To set up Capacitor push notifications, install the @capacitor/push-notifications plugin and configure Firebase Cloud Messaging for Android and APNs for iOS. You must handle platform-specific permissions and registration flows to obtain device tokens for delivery.

Token management in Capacitor involves registering the device with FCM or APNs to receive a unique token. You then send this token to your backend server to target specific devices when delivering push notifications across iOS and Android.

Yes, Capacitor push notification integration handles events across foreground, background, and tap interactions. You can listen for incoming notifications while the app is open and process notification taps when the app is closed or backgrounded.

Firebase Cloud Messaging can be used to send push notifications to iOS devices by routing them through Apple Push Notification Service. This provides a unified cross-platform delivery system for both Android and iOS within your Capacitor app.

The best way to request push notification permissions is to initialize the permission flow using the @capacitor/push-notifications plugin. This prompts the user for access on iOS and Android before registering the device for token generation.

Capacitor push notifications fail on iOS when APNs configuration is missing or permissions are not requested. Ensure your Apple Push Notification Service certificates are configured and the plugin's registration flow is fully implemented.
