyz=");

await hub.RegisterNativeAsync(channel.Uri);

Create webpage to send notifications

Now we are going to write server side code to send push notifications to all clients

Open Visual Studio
Click on File | New Project
Select Visual C# | Web | ASP.NET Web Application
Open Controller | HomeController.cs
Add this below code

public async Task<ActionResult> Push()
{
     //full access
     var fullaccessEndpoint = "Endpoint=sb://mowgli.servicebus.windows.net/;SharedAccessKeyName=DefaultFullSharedAccessSignature;SharedAccessKey=abc123xyz=";

     var hub = NotificationHubClient.CreateClientFromConnectionString(fullaccessEndpoint, "MowgliHub");
     var toast = @"<toast><visual><binding template=""ToastText01""><text id=""1"">Hello from a server!</text></binding></visual></toast>";
     await hub.SendWindowsNativeNotificationAsync(toast);

     ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";

     return View();
}

Now browse to the Home/Push URL, this should send notifications to all client instances.

In the next blog I am going to show how to send notifications to a specific client instance or a group of client instances.
