Is there a way to use cloud messaging without displaying a notification in Flutter using Firebase or other cloud messaging platforms?

Question

i am developing a mobile application using Flutter. I was wondering if we can use Cloud Messaging for data transfer or event listening purposes without giving user an actual app notification if app is currently running.

For example;

• User taps on "make payment" button and result of that payment process is produced from an async method in a microservice that we don't know when it will return the result thus we can not synchronously wait the result on mobile.

Can i use cloud messaging for these purposes without popping up a notification?

Thank you for your answers and time..

Answer 1

Are saying like listening some notification data something like this

// This is when app is running not on background   
      FirebaseMessaging.onMessage.listen((RemoteMessage? message) {
        RemoteNotification? notification = message!.notification;
        // just use message!.data it depends on you
        // notification!.data
        // is always return Map e.g. { "id":"sampleId"}
       // so call it like notification!.data["id"]
        if(notification!.data!= null){
              // Do your thing here.
         }
        
         });
