title: Using silent notifications to update screen
body: <p>In my app I have implemented a chat feature with a socketio backend.
  All conversations grouped in a view like below:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8HHKq.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8HHKq.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>Is silent notifications the best way to handle the update of this screen?</p>
  
  <p>I also have "alert" notification sent by a nodejs server when I message is sent to a user. </p>
  
  <p>How to handle both of those notifications, if the user allow notifications or not, if the app is in foreground, background etc. </p>
  
  <p>It's a little bit confuse for now so if you have some explanation for this topic to maybe if it's not the right way to do it  thank you.</p>
