FirebaseMessaging.instance.getInitialMessage() not working with Splash Screen

I have integrated Firebase Cloud Messaging to my Flutter mobile app with the help of GetX State Management. Also I used Laravel with Firebase Admin SDK to send notification to my app.

The notification is working fine on both foreground state and background state (paused). The problem starts when I click the notification where the app is in terminated state (app closed). Do I have to set a delay between the splashscreen and main page?

I have tried to do this but error still occur

//open notif content from terminated state of the app
FirebaseMessaging.instance.getInitialMessage().then((message) {
  if (message != null) {
    print('TERMINATED');
    if (FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser != null) {
      final redirectRoute = message.data['route'];
      if (redirectRoute != null) {    
        //adding delay here since my splashscreen have the same delay        
        Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 6));
        bottomnavbarController.updateIndex(int.parse(redirectRoute));
      }
    } else {
      Get.offAllNamed(Routes.LOGIN);
    }
  }
});

I get this error

Unhandled Exception: 
You are trying to use contextless 
navigation without a GetMaterialApp or Get.key

Here is my main.dart

    //open notif content from terminated state of the app
    FirebaseMessaging.instance.getInitialMessage().then((message) {
      if (message != null) {
        if (FirebaseAuth.instance.currentUser == null) {
          Get.offAllNamed(Routes.LOGIN);
        } else {
          final redirectRoute = message.data['route'];
          if (redirectRoute != null) {
            print('TERMINATED');
            bottomnavbarController.updateIndex(int.parse(redirectRoute));
          }
        }
      }
    });
   

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    final authController = Get.put(AuthController(), permanent: true);
    return FutureBuilder(
      future: Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 6)),
      builder: (context, snapshot) {
        if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done) {
          return Obx(
            () => GetMaterialApp(
              debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,              
              title: "Application",
              theme: ThemeData(
                appBarTheme: const AppBarTheme(
                    elevation: 0.2,
                    foregroundColor: Colors.black,
                    backgroundColor: Colors.white),
              ),
              initialRoute: authController.isSkipIntro.isTrue
                  ? authController.isAuthAndVerified.isTrue
                      ? Routes.PAGEWRAPPER
                      : Routes.LOGIN
                  : Routes.INTRODUCTION,
              getPages: AppPages.routes,
            ),
          );
        }

        return FutureBuilder(

          builder: (context, snapshot) {
            return const SplashScreen();
          },
        );
      },
    );
  }

Here is my bottom nav controller

class BottomnavbarController extends GetxController {
  final bottomNavIndex = 0.obs;  
  
  void updateIndex(int index){
    bottomNavIndex.value = index;
    Get.offAllNamed(Routes.PAGEWRAPPER);
  }
}

Solution

I have solved this problem with an alternative solution for now. Here is the main.dart

@override
void initState() {
  super.initState();

  //open notif content from terminated state of the app
  FirebaseMessaging.instance.getInitialMessage().then((message) {
    if (message != null) {
      print('TERMINATED');
      final redirectRoute = message.data['route'];
      print('redirectRoute $redirectRoute');
      bottomnavbarController.updateIndex(int.parse(redirectRoute));
      //remove redirect route here, so the unknownRoute will trigger the default route
    }
  });

  //only works if app in foreground
  FirebaseMessaging.onMessage.listen((message) {
    LocalNotificationService.display(message);
  });

  //onclick notif system tray only works if app in background but not termi
  FirebaseMessaging.onMessageOpenedApp.listen((message) {
    final redirectRoute = message.data['route'];
    if (redirectRoute != null) {
      print('BACKGROUND');
      print('redirectRoute $redirectRoute');
      bottomnavbarController.updateIndex(int.parse(redirectRoute));
      Get.offAllNamed(Routes.PAGEWRAPPER);
    }
  });
}

@override
Widget build(BuildContext context) {
  final authController = Get.put(AuthController(), permanent: true);
  return FutureBuilder(
    future: Future.delayed(const Duration(seconds: 6)),
    builder: (context, snapshot) {
      if (snapshot.connectionState == ConnectionState.done) {
        return Obx(
          () => GetMaterialApp(
              debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
              title: "Application",
              theme: ThemeData(
                appBarTheme: const AppBarTheme(
                    elevation: 0.2,
                    foregroundColor: Colors.black,
                    backgroundColor: Colors.white),
              ),
              initialRoute: authController.isSkipIntro.isTrue
                  ? authController.isAuthAndVerified.isTrue
                      ? Routes.PAGEWRAPPER
                      : Routes.LOGIN
                  : Routes.INTRODUCTION,
              getPages: AppPages.routes,
              unknownRoute: authController.isAuthAndVerified.isTrue ? AppPages.routes[11] : AppPages.routes[1],
          ),
        );
      }
      return FutureBuilder(
        future: authController.firstInitialize(),
        builder: (context, snapshot) {
          return const SplashScreen();
        },
      );
    },
  );
}

I added this unknownRoute: on GetMaterialApp if the route is null which passing an array to the index of pagewrapper o login page inside AppPages class since the route in getInitialMessage() returns null.

I have define using Get.key and still returns null. Maybe app_routes.dart is not created yet before GetMaterialApp. Maybe that is why it returns null.

I still don't know why this is happening. Maybe it is a bug for GetX plugin. Anyway, this still works for me since I have updated the bottom nav index.
