Android app is not receiving FCM notification when closed

Question

I am checking Firebase Cloud Messaging to send notification. Have implemented it already and its receiving notification when app is in open state. But if I close app, its no longer gives notification. Is there any solution for this.

Code:

WebRequest wRequest;
wRequest = WebRequest.Create("https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send");
wRequest.Method = "post";
wRequest.ContentType = " application/json;charset=UTF-8";
wRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Authorization: key={0}", AppId));

wRequest.Headers.Add(string.Format("Sender: id={0}", SenderId));

string postData = "{\"registration_ids\":[\"" + regIds + "\"], \"data\": "+ value +"}";

Byte[] bytes = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(postData);
wRequest.ContentLength = bytes.Length;

Stream stream = wRequest.GetRequestStream();
stream.Write(bytes, 0, bytes.Length);
stream.Close();

WebResponse wResponse = wRequest.GetResponse();

Messaging service-

public class MessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
    @Override
    public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
        Map<String, String>  data = remoteMessage.getData();
        sendNotification(data);
    }

    public void showMessage(Map<String, String>  serverData) {
        Intent i = new Intent(this,MainActivity.class);
        i.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,0,i,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        NotificationCompat.Builder builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setContentTitle(serverData.get("Title"))
                .setContentText(serverData.get("Message"))
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        NotificationManager manager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        manager.notify(Integer.parseInt(serverData.get("ItemId")),builder.build());
    }

    private void sendNotification(Map<String, String>  serverData) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,0 /* request code */, intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

        long[] pattern = {500,500,500,500,500};

        Uri defaultSoundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.common_google_signin_btn_icon_dark)
                .setContentTitle(serverData.get("Title"))
                .setContentText(serverData.get("Message"))
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setVibrate(pattern)
                .setLights(Color.BLUE,1,1)
                .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notificationManager.notify(Integer.parseInt(serverData.get("ItemId")), notificationBuilder.build());
    }

}

Main activity-

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
       FirebaseMessaging.getInstance().subscribeToTopic("test");
        FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();
    }
}

    </application>

Solution 1

There was no issue with the code. I was using Mi note 4, and somehow it does not show notification in Mi4 when app is closed. I tested with other android device and its working fine.

Thanks to Tim Castelijns and Frank van Puffelen for participating in the conversation.

Solution 2

There's good solution and explanation about that issue here. You need to set high priority for notification to tell android react immediately, otherwise it takes couple of minutes to display received notification.

For MI you need to put app in auto-start mode in Security to get notification when app is closed

[Nikhil Gaur]

if you see the code there no notification object. He is only sending data object

[Sjd]

you need to send notification object as well.

[Nikhil Gaur]

but if we will send notification object then it will not hit onMessageReceived and notification will be handled by android itself and will be displayed in notification tray (without your client app). And if we send without notification object but data object is there then it will always hit onMessageReceived.

This is probably valid only if the user comes back to the application.
