error unauthorized: master key is required when trying to send notification with parse to an specefic device Android Parse

I'm trying to send notification to an specefic device using Parse In android. this is my code for ParseInstallation:

 ParseInstallation installation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
    installation.put("device_id", "1234567890");
    installation.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
        @Override
        public void done(ParseException e) {
            Log.d(TAG, "done1: "+e);
        }
    });

and this is my code for sending the notificaiton to specefic device that i already installed :

ParseQuery query = ParseInstallation.getQuery();
query.whereEqualTo("device_id", "1234567890");
ParsePush push = new ParsePush();
push.setQuery(query);
push.setMessage("salamm");
push.sendInBackground(new SendCallback() {
    @Override
    public void done(ParseException e) {
        Log.d(TAG, "done: "+e);
    }
});

and i get this error in log : done: com.parse.ParseRequest$ParseRequestException: unauthorized: master key is required

can anyone help me with this?

For security reasons, it is not recommended to send pushes directly from the frontend. Imagine that a hacker could then send a bad massage to all your customer base.

The recommended way to do this: - Create a cloud code function to send the push - Android app will call this cloud code function

This is how your cloud code function should like:

Parse.Cloud.define('sendPush', function(request, response) {
  const query = new Parse.Query(Parse.Installation);
  query.equalTo('device_id', request.params.deviceId);
  Parse.Push.send({
    where: query,
    data: {
      alert: request.params.message
    }
  },
  { useMasterKey: true }
  )
  .then(function() {
    response.success();
  }, function(error) {
    response.error(error);
  });
});

And this is how your client code should like:

HashMap<String, String> params = new HashMap();
params.put("deviceId", "1234567890");
params.put("message", "salamm");
ParseCloud.callFunctionInBackground("sendPush", params, new
FunctionCallback<Object>() {
  @Override
  public void done(Object result, ParseException e) {
    Log.d(TAG, "done: "+e);
  }
});

Parse Server mo longer supports client push as it is a significant security risk. The best alternative is to put this logic in a cloud code function and call that via the Android SDK.

See the section on sending push notification in the JS guide for more information.

Remember to add use {useMasterKey:true}
