Is there a way to receive data notifications in flutter when the app is killed?

Question

I am trying to implement custom ui for push notifications in android (title, body, image loaded from url),

the firebase_messaging dart plugin has a limitation for receiving data notifications when the app is killed.

using data payload instead of notifications payload is the option to draw custom ui notifications in android natively.

Is there a way to receive data notifications in flutter when the app is killed ?

Solution

You can write a background message handler in headless function and use firebase local notification plugin to show the notification
