Flutter Android tap on notification does not open app

Question

I am using firebase_cloud_messaging in my Flutter app and I can receive notifications just fine, but when tapping them, nothing happens. While testing, the app was always in the background. I read that by default, it should open the app. What am I missing here?

Do I have to specify something so the app opens? It works fine on iOS.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Answer 1

I was missing the following intent-filter. Adding this makes the notifications open the app.

See this question for more info.

  <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

        <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
  </intent-filter>
