I want to implement FCM with flutter_local_notifications to handling notification from background and foreground. I already follow both documentation to setup the plugin. And when I try on Android, the background notification is work and show the notification. But when I try on foreground, the FCM is work (send the title and body), but the notification not show (get error). The detail error is bellow:
D/FLTFireMsgReceiver(26448): broadcast received for message

As you can see above, both Foreground and Background call some function notificationHelper.showNormalNotification(body). But when it's from Foreground getting error like in the above logcat, and when from Background it's work.
What I miss to setup flutter_local_notifications to work's when running in Foreground?
Finally, after spend 2 days of work I found my solution.
The notification not show when app is open or running in foreground it's because in my AndroidManifest.xml have intent service for deeplink.
<intent-filter>
....
<data android:scheme="${deeplink_schema}" />
</intent-filter>
