Android Push Notification Sample App

The CometChat Android Push Notification Sample App is capable of handling push notifications for one-on-one (private), group messaging, and even call notifications. This sample app enables users to send and receive text messages, make and receive calls, and effectively displays push notifications for these interactions.

The sample app uses Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) for delivering push notifications to Android.
