Clicking on notification doesn't open mentione

Question

I am trying to open an Activity when the notification is clicked and below is my code.

Intent intent = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(), NotificationActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("msgBody",messageBody);
intent.putExtra(Constants.NOTIF_INTENT_TYPE,Constants.NOTIF_INTENT_TYPE);

intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
                |Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP
                |Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP); //Tried with many options here

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 , intent,
                                         PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT);

Uri defaultSoundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.otp_icon)
                .setContentTitle("Push MSG")
                .setContentText(messageBody)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

NotificationManager notificationManager =
                (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());

Whenever I get notification from FCM I am calling this notification. The NotificationActivity is not opening whenever I click on notification, rather the app is opening(splash screen->starting activity of my usual app flow). Whenever I get notification while the app is already open, the NotificationActivity is getting opened, but not when app is not already opened. Could someone please help me on resolving this?

Note: Please I am reiterating that NotificationActivity.class is not getting opened when clicked on notification when app is not already opened state.

Answer 1

I use this in my FirebaseMessagingService:

/**
 * Create and show a simple notification containing the received FCM message.
 *
 * @param messageBody FCM message body received.
 */
private void sendNotification(String title, String messageBody, String data) {
    Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
    intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
    PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0 /* Request code */, intent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

    Uri defaultSoundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
    NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = (NotificationCompat.Builder) new NotificationCompat.Builder(getApplicationContext())
            .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
            .setContentTitle(title)
            .setContentText(messageBody)
            .setAutoCancel(true)
            .setSound(defaultSoundUri)
            .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

    NotificationManager notificationManager =
            (NotificationManager) getSystemService(this.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

    notificationManager.notify(id++ /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());
}

Answer 2

Set your pending intent like below

Intent intent = new Intent(this.getApplicationContext(), NotificationActivity.class);
intent.putExtra("msgBody",messageBody);
intent.putExtra(Constants.NOTIF_INTENT_TYPE,Constants.NOTIF_INTENT_TYPE);

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent, 0);

add it to your notification using

.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

Answer 3

You can specify any Activity to be receiver for push notifications:

<intent-filter>
    <action android:name="PACKAGE_NAME.MESSAGE"/>
    <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
</intent-filter>

This intent filter for the activity specifies which activity will be launched in response to push notification (PACKAGE_NAME is your Android app package)

So you can add this intent filter in your Activity which you want to open on the click of Push notification.

Answer 4

You have to use FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT in pendingIntent.

PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, notificationId /* Request code */, intent,
            PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

and also pass the same id to notificationManager

 notificationManager.notify(notificationId /* ID of notification */, notificationBuilder.build());

Answer 5

Sorry not to add a comment as I'm a fairly new comer.

You can just do the following two things for further investigating:

1. After the notification has been created, use shell command "adb shell dumpsys activity i [your package name]" to see your notification in detail, to confirm it is really what you want. Remember to replace "[your package name]" with your own package name;

2. Tracking the event log during the time you are reproducing this using "adb logcat -v threadtime -b events".

Post both of these and we might get something useful about what is going wrong under the hood.

Answer 6

If you read the firebase docs in detail, there are two types of payloads

• Data payload
• Notification payload

The data payload triggers the onMessageReceived() callback when app is both foreground and background. This is not the case with notification payload, which triggers the callback in only foreground state. So, if you use the data payload this problem should be solved.
