Bias Analysis

Detected Bias Types
windows_first
missing_linux_example
windows_tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only Windows/Windows Phone-specific notification examples (using Windows toast XML and SendWindowsNativeNotificationAsync), with no equivalent examples for Linux, Android, or iOS platforms. Windows notification patterns and tools are mentioned exclusively, and cross-platform parity is not demonstrated.
Recommendations
  • Add code examples for sending notifications to Android (using FCM) and iOS (using APNs) alongside the Windows examples.
  • Include sample payloads and SDK usage for non-Windows platforms to illustrate cross-platform capabilities.
  • Reorganize examples so that Windows is not always presented first; consider grouping by platform or showing all platforms equally.
  • Explicitly mention and link to documentation for sending notifications to Linux-based devices (e.g., Android) and iOS.
  • Clarify in the text that Azure Notification Hubs supports multiple platforms, not just Windows, and provide balanced coverage.
