Wallet Messaging API

A wallet message is a way to communicate with your end users directly in their wallet app. These messages may display differently depending on which operating system the end user is on.

For example, Android devices can only receive location notifications; they cannot receive scheduled notifications.

Geofenced notifications on Android

Google has temporarily made geofenced notifications unavailable for a majority of users while they make platform improvements.
