* **Custom Gradle Properties Template**

3. Execute **Assets > External Dependency Manager > Android Resolver > Force Resolve**.

Considerações adicionais:

* **Target API Level deve ser 33+** (v5.0.6+).
* Se **Minify estiver habilitado**, execute **Copy Android plugin to Assets** de **OneSignal SDK Setup** para usar `OneSignalConfig.androidlib`.
* Substitua os ícones padrão dentro de `Assets/Plugins/Android/OneSignalConfig.androidlib/src/main/res` pelos seus próprios (apenas nomes de arquivo em minúsculas, sublinhados permitidos). Veja [Customize Notification Icons](./notification-icons) para mais.

#### Configuração Amazon

<Note>
  Apenas necessário para apps Amazon disponíveis via Amazon App Store.
</Note>

<Accordion title="Configuração Amazon FireOS (ADM)" icon="circle-chevron-down">
  1. Edite ou crie `Plugins/Android/AndroidManifest.xml`.
  2. Adicione namespace:

  ```xml theme={null}
   xmlns:amazon="http://schemas.amazon.com/apk/res/android"
  ```

  3. Adicione permissões:

  ```xml theme={null}
  <uses-permission android:name="com.amazon.device.messaging.permission.RECEIVE" />
  <permission android:name="COM.YOUR.PACKAGE_NAME.permission.RECEIVE_ADM_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature" />
  <uses-permission android:name="COM.YOUR.PACKAGE_NAME.permission.RECEIVE_ADM_MESSAGE" />
  ```

  4. Adicione o seguinte à tag `<application>`:

  ```xml theme={null}

  <receiver android:name="com.onesignal.notifications.receivers.ADMMessageReceiver"
            android:permission="com.amazon.device.messaging.permission.SEND" >
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="com.amazon.device.messaging.intent.REGISTRATION" />
      <action android:name="com.amazon.device.messaging.intent.RECEIVE" />
      <category android:name="COM.YOUR.PACKAGE_NAME" />
    </intent-filter>
  </receiver>
  ```

  5. Substitua todas as instâncias de `COM.YOUR.PACKAGE_NAME` pelo seu nome de pacote real.

  6. Coloque seu `api_key.txt` em `Assets/Plugins/Android/OneSignalConfig.androidlib/src/main/assets`

  * Veja [Guia Generate an Amazon API Key](./generate-an-amazon-api-key) para ajuda na criação deste arquivo.
</Accordion>

#### Configuração Huawei

<Note>
  Apenas necessário para apps Huawei disponíveis via Huawei App Gallery.

  Veja [Configuração Huawei Unity SDK](./huawei-unity-sdk-setup) para mais.
</Note>

### 3. Inicializar o SDK

Adicione este código dentro do método `Start()` de um `MonoBehaviour` no início do ciclo de vida da sua aplicação.

Substitua `YOUR_APP_ID` pelo seu OneSignal App ID encontrado no seu dashboard OneSignal **Settings > [Keys & IDs](./keys-and-ids)**.

<Note>
  Se você não tem acesso ao app OneSignal, peça aos seus [Team Members](./manage-team-members) para convidá-lo.
</Note>

```csharp C# theme={null}
using OneSignalSDK;

void Start () {
  // Enable verbose logging for debugging (remove in production)
  OneSignal.Debug.LogLevel = LogLevel.Verbose;
  // Initialize with your OneSignal App ID
  OneSignal.Initialize("YOUR_APP_ID");
  // Use this method to prompt for push notifications.
  // We recommend removing this method after testing and instead use In-App Messages to prompt for notification permission.
  await OneSignal.Notifications.RequestPermissionAsync(true);
}
```

***

## Testing the OneSignal SDK integration

    <Check>You have successfully created a segment of test users.
    We can now test sending messages to this individual device and groups of test users.</Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Send test push via API

<Steps>
  <Step title="Get your App API Key and App ID.">
    In your OneSignal dashboard, go to **Settings > [Keys & IDs](/docs/en/keys-and-ids)**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Update the provided code.">
    Replace `YOUR_APP_API_KEY` and `YOUR_APP_ID` in the code below with your actual keys. This code uses the `Test Users` segment we created earlier.

    ```curl theme={null}
    curl -X \
    POST --url 'https://api.onesignal.com/notifications' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json; charset=utf-8' \
     --header 'authorization: Key YOUR_APP_API_KEY' \
     --data \
     '{
      "app_id": "YOUR_APP_ID",
      "target_channel": "push",
      "name": "Testing basic setup",
      "headings": {
      	"en": "👋"
      },
      "contents": {
        "en": "Hello world!"
      },
      "included_segments": [
        "Test Users"
      ],
      "ios_attachments": {
        "onesignal_logo": "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11823027?s=200&v=4"
      },
      "big_picture": "https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11823027?s=200&v=4"
    }'
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the code.">
    Run the code in your terminal.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check images and confirmed receipt.">
    If all setup steps were completed successfully, the test users should receive a notification with an image included:

    <Frame caption="Push notification with image on iOS and Android">
      <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/Z6xkXGfmy814If53/images/docs/e4e3e812eb6841ff11795a6ee0ea36eff483920ea9266733d6948ed34df3def3-Untitled_design_9.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Z6xkXGfmy814If53&q=85&s=9bf6f4a73e38ec424b8cfec75a474a26" width="1200" height="800" data-path="images/docs/e4e3e812eb6841ff11795a6ee0ea36eff483920ea9266733d6948ed34df3def3-Untitled_design_9.png" />
    </Frame>

    <Info>Images will appear small in the collapsed notification view. Expand the notification to see the full image.</Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check for confirmed receipt.">
    In your dashboard, go to **Delivery > Sent Messages**, then click the message to view stats.

    You should see the **confirmed** stat, meaning the device received the push.
    <Check>You have successfully sent a notification via our API to a segment.</Check>

    <Warning>
      * No image received? Your [Notification Service Extension](#ios-setup) might be missing.
      * No confirmed receipt? Review the troubleshooting guide [here](/docs/en/confirmed-delivery#troubleshooting-confirmed-delivery).
      * Having issues? Copy-paste the api request and a log from start to finish of app launch into a `.txt` file. Then share both with `support@onesignal.com`.
    </Warning>
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Send an in-app message

[In-app messages](/docs/en/in-app-messages-setup) let you communicate with users while they are using your app.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Close or background your app on the device.">
    This is because users must meet the in-app audience criteria *before* a new session starts. In OneSignal, a new session starts when the user opens your app after it has been in the background or closed for at least 30 seconds. For more details, see our guide on [how in-app messages are displayed](/docs/en/in-app-messages-setup#how-are-iams-displayed%3F).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create an in-app message.">

## User identification

Previously, we demonstrated how to create mobile [Subscriptions](/docs/en/subscriptions). Now we'll expand to identifying [Users](/docs/en/users) across all their subscriptions (including push, email, and SMS) using the OneSignal SDK. We'll cover External IDs, tags, multi-channel subscriptions, privacy, and event tracking to help you unify and engage users across platforms.

### Assign External ID

Use an External ID to identify users consistently across devices, email addresses, and phone numbers using your backend's user identifier. This ensures your messaging stays unified across channels and 3rd party systems (especially important for [Integrations](/docs/en/integrations)).

Set the External ID with our SDK's [`login` method](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#login-external-id) each time they are identified by your app.

<Note>
  OneSignal generates unique read-only IDs for subscriptions (Subscription ID) and users (OneSignal ID).

  As users download your app on different devices, subscribe to your website, and/or provide you email addresses and phone numbers outside of your app, new subscriptions will be created.

  Setting the External ID via our SDK is highly recommended to identify users across all their subscriptions, regardless of how they are created.
</Note>

### Add Tags

[Tags](/docs/en/add-user-data-tags) are key-value pairs of string data you can use to store user properties (like `username`, `role`, or preferences) and events (like `purchase_date`, `game_level`, or user interactions). Tags power advanced [Message Personalization](/docs/en/message-personalization) and [Segmentation](/docs/en/segmentation) allowing for more advanced use cases.

Set tags with our SDK [`addTag` and `addTags` methods](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#data-tags) as events occur in your app.

In this example, the user reached level 6 identifiable by the tag called `current_level` set to a value of `6`.

<Frame caption="A user profile in OneSignal with a tag called &#x22;current_level&#x22; set to &#x22;6&#x22;">

</Frame>

We can create a segment of users that have a level of between 5 and 10, and use that to send targeted and personalized messages:

### Add email and/or SMS subscriptions

Earlier we saw how our SDK creates mobile subscriptions to send push and in-app messages. You can also reach users through emails and SMS channels by creating the corresponding subscriptions.

* Use the [`addEmail` method](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addemail-%2C-removeemail) to create email subscriptions.
* Use the [`addSms` method](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addsms-%2C-removesms) to create SMS subscriptions.

If the email address and/or phone number already exist in the OneSignal app, the SDK will add it to the existing user, it will not create duplicates.

You can view unified users via **Audience > Users** in the dashboard or with the [View user API](/reference/view-user).

<Frame caption="A user profile with push, email, and SMS subscriptions unified by External ID">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/onesignal/56ctKxZSV4m5VEkn/images/docs/b1cf9999d41da6e4ce333e1126612529b85eac47447bb0b434418d082f595acd-Screenshot_2025-03-18_at_14.43.46.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=56ctKxZSV4m5VEkn&q=85&s=7c3885b66e44e097fa0ed7c47f27c911" width="1506" height="848" data-path="images/docs/b1cf9999d41da6e4ce333e1126612529b85eac47447bb0b434418d082f595acd-Screenshot_2025-03-18_at_14.43.46.png" />

<Note>
  Best practices for multi-channel communication

  * Obtain explicit consent before adding email or SMS subscriptions.
  * Explain the benefits of each communication channel to users.
  * Provide channel preferences so users can select which channels they prefer.
</Note>

***

### Privacy & user consent

To control when OneSignal collects user data, use the SDK's consent gating methods:

* [`setConsentRequired(true)`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#setconsentrequired): Prevents data collection until consent is given.
* [`setConsentGiven(true)`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#setconsentgiven): Enables data collection once consent is granted.

See our Privacy & security docs for more on:

* [Data collected by the SDK](/docs/en/data-collected-by-the-onesignal-sdk)
* [Handling personal data](/docs/en/handling-personal-data)

***

## Prompt for push permissions

Instead of calling `requestPermission()` immediately on app open, take a more strategic approach. Use an in-app message to explain the value of push notifications before requesting permission.

For best practices and implementation details, see our [Prompt for push permissions](/docs/en/prompt-for-push-permissions) guide.

***

## Listen to push, user, and in-app events

Use SDK listeners to react to user actions and state changes.

The SDK provides several event listeners for you to hook into. See our [SDK reference guide](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference) for more details.

### Push notification events

* [`addClickListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addclicklistener-push): Detect when a notification is tapped. Helpful for [Deep Linking](/docs/en/deep-linking).
* [`addForegroundLifecycleListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addforegroundlifecyclelistener-push): Control how notifications behave in foreground.

For full customization, see [Mobile Service Extensions](/docs/en/service-extensions).

### User state changes

* [`addObserver()` for user state](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addobserver-user-state): Detect when the External ID is set.
* [`addPermissionObserver()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addpermissionobserver-push): Track the user's specific interaction with the native push permission prompt.
* [`addObserver()` for push subscription](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addobserver-push-subscription-changes): Track when the push subscription status changes.

### In-app message events

* [`addClickListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addclicklistener-in-app): Handle in-app click actions. Ideal for deep linking or tracking events.
* [`addLifecycleListener()`](/docs/en/mobile-sdk-reference#addclicklistener-in-app): Track full lifecycle of in-app messages (shown, clicked, dismissed, etc.).
