firebase (fcm) says 401 unauthorized
Solution 1
Try replacing:
con.setRequestProperty("Authorization: key", "<YOUR API KEY>");
with:
con.setRequestProperty("Authorization", "key=<YOUR API KEY>");
Solution 2
Just Solved the problem for me, I changed the Server API Key, which is given on the Cloud messaging tab, in FCM Console. In Project Overview, Manage, there is the Cloud Messaging tab, it shows a SERVER API KEY use that may be. In json file client_api key and SERVER_API_KEY different!!
Solution 3
Based on Harco's answer, in the Firebase console look at "Project settings" (click on gear icon) and choose the "Cloud Messaging" tab. "Server key" is what you need.

Design no."+designNo); JSONObject parent=new JSONObject(); parent.put("to", firebaseIds.get(0)); parent.put("data", msg); // String urlParameters = "registration_id="+firebaseIds.get(0); // Send post request con.setDoOutput(true); OutputStreamWriter wr= new OutputStreamWriter(con.getOutputStream()); wr.write(parent.toString()); // DataOutputStream wr = new DataOutputStream(con.getOutputStream()); // wr.writeBytes(urlParameters); // wr.flush(); // wr.close(); int responseCode = con.getResponseCode(); System.out.println("\nSending 'POST' request to URL : " + url); System.out.println("Post parameters : " + parent.toString()); System.out.println("Response Code : " + responseCode+" "+con.getResponseMessage()); }
When I call the above code, it gives me response as
401 Unauthorized
. I am not able to understand why I am getting this error. I have used proper server key. Is there any syntax error or anything wrong in the strategy used by me.I have followed the https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/server#implementing-http-connection-server-protocol documentation
