Open issues/risks

`

Stage 1: Definition

1. Feature overview

Cloud to Device Messaging (aka Push Notifications) is a feature which will enable greater engagement with Firefox mobile users through an Android messaging service called Google Cloud Messaging.

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.

Stage 2: Design

5. Functional specification

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Services/Notifications/Push

6. User experience design

Notification UI

Opt in / Opt out:

If we use GCM, we can include a note in the download terms about sending GCMs to people. This is how all apps that use GCM handle this.

If we do not use GCM to implement this feature and use something else instead, we would not be able to add the above note into the Terms before people download the app. In this case, we can still keep the toggle in Settings, for people who don't want this on.
