1251317 - Probe to measure usage and activity of content notifications

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Metrics, defect)

Description

[Barbara Bermes [:barbara] - NI please!]

- How many times notifications are triggered on signal
- How many "subscriptions" devices we have (if possible)
- How many users turned off the notification to decide that the feature is annoying people, not needed
- How many times the browser was actually opened right after (within 1 day) receiving the trigger to see if this drives engagement -- not sure if we can measure that

Should match what we do for Tab Queues, which has the same semantics.

> - How many "subscriptions" devices we have (if possible)

As stated (assuming we could define 'devices') this sounds like a histogram.

We could restate this as: Add a probe for adding and removing a subscription. Then we can look at event data and track number of new subscriptions per week.

Simple event probe on the "notifications settings" button of the Notification. Then we already track people flipping settings. So it's a funnel-problem: show-notification -> tap notification-settings -> flip pref to disable

We would track people tapping the notification to display the updated content in the browser. I assume that works a lot like Tab Queues and we should mimic the loadurls we do for that.
