Flutter：使用 FCM 在前台运行时，flutter_local_notifications 不起作用

Question

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:

    );

    final token = await fcm.getToken();
    Logger.d("Token FCM: $token");

    ...
  }

}

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 ?

Answer 1

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>
