I have an Android app developed with Ionic Framework. I'm using the ngCordova plugin for push notifications and sending them using parse.com
The notifications are received when the app is running, but the notifications are not shown on the notification tray when the app is on background. I receive something like this:
notification = {
payload: {
data: {
alert: "message",
}
}
}
But, when I send them directly through CGM, the notification do appear on the notification tray. And the object I receive is like:
notification = {
message: "this appear on notification tray",
payload: {
message: "this appear on notification tray"
}
}
Is there something wrong with Parse? Or is something I'm missing about Parse?
This is kind of an old post, but I ran across this issue using Xamarin and Parse Push notifications, but my work around may work for you (and others that may see this in the future).
I wound up broadcasting a local Push Notification after the Parse notification is received.
First assign a receiver to the Parse notification event:
ParsePush.ParsePushNotificationReceived += PushNotificationReceived;
Then in the method:
void PushNotificationReceived (object sender, ParsePushNotificationEventArgs e)
{
var payload = JObject.Parse (e.StringPayload); // Parse the JSON payload
Notification.Builder builder = new Notification.Builder (this);
builder.SetContentTitle (payload ["alert"].ToString ());
builder.SetContentText (payload ["androidDetail"].ToString ()); // Note: this is another field I added to the Parse Notification
builder.SetDefaults (NotificationDefaults.Sound | NotificationDefaults.Vibrate);
builder.SetSound (RingtoneManager.GetDefaultUri (RingtoneType.Notification));
builder.SetSmallIcon (Resource.Drawable.small_notification_icon);
var largeIcon = BitmapFactory.DecodeResource (Resources, Resource.Drawable.large_notification_icon);
builder.SetLargeIcon (largeIcon);
var notification = builder.Build ();
notification.Defaults |= NotificationDefaults.Vibrate;
NotificationManager notManager = (NotificationManager)GetSystemService (Context.NotificationService);
notManager.Notify (0, notification);
}
Hope this helps you and anyone else who comes across this!

I'm using FirebaseMessagingService for my push notifications. It is working as intented in app. onMessageReceived is called, I can get notification title and body + data payload and send reaction depends on payload data to my Activity using LocalBroadcastManager.
But there is problem with background push notification. This will only show notification in background, but it is not created in onMessageReceived because this function cannot be called if app is in background.
According to documentation, data part of push notification is stored in extras and can be found when Activity is resumed. I have function for this already and its working. But problem is that I dont have title and message, because it was not send to onMessageReceived and I cannot catch this information.
Is there any way how to obtain it? Because I need to show it in my dialog window inside app. Push notification is not only text and title and it is not just information for user, but it will do some action.
Receiving notification title, body and payload in FirebaseMessagingService:
override fun onMessageReceived(msg: RemoteMessage?) {
val pNotification = msg?.notification
val payload = msg?.data
if (pNotification != null){
val ntitle = pNotification.title
val nMsg = pNotification.body
}
//working with payload - creating notification and Intent for LocalBroadcastmanager
}
Catching payload from extras inside onResume()
private fun maybeFindBackgroundPayload(extras: Bundle?){
if (extras != null){
extras.keySet().forEach { key->
val keyValue = extras[key]
App.log("BackgroundKeyValues: $keyValue")
if (key.equals("gcm.notification.body", ignoreCase = true) && keyValue != null){
...
//Working with payload data key value - dont have title and body
}
}
}
}
Unfortunately, it is not possible the way you want it to work.
If the push notification has a notification part in the payload and your app is in the background, onMessageReceived will never be called. The notification is automatically created and displayed by firebase. There is no way to intercept this and modify the notification or do any other operation for that matter. Your app will only get control once the notification is clicked.
When the app is in foreground, as you mentioned, onMessageReceived will always be called.
The only way to ensure that onMessageReceived is called in all situations(foreground, background and app killed) is to send a data-only payload from firebase. That is, remove the notification part of the firebase payload body and put the content(title,body etc) in the data part of the payload. And in your onMessageReceived assign this title, body etc to the notification you are creating.
Here is how your payload from firebase will need to be:
{
"registration_ids":[
"firebase_token"
],
"data":{
"body":"body of notification",
"title":"title of notification",
"otherdatakey":"otherdatavalue"
}
}
Then in your onMessageReceived function, you need to explicitly extract the title and body and assign it to the notification(along with any other operations you want to do of course):
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage message) {
Map<String, String> dataMap = message.getData();
String title = dataMap.get("title");
String body = dataMap.get("body");
String otherdatavalue = dataMap.get("otherdatakey");
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(body)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);//To handle click of notification
}
I have an Android app, and am trying to send a notification to a specific device on which it is installed, using the Firebase Messaging API from a Firebase Function. But the notification never shows up. However, sending manually from the Firebase Console does make a notification show up successfully on the same device. Here is the relevant Firebase Function code:
var message = {
notification: {
title: notifTitle,
body: notifBody,
sound: 'default',
android_channel_id: 'update_channel',
channel_id: 'update_channel'
// tag:
}
};
var options = {}
console.log(message);
console.log('registrationToken: ' + registrationToken);
// Send a message to the device corresponding to the provided
// registration token.
admin.messaging().sendToDevice([registrationToken], message, options)
.then((response) => {
console.log(response);
...
Which logs the following when invoked, appearing to have sent the notification successfully:
{ results: [ { messageId: '0:1544572985549904%5be491645be49164' } ],
canonicalRegistrationTokenCount: 0,
failureCount: 0,
successCount: 1,
multicastId: 5825519571250606000 }
In my Android app I've created the update_channel in the main activity's onCreate() (because, from what I've gathered, Android Oreo API 26+ requires a specific channel...):
private void createNotificationChannel() {
// Create the NotificationChannel, but only on API 26+ because
// the NotificationChannel class is new and not in the support library
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.O) {
String id = getString(R.string.update_notification_channel);
CharSequence name = getString(R.string.app_name);
String description = getString(R.string.app_name);
int importance = NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_DEFAULT;
NotificationChannel channel = new NotificationChannel(id, name, importance);
channel.setImportance(NotificationManager.IMPORTANCE_HIGH);
//channel.setDescription(description);
// Register the channel with the system; you can't change the importance
// or other notification behaviors after this
NotificationManager notificationManager = getSystemService(NotificationManager.class);
notificationManager.createNotificationChannel(channel);
}
}
And also setting it as the default channel in the Manifest:
<meta-data android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
android:value="update_notification_channel"/>
I don't know if the problem is channel-related, or if I'm missing a step somewhere, or what.
For notifications to work while the app is in the foreground or background, you must implement and register a FirebaseMessagingService in your Android app, to receive calls on onMessageReceived(), then create notifications with the NotificationManager in there manually when a notification message comes in.
From the documentation:
Firebase notifications behave differently depending on the foreground/background state of the receiving app. If you want foregrounded apps to receive notification messages or data messages, you’ll need to write code to handle the onMessageReceived callback.
I need help. Firebase Notifications is Not Working in Background. This is My Code:
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
Log.d(TAG, "FROM:" + remoteMessage.getFrom());
sharedPreference = getSharedPreferences(Global.SECURETRADE, 0);
UID = sharedPreference.getString(Global.ID, "");
Uri defaultSoundUri=RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION)`enter code here`;
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new
NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
notificationBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.small_secure_trade_app_icon);
} else {
notificationBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.small_secure_trade_app_icon);
}
notificationBuilder.setLargeIcon(BitmapFactory.decodeResource(this.getResources(), R.drawable.securetrade_icon));
notificationBuilder.setContentTitle(remoteMessage.getData().get("title"));
notificationBuilder.setContentText(remoteMessage.getData().get("body"));
notificationBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
notificationBuilder.setSound(defaultSoundUri);
notificationBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager)
getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());
}
}
when app is in background or killed you have to use data payload for notification.
Firebase onMessageReceived not called when app in background
Just remove 'notification' section from the json you sent through push notification.
Simply sent the 'data' section, onMessageReceived will work as normal
Yes, Firebase will not call the onMessageReceived() when the app is in background unless you make the notification request body changes from yoour server code.

Are you sending data-messages (not notification-messages) ?
notification-messages don't call onMessageReceived()
Use notification messages when you want FCM to handle displaying a
notification on your client app's behalf. Use data messages when you
want to process the messages on your client app.
Read more here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options#notifications_and_data_messages
PS: FCM Web Console always sends notification-messages
If you are sending a data-messages, and onMessageReceived() is not called...
then it's a different problem.
It might even be a problem of that specific device.
See Push notifications using FCM not received when app is killed android
when app running in background onMessageReceive will not work
offline message coming to launcher activity just copy this peace of code in your launcher activity and check it. it will work.
Bundle bundle = getIntent().getExtras();
if (bundle != null) {
Logger.info(TAG, "FIRE BASE OFF LINE NOTIFICATIONS COMING TO THIS BLOCK--->");
JSONObject json = new JSONObject();
Set<String> keys = bundle.keySet();
for (String key : keys) {
Logger.info(TAG, "json object--->" + key + "---values--" + JSONObject.wrap(bundle.get(key)));
}
}
and your payload should be like this
{ "notification": {
"title": "Your Title",
"text": "Your Text",
"click_action": "OPEN_ACTIVITY_1" // should match to your intent filter
},
"data": {
"keyname": "any value " //you can get this data as extras in your activity and this data is optional
},
"to" : "to_id(firebase refreshedToken)"
}

I've connected an Android app to Google Firebase Cloud Messaging service (FCM) following this guide,
and I've followed this answer to setup the connection between FCM & AWS SNS.
I could successfully receive message sent from FCM console but not from AWS SNS console.
The message delivery status logged on AWS showed SUCCESS for every message I've sent while no notification was shown on my device.
Is there a way to check what's going on?
I faced the exactly the same problem, message from Firebase with device token works but somehow message from SNS to Firebase is not delivered.
I did develop iOS app as well, and at that moment, just sending "brabra" delivered message to iOS. However, FCM only accepts particular message format to test it from AWS SNS console.
Here is the example format of successful delivery of message to Android through SNS and FCM.
{
"GCM": "{\"notification\": { \"body\": \"Sample message for Android endpoints\", \"title\":\"Hello world\" } }"
}
The point is that we have to amend to "notification", not "data", and should have body and title in the notification.
The problem here is that AWS SNS sends what Google calls data messages.
With FCM you can send two types of messages - notifications and data. Notifications get displayed automatically by FCM while data messages do not. More on this here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options
Data messages that come in from SNS still can be handled - even if your app is in the background - by extending FirebaseMessagingService and overriding it's onMessageReceived method. More on this here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/android/com/google/firebase/messaging/FirebaseMessagingService
I assume you would want your AWS SNS messages to mimic the notifications experience, namely:
See them pop up when the app is in the background
Have your text displayed in the notification
When the app activates you want all of the messages cleared out from
the drawer
To achieve this you'll want to do three things.
Firstly - you'll want to start tracking if your app is currently visible or not. The details on how to reliably detect this you can find here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/18469643/96911
Secondly - you'll want to handle data messages from AWS SNS by posting a notification, but only when your app is in the background:
public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
static protected int id = 0;
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage);
if (!MyApplication.isActivityVisible()) {
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
mBuilder.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon);
String message = remoteMessage.getData().get("default");
mBuilder.setContentText(message);
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(
this,
0,
resultIntent,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.notify(id ++, mBuilder.build());
}
}
}
And lastly - you'll want to clear out all of the notifications from the drawer when the user clicks on one of them. Combined with the visibility tracking I linked just above the activity that responds to the notifications should have the following onResume method:
#Override
protected void onResume() {
super.onResume();
MyApplication.activityResumed();
NotificationManager mNotificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
mNotificationManager.cancelAll();
}
It's been a long time since you asked this question but it was so painful for me to get to the bottom of this I decided to answer anyway. I hope this helps you or somebody tearing their hair out trying to make this thing work (cause making iOS work was a breeze, sheesh).
You can use this video tutorial https://youtu.be/iBTFLu30dSg with English subtitles of how to use FCM with AWS SNS step by step and example of how to send push notifications from AWS console. It works well for me and I successfully received push notification from SNS console and from my code on the mobile device
Simply using this JSON format:
{
"GCM": "{ \"notification\": { \"body\": \"Sample message for Android endpoints\",\"title\": \"Sample message for Android endpoints\"}}"
}
To get the Data from AWS SNS Console follow the below step:
1) Add the Project in FCM and Use Legacy server key for AWS SNS.
2) Get the Device token by using the below code:
String deviceToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();
3) Implement the below code in your application
public class MyFirebaseInstanceIDService extends FirebaseInstanceIdService {
#Override
public void onTokenRefresh() {
String refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();
sendRegistrationToServer(refreshedToken);
}
private void sendRegistrationToServer(String token) {
// TODO: Implement this method to send token to your app server.
}
}
4) Override onMessageReceived() its invoke when notification is received:
public class AppFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
static protected int id = 0;
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
//remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody()
if (remoteMessage.getData().get("default").length() > 0) {
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Uri ringNotificationSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder notifyBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
.setContentTitle("ApplicationName")
.setContentText(remoteMessage.getData().get("default"))
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setSound(ringNotificationSound)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify(id++, notifyBuilder.build());
}
}
}
When We get the Notification from AWS SNS Service then we use remoteMessage.getData().get("default") for reading the message from AWS.
I am using FCM in my app. I followed the Firebase documentation and all seems to be working as expected.
I am able to receive message notifications when the app is killed, in background and in foreground.
Now I want to give full control the user by adding some app preferences.
The user can disable all notification from the app settings
The user can change notification ringtone from the app settings
I have an idea on how to do it when the app is in killed or in the foreground. I am thinking of accessing the sharedprefs in my FirebaseMessagingService to see if the app should show the notification and check what ringtone to use. Unless there is a generic way to set those parameters, like "unsubscribing" from all notification or changing the app default notification ringtone which I am not aware of?
However I have no idea how i can do it for the notifications received when the app in is the background since the notifications are delivered to the device's system tray.
Anyone has any idea or can point me to some documentation... I am not finding any info on this?
By default, notifications affect every user. If you'd like to allow users to opt-out of all notifications (or certain subsets of notifications), you should use topic messaging: by default, you'd call subscribeToTopic() for all users and if they opt-out of notifications, you'd call unsubscribeToTopic().
By sending a notification to a topic, only the subscribed users will receive it.
The notification payload support documentation explains how to include a sound parameter to override the ringtone - on Android, that can be any sound bundled in the app's res/raw directory.
It should be noted that neither of these features are supported in the Console, but require that you create your own Firebase Cloud Messaging Server
As firebase notification service is having 2 object 1st is "data" and 2nd is "notification", when you are sending push from firebase console it sending data in "notification" object. When u handle the notification in FirebaseMessagingService.class you are creating a custom notification with NotificationBuilder. When App is in background you wont be able to create notification from "notification" object. so, your custom made notification wont be appear in notification tray, You need to push a notification from your backend and send notification contents in "data" object. You will be able to customise your notification every time.
please refer this for more : https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/send-multiple
The user can disable all notification from the app settings.
You can use shared preferences as you stated yourself. As far as a generic method is concerned you should look into #ianhanniballake 's answer.
The user can change notification ringtone from the app settings
For default ringtones refer to this link. The 3rd answer in this link also explains how to bring the sound selector from settings activity of your app. If you want custom sounds refer this.
Of course, you'll have to store user preferences so that you don't ask the user each time to select a sound.
And one more thing since you are using a service so you need not access shared preferences each and every time to find which sound to play, you can store the choice in any variable. Whenever there is a change of notif-sound by the user, you can either set a listener or {stop service -> update preferences -> restart service}. Make sure every time the service starts it reads the preferences.
In this AndroidHive tutorials you can find how we change Ringtone for particular app and how to deal with notifications when app is in foreground and app is in background.
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
......
// Check if message contains a notification payload.
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
Log.e(TAG, "Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
handleNotification(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}
}
When notification type message is sent, firebase automatically shows the notification when the app is in background. If the app is in foreground, handleNotification() method handles the notification message.
private void handleNotification(String message) {
if (!NotificationUtils.isAppIsInBackground(getApplicationContext())) {
// app is in foreground, broadcast the push message
Intent pushNotification = new Intent(Config.PUSH_NOTIFICATION);
pushNotification.putExtra("message", message);
LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(pushNotification);
// play notification sound
NotificationUtils notificationUtils = new NotificationUtils(getApplicationContext());
notificationUtils.playNotificationSound();
}else{
// If the app is in background, firebase itself handles the notification
}
}
Here you handle custom Notification Sound-
// Playing notification sound
public void playNotificationSound() {
try {
Uri alarmSound = Uri.parse(ContentResolver.SCHEME_ANDROID_RESOURCE
+ "://" + mContext.getPackageName() + "/raw/notification");
Ringtone r = RingtoneManager.getRingtone(mContext, alarmSound);
r.play();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Firebase will not call your onMessageReceived when your app is in background or killed, and you can't customise your notification. System generated notification will show.
to make firebase library to call your onMessageReived in every cases
a) Foreground
b) Background
c) Killed
you must not put json key "notification" in your request to firebase api but instead use "data", see below.
For example following message will not call onMessagereceived()
{
"to": "/topics/test",
"notification": {
"title" : "title",
"text": "data!",
"icon": "ic_notification"
}
}
but this will work
{
"to": "/topics/test",
"data": {
"text":"text",
"title":"",
"line1":"testline",
"line2":"test"
}
}
see this link:https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/concept-options
it has a detailed description of firebase message type
For example:
#Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
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(remoteMessage.getData().get("state").toString().equals("Request")){
sendNotification(remoteMessage.getData().get("body").toString(), remoteMessage.getData().get("message").toString(), remoteMessage.getData().get("state").toString(),Activity_name.class);
}
}
private void sendNotification(String messageBody, String data, String state,Class<?> activityCompat) {
int requestID = (int) System.currentTimeMillis();
Intent intent = new Intent(this, activityCompat);
Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
bundle.putString("message", data);
bundle.putString("state", state);
intent.putExtras(bundle);
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, requestID, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.small_logo)
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText(messageBody).setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(messageBody))
.setTicker(messageBody);
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationBuilder.getNotification().flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
notificationManager.notify((int) Calendar.getInstance().getTimeInMillis(), notification);
}
