First make sure to follow the installation steps.

Download your Firebase configuration files, GoogleService-Info.plist for ios and google-services.json for android, and place them in the root folder of your cordova project

You need to know that each device owns a unique token, so it can be identified and receive push notifications.
You can store this token in your database, under the user node who owns the token.
Then you can use this token to send push notification to this device.

firebasePlugin.onTokenRefresh().subscribe((token: string) => {
    // This is how you get the device token
});

You will also need your server key, you can find it in your firebase settings.
And make sure you test it on a real device, it will not work in the browser or emulator.

Here is how I implemented it in my code:

firebase.database.ref('/users').child(userId).once('value', (user) => {

    let headers = new Headers();
    headers.append('Content-Type', 'application/json');
    headers.append('Authorization', 'key=' + YOUR_SERVER_KEY);

    let body = {
      "notification": {
        "body": message,
        "badge": 1,
        "sound": "default"
      },
      "priority": "high",
      "to": user.val().device_token
    }

    this.http.post('https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send', JSON.stringify(body), { headers: headers })
      .map(res => res.json())
      .subscribe(data => { console.log(data); });

})

It possible to add it to my backend ? I don’t use Firebase

24

I can’t build with Firebase plugin

25

I think you can create a Firebase account and use FCM, without needing to use firebase as your backend.
But you need a Firebase account to get the GoogleService-Info.plist, google-services.json files and your server key.

26

Why? Do you get any error when trying to?

27

And make sure to read the installation steps fully.

Note that the Firebase SDK requires the configuration files to be present and valid, otherwise your app will crash on boot or Firebase features won’t work.
