firebase.notifications() is throwing error in react-native-firebase


I have successfully integrated firebase on my mobile application. for now I am testing it on android. I am successfully receiving notification. My next step is to trigger the event when app is in foreground and in background and read the data. for this matter I saw the documentation and used firebase.notifications().displayNotification(). But it is throwing error.

Ensure you have:

1) Installed the required Firebase Android SDK dependency 'com.google.firebase:firebase-notifications' in your 'android/app/build.gradle' file.

2) Imported the 'io.invertase.firebase.notifications.RNFirebaseNotificationsPackage' module in your 'MainApplication.java' file. 3) Added the 'new RNFirebaseNotificationsPackage()' line inside of the RN'getPackages()' method list.


Solution

  • It sounds like you need follow the instructions on this page to install the Notifications dependency. They recently rewrote the notifications part of react-native-firebase, so this might also be needed for your use case.
