Hi,
Currently, I’m working on push notification integration with my Ionic2 App. It is able to receive the push notification, however I would like to refresh the current page upon notification is received. Let say, I have a tab with badge in current page, once new messages arrived, I’ll increase the badge number programmatically.
The logic to handle the received notification is inside a service, if it is possible to get the current view/component and invoke specific function to refresh the view. e.g. this.navCtrl.getActive().refreshMethod(data). refreshMethod is implemented in component.
plz forgive my poor English, Really appreciate if anyone can give me some advice.
a service should not do anything which triggers changes in the view.
Your service could be provide a Subject --> that calls its next() method, if the page needs to be refreshed --> in the PageComponent you can subscribe the subject --> so every time the service informs, that there should be a page refresh your subscription callback is called.
So you do not need strange dependencies or calls of component functions in services.

I managed to make it works by using rxjs Subject, the code snippets look more elegant without the strange dependency. Thanks again, boss.
