cometchat-android-v5-push

Companion skills: cometchat-android-v5-core covers init and login; cometchat-android-v5-production covers production auth and token security.

Purpose

Push notifications are non-negotiable for production chat. Without them, a backgrounded app never wakes when a message arrives. This skill covers end-to-end FCM setup for CometChat Android v5 — using the correct CometChatNotifications API with PushPlatforms.FCM_ANDROID, notification channels, foreground/background handling, reply-from-notification, and tap-to-deep-link.

Ground truth: sample-app-java+push-notification/src/main/java/com/cometchat/sampleapp/java/fcm/ and sample-app-kotlin+push-notification/src/main/java/com/cometchat/sampleapp/kotlin/fcm/ in the v5 UIKit repository.
