How to Save a FCM token in Android?
Solution 1
Just add this in your code..
public class MyActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_my);
SharedPreferences prefs = getSharedPreferences("TOKEN_PREF", MODE_PRIVATE);
String token = prefs.getString("token", "");
Log.e("NEW_INACTIVITY_TOKEN", token);
if (TextUtils.isEmpty(token)) {
FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId().addOnSuccessListener(MyActivity.this, new OnSuccessListener<InstanceIdResult>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(InstanceIdResult instanceIdResult) {
String newToken = instanceIdResult.getToken();
Log.e("newToken", newToken);
SharedPreferences.Editor editor = getSharedPreferences("TOKEN_PREF", MODE_PRIVATE).edit();
if (token!=null){
editor.putString("token", newToken);
editor.apply();
}
}
});
}
}
}
Firebase Tokens are called once when the app is installed and runned for the first time so ignore the Saving the data or running this Activity/Service once the Data is Saved with Shared Prefs
Solution 2
The onTokenRefresh
/onNewToken
method will only be called when a new token is generated.
Quite often (especially during development) your app will already have generated an Instance ID token before you added the service. So onTokenRefresh
/onNewToken
will not be called, and you won't have a token in your shared preferences.
For this reason you should get the token directly from your main activity with FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId()
as shown in the documentation. This will pick up the token that was last generated. From there on you use onTokenRefresh
/onNewToken
to respond to token changes.
Solution 3
No need to Use getToken()
new token already returned by onNewToken
argument
@Override
public void onNewToken(String refreshedToken) {
// No need to assign refreshedToken with getToken,
// this method called when token refreshed then use returned refreshedToken directly,
// use `instanceIdResult.getToken()` described below when you need to use token later throw app usage.
// refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId().getResult().getToken();
Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + refreshedToken);
storeToken(refreshedToken);
}
getToken(); is also deprecated
Get Token in your Activity : .getToken(); is also deprecated if you need to get token in your activity then use as following:
FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId().addOnSuccessListener( MyActivity.this, new OnSuccessListener<InstanceIdResult>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(InstanceIdResult instanceIdResult) {
String newToken = instanceIdResult.getToken();
Log.e("newToken",newToken);
}
});
Solution 4
May be it takes some time to generate token. If you don't get it you can generate it as follow: (Reference:https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/android/client?authuser=0)
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();
//Here you will surely get the token so store it in
//sharedpreference for future use
}
});
Solution 5
Try this just uninstall and reinstall app because token is not generated everytime you play the app. It's generated when you clear sharePref or reinstall.

Don't Be negative almost 2 years
I am following this to register my deivce in Firebase
Here I am trying to display and save the notification token
public class MyFirebaseInstanceIDService extends FirebaseInstanceIdService { private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseIIDService"; @Override public void onTokenRefresh() { String refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken(); Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + refreshedToken); storeToken(refreshedToken); } private void storeToken(String token) { //saving the token on shared preferences SharedPrefManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).saveDeviceToken(token); } }
When I try to register it Always Says Token
Token not generated
form MainActivitySo Here My Application is connected to Firebase.. and I know that
FirebaseInstanceIdService
is Deprecated I also tried with thispublic class MyFirebaseInstanceIDService extends FirebaseMessagingService { private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseIIDService"; @Override public void onNewToken(String refreshedToken) { refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId().getResult().getToken(); Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + refreshedToken); storeToken(refreshedToken); } private void storeToken(String token) { //saving the token on shared preferences SharedPrefManager.getInstance(getApplicationContext()).saveDeviceToken(token); } }
But Still same token is not generated
-
Don't Be negative over 5 yearsYes Now this is Worked fine Token Generated,,,But without Uninstall Is it not possible???
-
Don't Be negative over 5 yearsYes now I understand that Token only Generated only when The App is installed First time... After Getting Token I am Trying to add Shared prefs,,, But After uninstalling Its worked fine..
-
Don't Be negative over 5 yearsSo Without Uninstall Can I get Token every time When I run??? If already Token Generated I wont call the Service Which generates Token
-
Don't Be negative over 5 yearsYes now this works fine.. no effect on every time I open the app.. and token is saved successfully

Frank van Puffelen over 5 yearsAn uninstall indeed wipes the token. So upon a reinstall your
onTokenRefresh
/onNewToken
gets called. As I said in my answer, if you simply want to get the token in your main activity, callFirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId()
. If that doesn't result in a token, it hasn't been generated yet and youronTokenRefresh
/onNewToken
will get called eventually. -
Don't Be negative over 5 yearsYup thanks,,, with your and @MLN Now I got It.. Thanks
-
Vivek Mishra over 5 years@FrankvanPuffelen can you help me with the same issue. My token is not generating even on first run. Here is the link to my question. stackoverflow.com/questions/52658578/…

qkx over 3 yearsyour answer is not actual anymore (they seem to change firebase lietarlly every few months, half of their docs does not work even if you copy paste it and tons of methods are deprecated or completely different).
