Messages not loading on clicking Firebase notification


I have a created a Firebase application using the tutorial given here. As I am a beginner to Android, please help me solving this. My app has a only one activity.

When I send a message from my Firebase console, I am able to see the message and the toast on screen when the app is open. However, if the app is not running, I am able to see the notification from Firebase in Notifications Bar but on clicking it neither the toast comes or the message gets shown on the screen. Everything works well only for the very first time the app is installed. How can I solve this problem? Kindly help. Below are my codes:

Activity_main.xml:

Kindly help in solving this problem.


Solution

  • The onMessageReceived method will be called only when your application is opened/foreground when you send "Notification type message". If want to run onMessageReceived either your application in close then send "Data message". Click here to learn more about data message. Send data notification from server. JSON sample for data message taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/38795553/3529309

    {
      "to": "/topics/dev_journal",
       "data": {
           "text":"text",
           "title":"",
           "line1":"Journal",
           "line2":"test"
       }
    } 
    

    Use push.php class from tutorial link you mentioned to send data message.
