Implementing Push tracking push-tracking
About push tracking about-push-tracking
To ensure that the push notification has been fully developed you need to be sure that the tracking portion has been implemented correctly since not every push notification has tracking enabled. To enable this, developers need to identify which deliveries have tracking enabled, 蜜豆视频 Campaign Standard will send a flag called _acsDeliveryTracking with two values on or off. The app developer should send a tracking request only on deliveries that have the variable set as on.
Push Tracking is separated into three types:
-
Push Impressions - When a push notification has been successfully delivered to the device, residing in the notification center without any user interaction.
-
Push Click - When a push notification has been delivered to the device and the user has clicked on the device. The user either wanted to view the notification (which will in turn move to Push Open tracking) or dismiss the notification.
-
Push Open - When a push notification has been delivered to the device and the user has clicked on the notification causing the app to open. This is similar to the Push Click except a Push Open will not be triggered if the notification was dismissed.
To implement tracking for Campaign Standard, the mobile app needs to include the 蜜豆视频 Experience Platform SDKs. These SDKs are available in the .
To send tracking information there are three variables that need to be sent. Two that are part of the data received from Campaign Standard and an action variable that dictates whether it is an Impression, Click or Open.

How to implement push impression tracking push-impression-tracking-android
For impression tracking, you will have to send value 鈥7鈥 for action when calling collectMessageInfo() or trackAction() functions.
For deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template, refer to this section.
@Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
....{Handle push messages}....
if (data.size() > 0) {
String deliveryId = data.get("_dId");
String messageId = data.get("_mId");
String acsDeliveryTracking = data.get("_acsDeliveryTracking");
/*
This is to handle deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template
where acsDeliveryTracking is not available.
*/
if( acsDeliveryTracking == null ) {
acsDeliveryTracking = "on";
}
HashMap<String, String> contextData = new HashMap<>();
if( deliveryId != null && messageId != null && acsDeliveryTracking.equals("on")) {
contextData.put("deliveryId", deliveryId);
contextData.put("broadlogId", messageId);
contextData.put("action", "7");
//If you are using ACPCore v1.4.0 or later, use the next line.
MobileCore.collectMessageInfo(contextData);
//Else comment out the above line and uncomment the line below
//MobileCore.trackAction("tracking", contextData) ;
}
}
}
How to implement click tracking push-click-tracking-android
For click tracking, you will have to send value 鈥2鈥 for action when calling collectMessageInfo() or trackAction() functions.
To track click, two scenarios need to be handled:
- The user sees the notification but clears it.
- The user sees the notification and clicks on it turning it into an open tracking.
To handle this, you need to use two Intents: one for clicking the notification and another one to dismiss the notification.
For deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template, refer to this section.
MyFirebaseMessagingService.java
private void sendNotification(Map<String, String> data) {
Intent openIntent = new Intent(this, CollectPIIActivity.class);
Intent dismissIntent = new Intent(this, NotificationDismissedReceiver.class);
openIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
//put the data map into the intent to track clickthroughs
Bundle pushData = new Bundle();
Set<String> keySet = data.keySet();
for (String key : keySet) {
pushData.putString(key, data.get(key));
}
openIntent.putExtras(pushData);
dissmissIntent.putExtras(pushData);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, openIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
PendingIntent onDismissPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this.getApplicationContext(), 0, dismissIntent, 0);
//<BUILD NOTIFICATION using notification builder>
//Add both Intents to the notification
notificationBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
notificationBuilder.setDeleteIntent(onDismissPendingIntent);
}
In order for the BroadcastReceiver to work you need to register it to the AndroidManifest.xml
<manifest>
<application>
<receiver android:name=".NotificationDismissedReceiver">
</receiver>
</application>
</manifest>
NotificationDismessedReceiver.java
public class NotificationDismissedReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = NotificationDismissedReceiver.class.getSimpleName();
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Bundle data = intent.getExtras();
String deliveryId = data.getString("_dId");
String messageId = data.getString("_mId");
String acsDeliveryTracking = data.get("_acsDeliveryTracking");
/*
This is to handle deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template
where acsDeliveryTracking is not available.
*/
if( acsDeliveryTracking == null ) {
acsDeliveryTracking = "on";
}
HashMap<String, Object> contextData = new HashMap<>();
//We only send the click tracking since the user dismissed the notification
if (deliveryId != null && messageId != null && acsDeliveryTracking.equals("on")) {
contextData.put("deliveryId", deliveryId);
contextData.put("broadlogId", messageId);
contextData.put("action", "2");
//If you are using ACPCore v1.4.0 or later, use the next line.
MobileCore.collectMessageInfo(contextData);
//Else comment out the above line and uncomment the line below
//MobileCore.trackAction("tracking", contextData);
}
}
}
How to implement open tracking push-open-tracking-android
You will need to send 鈥1鈥 and 鈥2鈥 since user must click notification to open app. If the app is not launched/opened through push notification, then no tracking events occur.
In order to track open, you need to create Intent. Intent objects allow Android OS to call your method when certain actions are done. In this case, clicking the notification to open the app.
This code is based on the implementation of the click impression tracking. With Intent set, you now need to send tracking info back to 蜜豆视频 Campaign Standard. In this case, you need to set the Open Intent to open to a certain view in your app, this will call the onResume method with the notification data in the Intent Object.
For deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template, refer to this section.
@Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
handleTracking();
}
private void handleTracking() {
//Check to see if this view was opened based on a notification
Intent intent = getIntent();
Bundle data = intent.getExtras();
if (data != null) {
//This was opened based on the notification, you need to get the tracking that was passed on.
String deliveryId = data.getString("_dId");
String messageId = data.getString("_mId");
String acsDeliveryTracking = data.get("_acsDeliveryTracking");
/*
This is to handle deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template
where acsDeliveryTracking is not available.
*/
if( acsDeliveryTracking == null) {
acsDeliveryTracking = "on";
}
HashMap<String, String> contextData = new HashMap<>();
if (deliveryId != null && messageId != null && acsDeliveryTracking.equals("on")) {
contextData.put("deliveryId", deliveryId);
contextData.put("broadlogId", messageId);
contextData.put("action", "2");
//Send Click Tracking since the user did click on the notification
//If you are using ACPCore v1.4.0 or later, use the next line.
MobileCore.collectMessageInfo(contextData);
//Else comment out the above line and uncomment the line below
//MobileCore.trackAction("tracking", contextData);
//Send Open Tracking since the user opened the app
contextData.put("action", "1");
//If you are using ACPCore v1.4.0 or later, use the next line.
MobileCore.collectMessageInfo(contextData);
//Else comment out the above line and uncomment the line below
//MobileCore.trackAction("tracking", contextData);
}
}

Implementation for iOS implementation-iOS
How to implement push impression tracking push-impression-tracking-iOS
For impression tracking, you will have to send value 鈥7鈥 for action when calling collectMessageInfo() or trackAction() functions.
To understand how iOS notifications works, the three states of an app needs to be detailed:
- Foreground: when the app is currently active and is currently on screen (in the foreground).
- Background: when the is app is not on screen but the process is not closed. When you double-click the home button, it will usually showcase all the apps that are in the background.
- Off/closed: an app whose process has been killed.
In order to still have Impression tracking working while the app is in the background we need to send Content-Available to let the app know a tracking has to be done.
Due to this reason, iOS impression tracking might not be accurate and should not be seen as reliable.
For deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template, refer to this section.
The following code targets background app:
// In didReceiveRemoteNotification event handler in AppDelegate.m
//In order to handle push notification when only in background with content-available: 1
func application(_ application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [AnyHashable : Any], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
//Check if the app is not in the foreground right now
if(UIApplication.shared.applicationState != .active) {
let deliveryId = userInfo["_dId"] as? String
let broadlogId = userInfo["_mId"] as? String
let acsDeliveryTracking = userInfo["_acsDeliveryTracking"] as? String
/*
This is to handle deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template where acsDeliveryTracking is not available.
*/
if( acsDeliveryTracking == nil ) {
acsDeliveryTracking = "on";
}
if (deliveryId != nil && broadlogId != nil && acsDeliveryTracking?.caseInsensitiveCompare("on") == ComparisonResult.orderedSame) {
//If you are using ACPCore v2.3.0 or later, use the next line.
ACPCore.collectMessageInfo(["deliveryId": deliveryId!, "broadlogId": broadlogId!, "action":"7"])
//Else comment out the above line and uncomment the line below
//ACPCore.trackAction("tracking", data: ["deliveryId": deliveryId!, "broadlogId": broadlogId!, "action":"7"])
}
}
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResult.noData)
}
The following code targets foreground app:
// This will get called when the app is in the foreground
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, willPresent notification: UNNotification, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping (UNNotificationPresentationOptions) -> Void) {
let userInfo = notification.request.content.userInfo
let deliveryId = userInfo["_dId"] as? String
let broadlogId = userInfo["_mId"] as? String
let acsDeliveryTracking = userInfo["_acsDeliveryTracking"] as? String
/*
This is to handle deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template where acsDeliveryTracking is not available.
*/
if( acsDeliveryTracking == nil ) {
acsDeliveryTracking = "on";
}
if (deliveryId != nil && broadlogId != nil && acsDeliveryTracking?.caseInsensitiveCompare("on") == ComparisonResult.orderedSame) {
//If you are using ACPCore v2.3.0 or later, use the next line.
ACPCore.collectMessageInfo(["deliveryId": deliveryId!, "broadlogId": broadlogId!, "action":"7"])
//Else comment out the above line and uncomment the line below
//ACPCore.trackAction("tracking", data: ["deliveryId": deliveryId!, "broadlogId": broadlogId!, "action":"7"])
}
completionHandler([.alert,.sound])
}
How to implement click tracking push-click-tracking-iOS
For click tracking, you will have to send value 鈥2鈥 for action when calling collectMessageInfo() or trackAction() functions.
For deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template, refer to this section.
// AppDelegate.swift
...
import os.log
import UserNotifications
...
func registerForPushNotifications() {
let center = UNUserNotificationCenter.current()
center.delegate = notificationDelegate
//Here we are creating a new Category that allows us to handle Dismiss Actions
let defaultCategory = UNNotificationCategory(identifier: "DEFAULT", actions: [], intentIdentifiers: [], options: .customDismissAction)
//Add it to our array of Category, in this case we only have one
center.setNotificationCategories([defaultCategory])
center.requestAuthorization(options: [.alert, .sound, .badge]) {
(granted, error) in
os_log("Permission granted: %{public}@", type:. debug, granted.description)
if error != nil {
return
}
if granted {
os_log("Notifications allowed", type: .debug)
}
else {
os_log("Notifications denied", type: .debug)
}
// 2. Attempt registration for remote notifications on the main thread
DispatchQueue.main.async {
UIApplication.shared.registerForRemoteNotifications()
}
}
}
Now when you send Push Notifications you need to add a category. In this case, we called it 鈥淒EFAULT鈥.
Then to handle the Dismiss and send a tracking info you need to add the following:
func userNotificationCenter(_ center: UNUserNotificationCenter, didReceive response: UNNotificationResponse, withCompletionHandler completionHandler: @escaping () -> Void) {
let userInfo = response.notification.request.content.userInfo
switch response.actionIdentifier {
case UNNotificationDismissActionIdentifier:
print("Dismiss Action")
let deliveryId = userInfo["_dId"] as? String
let broadlogId = userInfo["_mId"] as? String
let acsDeliveryTracking = userInfo["_acsDeliveryTracking"] as? String
/*
This is to handle deliveries created before 21.1 release or deliveries with custom template where acsDeliveryTracking is not available.
*/
if( acsDeliveryTracking == nil ) {
acsDeliveryTracking = "on";
}
if (deliveryId != nil && broadlogId != nil && acsDeliveryTracking?.caseInsensitiveCompare("on") == ComparisonResult.orderedSame) {
//If you are using ACPCore v2.3.0 or later, use the next line.
ACPCore.collectMessageInfo(["deliveryId": deliveryId!, "broadlogId": broadlogId!, "action":"2"])
//Else comment out the above line and uncomment the line below
//ACPCore.trackAction("tracking", data: ["deliveryId": deliveryId!, "broadlogId": broadlogId!, "action":"2"])
}
default:
////MORE CODE
}
completionHandler()
}
