Multi tool use

Auto send push notification from app server

Is there any way to send a push notification from server when a user complete a task? For example: A todo app will notify on that date with push notification. I want to use firebase and firestore for storing user tokens.
Alarm manager can be a solution that I have found but I don't wanna use it.

It sounds like you're looking for a tool that allows you to schedule transactional notifications. What sort of server technology are you using?

From a high level you could do something like this:
1) user adds a task in the Android application
2) android application sends request to server to save the task
3) you have some code that runs in some sort of on task save callback that schedules a block of code to run in the future using crontab, celery or something similar.
4) the block of code that runs in the future is an api call to twilio to send a push notification
