It is quite impossible to talk about the development of mobile applications without Xamarin. It is a major platform for android and mobile applications development introduced by Microsoft. Today Xamarin has a community of about 1.4 million developers.

Introduced in 2001, the developers of Mono organized this platform. Xamarin is an open-source platform that is based on the .NET framework It provides facilities for development within the Microsoft environment. After the declaration of Xamarin as an open-source platform, it became part of Xamarin Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
Xamarin can also be used to send push notifications to the developed applications. It follows typically the same procedure as in sending notifications via Google Firebase
A service Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is available for sending message notifications and more.

Azure notification hub is usually used to send notifications to a Xamarin Android application . These notifications are broadcasted over all the android devices using the Firebase Cloud Messaging feature.

1- You have to create a Firebase project and have to enable the Firebase Cloud Messaging feature.
2- Now create a notification hub.
