Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

This feature aims to provide a marketing channel to improve user engagement on Android. Some evidence suggests that system notifications can improve stickiness without negatively affecting user feedback; this channel aims to provide a mechanism for delivering those system notifications.

The 2012 Firefox Mobile goal is to achieve 4.2 M ADIs.

2. Users & use cases

• Reactivation - Reactivate 2 - 4% of installed-but-non-users into an incremental 530,000 – 1M ADIs
• User Research (surveys, etc)
• App or System update messages (not necessarily confirmed as a use case)

3. Dependencies

`

4. Requirements

• P1 - Enable messaging to users who have not used Firefox Mobile in X (what?) period of time
• P1 - Enable messaging with a call to action in the message
• P1 - Must be opt in
• P1 - Can be opted out
• P1 - Must work for Firefox Mobile Beta
• P2 - Must work for Firefox Mobile GA

Non-goals

This service is not for the Aurora and Nightly channels of Firefox Mobile.

Note that Google Cloud Messaging is not a suitable implementation strategy for this, for various reasons.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

`

6. User experience design

1. Allowing notifications in the Google Play download terms

2. Opt out: a toggle in Settings, for people who don't want this on.

3. Notification UI

Resources:

• Notifications on Android: http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/notifications.html

Stage 3: Planning

7. Implementation plan

See bug 774497 and dependencies.

Server-side work not yet tracked.

Snippets will be periodically fetched via HTTP, with server-side filtering based on client attribute. Client-side filtering, caching, and presentation. Background Android alarm to manage periodic fetches.

8. Reviews

Security review

See bug 774497 and dependencies.

Privacy review

See bug 774497 and dependencies.

Localization review

l10n is an open question; campaign messages need to be localized.

Accessibility

Nothing special required for Android.

Quality Assurance review

Operations review

Stage 4: Development

9. Implementation

Stage 5: Release
