Push Notifications in WebView android app

Question

I have a requirement where I want to send push notifications to the user.
For example

the app will have 2 users. If user 1 send a friend request to user 2 then user 2 should get a notification like " You got friend request from user 1" and when user 2 clicks on that notification he should able to see the user 1 profile.

I know how to do all these with the activities but here I am using web view, so please help me to solve with this. Any help is appreciable.

You can always access your Java code trough javascrtipt running on the web page your WebView is presenting. You can define a Java method (which sends the notification through your backend) and call it from your custom javascript.

Take a look at https://developer.android.com/reference/android/webkit/WebView.html#addJavascriptInterface(java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.String)
