Why 2 Push Notifications type?

I was setting up the onesignal and firebase IDs and after finishing the tests I thought... Why the the notification for Store Owner is sent by the onesignal and if I have an native app with webview, after tap de notification I enter in app automatically, and for Delivery boy and the customer, the notifications are sent by firebase, and if I tap it, it open the browser?
Wouldn't be possible to use only Onesignal for the 3 kinds of notifications (Stor Owner, Delivery Boy and Customer)?

deivideandrade Initially we implemented Firebase notification for Customer and delivery application and the same for store owner application.

But since the store dashboard is a completely different application (built with Laravel) and the customer and delivery app (built with react) there were many issues with the scope.

So we had to change the store dashboard push notification to work with OneSignal.

Saurabh thank you sir, for the reply. Like I said before, for me, im my experience, onesignal appears to be more customizable and the push notifications are sent in a different way. I have 3 apps with the Onesignal IDs inside them. In case of Store Owner App when the notifications appears the user tap and automatically open the APP, but the notifications from Firebase, open the browser. Do you know if the is some way to make every push like the Store Owner App? Because, if I'm not wrong, even I make any kind of app or set the apps in onesignal panel, if the foodoma doesn't send the notification for them, nothing will happen, ok? Because, by default, foodomaa uses the Firebase IDs to send Customer and Delivery Pushs.

If it would be possible to focus only in onesignal, it would be great because the notifications sent by onesignal appears even in IOs devices.

What do you think about it?

Thank you again.

deivideandrade OneSignal limits the user registration to 50k in the free plan which is more than sufficient for the Stores. (As in one business there would not be that much store registation)

But there could definitely be more than 50k customers (and there are business on Foodomaa that already has that number of customers)
So rather than paying for a paid service, we used the free FCM service.

(OneSignal also uses FCM internally to send push notifications by the way)

Also, laster when we build the native android application for store owners, we will have FCM for that and will stop using OneSignal once many user switches to the application.

Saurabh thanks for your attention, again. I mentioned this, thinking of a cross-platform app with the same behavior on Android and IOs. Onesignal seems to do the job perfectly by giving the app a native app role when it comes to notifications. But if we have restrictions on Onesignal, what a pity.
