Updating FCM Token on Flutter App
Base on this firebase document fcm token will changed on below events:
- The app deletes Instance ID
- The app is restored on a new device
- The user uninstalls/reinstall the app
- The user clears app data
If the app doesn't get started for a long time, and none of the above events has occurred, the app token will not changed.

I have a Flutter app that creates a FCM Token on the first run, like this:
_firebaseMessaging.getToken().then((token) { //save my token here });
However, I understand that this token can be refreshed once in awhile. In order to get this new refreshed token, I must call
onTokenRefresh
method:Stream<String> fcmStream = _firebaseMessaging.onTokenRefresh; fcmStream.listen((token) { saveToken(token); });
The problem is that I don't know if this it is correct. The line
saveToken(token)
is always execute when the app runs, but it works when the app is not on foreground/background?I mean, this
onTokenRefresh
will keep listening even if the user closes the app?If not, how do I get the new token if the app doesn't get started for a long time?
