How to call methods in Firebase Cloud Messaging integration with Android Studio

I am trying to integrate Firebase Cloud Messaging into my Android Studio project. I began by going to tools, clicking Firebase, going to Cloud Messaging, and then clicking "Connect your app to Firebase" and "Add FCM to your App". Both processes went without a hitch, but the problem came up later. When I was following step 3, there were two blocks of code that we were supposed to integrate. The first block was supposed to be a service that extends FirebaseMessagingService. The second block was a dependency that was supposed to be placed in the manifest. These are the two blocks respectively:
The problem is that the service file is returning the error "Cannot resolve method 'scheduleJob()'", 'handleNow()', and 'sendRegistrationToServer(token)'
I suspected that new methods had to be created, but these methods were supposed to draw from the parent class (I think). I have not clicked the suggestion to create the new methods because I was uncertain whether there would be any functionality.
The first set of code below is the file I made by doing
File->New->Service->Service.
I named the file "MyFirebaseMessagingService". The second set of code is my manifest.
package com.example.piggybank_v3;
import android.app.Service;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.IBinder;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.firebase.messaging.FirebaseMessagingService;
import com.google.firebase.messaging.RemoteMessage;
import static androidx.constraintlayout.widget.Constraints.TAG;
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
public MyFirebaseMessagingService() {
}
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
// ...
// TODO(developer): Handle FCM messages here.
// Not getting messages here? See why this may be:
Log.d(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
// Check if message contains a data payload.
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
if (/* Check if data needs to be processed by long running job */ true) {
// For long-running tasks (10 seconds or more) use Firebase Job Dispatcher.
scheduleJob();
} else {
// Handle message within 10 seconds
handleNow();
}
}
// Check if message contains a notification payload.
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
// Also if you intend on generating your own notifications as a result of a received FCM
// message, here is where that should be initiated. See sendNotification method below.
}
/**
* Called if InstanceID token is updated. This may occur if the security of
* the previous token had been compromised. Note that this is called when the InstanceID token
* is initially generated so this is where you would retrieve the token.
*/
#Override
public void onNewToken(String token) {
Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + token);
// If you want to send messages to this application instance or
// manage this apps subscriptions on the server side, send the
// Instance ID token to your app server.
sendRegistrationToServer(token);
}
#Override
public IBinder onBind(Intent intent) {
// TODO: Return the communication channel to the service.
throw new UnsupportedOperationException("Not yet implemented");
}
}
<service
android:name=".MyFirebaseMessagingService"
android:enabled="true"
android:exported="true"></service>
<service android:name=".java.MyFirebaseMessagingService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
The ideal result is that the project should sync when running, but it returns these errors: "Cannot resolve method 'scheduleJob()'", 'handleNow()', and 'sendRegistrationToServer(token)'

This is how service class work to receive notification message. So you've to edit your event in it then it'll works fine.
Firebase cloud message demo's are provided on github so can download it and can change firebase keys and package name to test it.

notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
notificationManager.notify(0 /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
}
}

Try this:
1.- Verify that the library is added in build.gradle:
implementation 'com.google.firebase: firebase-messaging: 19.0.1'
2.- As indicated, you must add the 'MyFirebaseMessagingService' service (previously created) to the AndroidManifest.xml and provide a default notification channel: (click here to learn more about the channels)
<service
android:name=".java.MyFirebaseMessagingService"
android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<meta-data
android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
android:value="#string/default_notification_channel_id" />
3.- Add the following in MainActivity.java to retrieve the current token when you need it:
FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId()
.addOnCompleteListener(new OnCompleteListener<InstanceIdResult>() {
#Override
public void onComplete(#NonNull Task<InstanceIdResult> task) {
if (!task.isSuccessful()) {
Log.w(TAG, "getInstanceId failed", task.getException());
return;
}
// Get new Instance ID token
String token = task.getResult().getToken();
// Log and toast
String msg = getString(R.string.msg_token_fmt, token);
Log.d(TAG, msg);
Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, msg, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
4.- Fill in the file 'MyFirebaseMessagingService.java':
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseMsgService";
/**
* Called when message is received.
*
* #param remoteMessage Object representing the message received from Firebase Cloud Messaging.
*/
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
// Check if message contains a data payload (beauty messages).
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
createAndSendNotificationB(remoteMessage);
}
// Check if message contains a notification payload (from console).
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
createAndSendNotificationC(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
}
private void createAndSendNotificationB(RemoteMessage remoteMessage){
//Code here
}
private void createAndSendNotificationC(String messageBody){
//Code here
}
}
With this it should work.
I have taken everything from the official documentation, I recommend you read it: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/client

Firebase FCM not calling service when app is in background/killed

I am integrating firebase FCM push notifications on an android app and all things are working fine except when app goes background/killed, the MyFirebaseMessagingService is not called. It works fine when app is in foreground. The onMessageReceived() is not at all called when app is in background.
I want to send push notifications from Firebase console UI only to all subscribers at once, not trying to do 1-1 messaging or sending through web server.
Not that the service is not running when app is closed from Recent Apps tray, the app is not at all working when simply the app goes to background.
Below are the respective codes:
MyFirebaseMessagingService
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseMsgService";
/**
* Called when message is received.
*
* #param remoteMessage Object representing the message received from Firebase Cloud Messaging.
*/
// [START receive_message]
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
// TODO(developer): Handle FCM messages here.
// Not getting messages here? See why this may be:
Log.d(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
// Check if message contains a data payload.
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
if (/* Check if data needs to be processed by long running job */ true) {
// For long-running tasks (10 seconds or more) use Firebase Job Dispatcher.
scheduleJob();
} else {
// Handle message within 10 seconds
handleNow();
}
}
// Check if message contains a notification payload.
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
// Also if you intend on generating your own notifications as a result of a received FCM
// message, here is where that should be initiated. See sendNotification method below.
}

FCM: Can We Send the 2 Types of Notifications and to Open Different Activities in Android App

I am implementing FCM notifications using cloud functions. In a single app I want to send 2 notifications and whenever the notification is received then the app should open with a different activity.
Suppose A is a sender who sends the notification to B(where B is the receiver).
Here it successfully sends the notification and whenever the user clicks on the notification it goes to desired Intent
Now, Whenever B needs to send the notification to A
*I am receiving the notification in an app but when I click on the notification it is going to the above notification Intent page.But I need to redirect to other Intent with data *
Any suggestions in this regard will be appreciated.

Yes, you should use
"android":{
"notification"{
"click_action":"OPEN_ACTIVITY_1"
}
}
and then in android app
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="OPEN_ACTIVITY_1" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
</intent-filter>

If you have problem with receiving notification in app you should log every push output:
public class FcmListenerService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Log.i(TAG, "Message received");
// Not getting messages here? See why this may be: https://firebase.google.com/support/faq/#fcm-android-background
Log.i(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
// Check if message contains a data payload.
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
Log.i(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
}
// Check if message contains a notification payload.
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.i(TAG, "Message notification: " + remoteMessage.getNotification());
}
}
}
It will only works if app is in foreground. When your app is in the background, notification messages are displayed in the system tray, and onMessageReceived is not called - https://firebase.google.com/support/faq/#fcm-android-background

How to get Heads Up notification in android using Firebase Cloud Messaging(Notification) while the app is not in foreground?

I have an app that should show headsup notification while the app is in both foreground and background(not in history).
In foreground case , i acheived this by the folowing method.
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx);
builder.setFullScreenIntent(pendingIntent,true);
But in background, it always showing in the notification area.Can anybody tell how to acheive this in background(not in history)
i tried the below parameters for notification but not working.
{
"to" : "_Token_",
"priority":"high",
"data":
{
"title": "Test",
"text": "Fcm"
},
"notification":
{
"title": "Test",
"text": "Fcm"
}
}

You should completely delete notification part from your Json and just use data ! That's the trick.
I mean this:
{
"to" : "_Token_",
"priority":"high",
"data":
{
"title": "Test",
"text": "Fcm"
}
}
When you have notification tag in your Json, sometimes the library decide to handle the notifications itself. so when your app is in foreground it wont call your on message receiver and it show the notification itself.
Just remove the notification and always use data tag.
It works both when your app is in foreground/background or killed and stopped

Firebase allows notification customization when data messages are used. Data messages invokes onMessageReceived() method even when the app in backgroud so you create your custom notification.
You can take reference of this link to know more about data notifications
Firebase notifications

instead of using setFullScreenIntent(), try this:
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(ctx, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(ctx);
builder.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_MAX);
builder.setSound(URI_TO_SOUND);
builder.setVibrate(ARRAY_WITH_VIBRATION_TIME);
Edit: for background you should do simillar. In order to show Heads-up notification there should be combination of high priority + sound and/or vibration (preferably both).
Edit2: Preferably you can show this notification in onMessageReceived() method, here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/receive#override-onmessagereceived

{
"to":"push-token",
"priority": "high",
"notification": {
"title": "Test",
"body": "Mary sent you a message!",
"sound": "default",
"icon": "youriconname"
}
}
Check this out: Create Heads-Up Display

You need to add your listener service, as you would in a standard GCM implementation.
public class MyGcmListenerService extends GcmListenerService {
private static final String TAG = "MyGcmListenerService";
/**
* Called when message is received.
*
* #param from SenderID of the sender.
* #param data Data bundle containing message data as key/value pairs.
* For Set of keys use data.keySet().
*/
// [START receive_message]
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(String from, Bundle data) {
String message = data.getString("message");
Log.d(TAG, "From: " + from);
Log.d(TAG, "Message: " + message);
if (from.startsWith("/topics/")) {
// message received from some topic.
} else {
// normal downstream message.
}
// [START_EXCLUDE]
/**
* Production applications would usually process the message here.
* Eg: - Syncing with server.
* - Store message in local database.
* - Update UI.
*/
/**
* In some cases it may be useful to show a notification indicating to the user
* that a message was received.
*/
sendNotification(message);
// [END_EXCLUDE]
}
// [END receive_message]
Then, register your receiver in AndroidManifest.xml tag to listen on incoming notifications:
<!-- [START gcm_listener] -->
<service
android:name="gcm.play.android.samples.com.gcmquickstart.MyGcmListenerService"
android:exported="false" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<!-- [END gcm_listener] -->
This way - you won't have to handle incoming messages separately for cases when app is in foreground vs background.

Firebase Cloud Messaging onMessageReceived not getting triggered

As instructed in Firebase dev docs, I've implemented a Service that extends FirebaseMessagingService and overrides the onMessageReceived callback. I have put a Log message in the first line inside the onMessageReceived method.
App running in background
I don't see the log in logcat but I see a Notification posted in the system try.
App in Foreground
I neither see the log nor the notification in system tray
Any idea what's going on?
Manifest
<service
android:name=".fcm.MovieMessagingService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
</intent-filter>
</service>
Service Class
public class MovieMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static final String LOG_TAG = MovieMessagingService.class.getSimpleName();
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
}
/**
* Create and show a simple notification containing the received FCM message.
*
* #param messageBody FCM message body received.
*/
private void sendNotification(String messageBody) {
Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Presenting Notification with message body: " + messageBody);
//more code
}
}

Actually, app's behavior, while receiving messages including both notification and data payloads, depends on whether the app is in the background or the foreground like:
When in the background, apps receive the notification payload in the notification tray, and only handle the data payload when the user taps on the notification.
When in the foreground, your app receives a message object with both payloads attached.
So, The summary is when app is in background, you can see the notification in system tray and can't see any log until tapping on the notification but you will see only the opening activity log not the service log as it's already executed.
And when the app in foreground you can see the log in logcat but you can't see any notification in the system tray as your app already open state you will receive only data payloads.

Here is a code example of how to receive messages and how to handle the different types. Here is the source of the code.
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseMsgService";
/**
* Called when message is received.
*
* #param remoteMessage Object representing the message received from Firebase Cloud Messaging.
*/
// [START receive_message]
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
// [START_EXCLUDE]
// There are two types of messages data messages and notification messages. Data messages are handled
// here in onMessageReceived whether the app is in the foreground or background. Data messages are the type
// traditionally used with GCM. Notification messages are only received here in onMessageReceived when the app
// is in the foreground. When the app is in the background an automatically generated notification is displayed.
// When the user taps on the notification they are returned to the app. Messages containing both notification
// and data payloads are treated as notification messages. The Firebase console always sends notification
// messages. For more see: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options
// [END_EXCLUDE]
Log.d(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());
// Check if message contains a data payload.
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message data payload: " + remoteMessage.getData());
}
// Check if message contains a notification payload.
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.d(TAG, "Message Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
}
