UWP-Notification-get-accessToken-and-send-notification

I tried to find out how Windows 10 notificaton works, but could not find a lot of samples

Here is what my sample does

Read https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uwp/controls-and-patterns/tiles-and-notifications-windows-push-notification-services--wns--overview?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396
requests a push notification channel from the Universal Windows Platform - this can be found easy

Authenticating your cloud service - this is when you need access token .. the sample has the request to get access token public static void getAccessToken() { var urlEncodedSid = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(String.Format("{0}", sid)); var urlEncodedSecret = HttpUtility.UrlEncode(secret);

     var body =
       String.Format("grant_type=client_credentials&client_id={0}&client_secret={1}&scope=notify.windows.com", urlEncodedSid, urlEncodedSecret);

     var client = new WebClient();
     client.Headers.Add("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

     string response = client.UploadString("https://login.live.com/accesstoken.srf", body);
    
 }

Send puch notification public static HttpStatusCode Push(string pushUri, string accessToken, string text) { var subscriptionUri = new Uri(pushUri);

     var request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(subscriptionUri);
     request.Method = "POST";
     request.ContentType = "text/xml";
     request.Headers = new WebHeaderCollection();
     request.Headers.Add("X-WNS-Type", "wns/toast");
     request.Headers.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + accessToken);

     string data = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>" + GetToastMessage();

     byte[] notificationMessage = Encoding.Default.GetBytes(data);
     request.ContentLength = notificationMessage.Length;

     using (Stream requestStream = request.GetRequestStream())
     {
         requestStream.Write(notificationMessage, 0, notificationMessage.Length);
     }

     var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

     return response.StatusCode;
 }

 private static string GetToastMessage()
 {
     return @"<toast>
                 <visual lang=""en-US"">
                     <binding template=""ToastText01"">
                         <text id=""1"">New test arrived!</text>
                     </binding>  
                 </visual>
             </toast>";
 }
