Receiving notification sound only when I disable notification from setting

Question

I have an application that receive notification from firebase console also from php, but I have a problem, that when I disabled notification from settings , then I still receive only sound of notification. I found the code that causes this: I add a two lines of code to receive the notification when the app is open(inforeground) it works and I received notification when app is in foreground and I need it in my app. But it causes the problem I mentioned above, so can any one help me to make app receive notification when its open and without causing this problem?

Here's the code I add in the MyFirebaseMessagingService:

Intent resultIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
showNotificationMessage(getApplicationContext(), title, message, timestamp, resultIntent);

And here is the complete code of MyFirebaseMessagingService (by the way I am sending the notification from php)

public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {
private static final String TAG = MyFirebaseMessagingService.class.getSimpleName();

private NotificationUtils notificationUtils;

@Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
    Log.e(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());





    if (remoteMessage == null)
        return;

    // Check if message contains a notification payload.
    if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
        handleNotification(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
    }

    // Check if message contains a data payload.
    if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Data Payload: " + remoteMessage.getData().toString());

        try {
            JSONObject json = new JSONObject(remoteMessage.getData().toString());
            handleDataMessage(json);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

private void handleNotification(String message) {
    if (!NotificationUtils.isAppIsInBackground(getApplicationContext())) {
        // app is in foreground, broadcast the push message
        Intent pushNotification = new Intent(Config.PUSH_NOTIFICATION);
        pushNotification.putExtra("message", message);
        LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(pushNotification);

        //added code(1) by me to try receiving the notification when App in open:




        //end Code(1)
        // play notification sound
        NotificationUtils notificationUtils = new NotificationUtils(getApplicationContext());
        notificationUtils.playNotificationSound();
    }else{
        // If the app is in background, firebase itself handles the notification
    }
}

private void handleDataMessage(JSONObject json) {
    Log.e(TAG, "push json: " + json.toString());

    try {
        JSONObject data = json.getJSONObject("data");

        String title = data.getString("title");
        String message = data.getString("message");
        boolean isBackground = data.getBoolean("is_background");
        String imageUrl = data.getString("image");
        String timestamp = data.getString("timestamp");
        JSONObject payload = data.getJSONObject("payload");

        Log.e(TAG, "title: " + title);
        Log.e(TAG, "message: " + message);
        Log.e(TAG, "isBackground: " + isBackground);
        Log.e(TAG, "payload: " + payload.toString());
        Log.e(TAG, "imageUrl: " + imageUrl);
        Log.e(TAG, "timestamp: " + timestamp);




            if (!NotificationUtils.isAppIsInBackground(getApplicationContext())) {
            // app is in foreground, broadcast the push message
            Intent pushNotification = new Intent(Config.PUSH_NOTIFICATION);
            pushNotification.putExtra("message", message);
            LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(pushNotification);

            // added code(2) trying receive notification when app is open
            Intent resultIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
            showNotificationMessage(getApplicationContext(), title, message, timestamp, resultIntent);





            //end (code(2)


            // play notification sound
            //NotificationUtils notificationUtils = new NotificationUtils(getApplicationContext());
           // notificationUtils.playNotificationSound();
        } else {
            // app is in background, show the notification in notification tray
            Intent resultIntent = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
            resultIntent.putExtra("message", message);

            // check for image attachment
            if (TextUtils.isEmpty(imageUrl)) {
                showNotificationMessage(getApplicationContext(), title, message, timestamp, resultIntent);
            } else {
                // image is present, show notification with image
                showNotificationMessageWithBigImage(getApplicationContext(), title, message, timestamp, resultIntent, imageUrl);
            }
        }
    } catch (JSONException e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Json Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}


 // Showing notification with text only

private void showNotificationMessage(Context context, String title, String message, String timeStamp, Intent intent) {
    notificationUtils = new NotificationUtils(context);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
    notificationUtils.showNotificationMessage(title, message, timeStamp, intent);
}


// Showing notification with text and image

private void showNotificationMessageWithBigImage(Context context, String title, String message, String timeStamp, Intent intent, String imageUrl) {
    notificationUtils = new NotificationUtils(context);
    intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TASK);
    notificationUtils.showNotificationMessage(title, message, timeStamp, intent, imageUrl);
}

1. When your app is in foreground state, below lines of codes will be executed:

// Check if message contains a notification payload.
if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Notification Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
    handleNotification(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
}

To disable notification sound, update handleNotification() method as below:

private void handleNotification(String message) {
    if (!NotificationUtils.isAppIsInBackground(getApplicationContext())) {
        // app is in foreground, broadcast the push message
        Intent pushNotification = new Intent(Config.PUSH_NOTIFICATION);
        pushNotification.putExtra("message", message);
        LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(pushNotification);

    }
}

2. When your app is in background state, below lines of codes will be executed:

// Check if message contains a data payload.
if (remoteMessage.getData().size() > 0) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Data Payload: " + remoteMessage.getData().toString());

    try {
        JSONObject json = new JSONObject(remoteMessage.getData().toString());
        handleDataMessage(json);
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e(TAG, "Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    }
}

To disable notification sound, remove below lines from handleDataMessage() method:

// play notification sound
NotificationUtils notificationUtils = new NotificationUtils(getApplicationContext());
notificationUtils.playNotificationSound();

FYI, If you are managing notification settings from your app, then use the respective preference key to get the value of notification settings and add condition to play notification sound.

Hope this will help~
