How Do Push Notifications Work in the SoCast Mobile App?

How Push Notifications Open

The SoCast mobile app displays content in two ways: Activity Streams and the In-App Browser. The In-App Browser is typically used for navigation items such as Pages, Links, or Promotions.

If your Home Navigation item is set to use the In-App Browser (for example, if it is set to the "Red Solo Cup" page), any URL included in a push notification will automatically open in the device’s external web browser. This is because the In-App Browser is reserved for the navigation item you have configured as your home page.

Recommended Setup

To maximize push notification functionality and ensure a smoother listener experience, set your Home Navigation item to an Activity Stream. With this setup, push notification links can open inside the app rather than launching an external browser.
