Firebase FCM how to get token

Question

It s my first time using FCM  I download a sample from firebase quickstart-android and I install the FCM Quickstart  But I can t get any token from the log even hit the LOG TOKEN button in the app  Then I try to send a message with Firebase console and set to target my app package name  I got incoming messages  I want to know can FCM be used GCM everything is ok  Solution  Because I am not an Android developer  just a backend developer  So it takes me some time to solve it  In my opinion  there re some bugs in the sample app   Code  RegistrationIntentService java public class RegistrationIntentService extends IntentService        private static final String TAG    quot RegIntentService quot         public RegistrationIntentService             super TAG               Override     protected void onHandleIntent Intent intent            String token   FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getToken            Log i TAG   quot FCM Registration Token   quot    token            MyFirebaseInstanceIDService java public class MyFirebaseInstanceIDService extends FirebaseInstanceIdService        private static final String TAG    quot MyFirebaseIIDService quot                   Called if InstanceID token is updated  This may occur if the security of        the previous token had been compromised  Note that this is called when the InstanceID token        is initially generated so this is where you would retrieve the token                  START refresh token       Override     public void onTokenRefresh                Get updated InstanceID token            String refreshedToken   FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getToken              Log d TAG   quot Refreshed token   quot    refreshedToken                   TODO  Implement this method to send any registration to your app s servers            sendRegistrationToServer refreshedToken              Intent intent   new Intent this  RegistrationIntentService class           startService intent                 END refresh token                  Persist token to third-party servers          lt p gt         Modify this method to associate the user s FCM InstanceID token with any server-side account        maintained by your application                 param token The new token              private void sendRegistrationToServer String token               Add custom implementation  as needed           Add this in the MainActivity java   Intent intent   new Intent this  RegistrationIntentService class           startService intent    After do above you get the Token in Logcat  But finally  I find a convenient way to get it Just use debug mode to install the sample app and you can get the token when you first time to install it  But I don t know why it can t print the log when I install it  Maybe be related to the mobile system  And then why I can t get the Notification  FirebaseMessagingService onMessageReceived did not call sendNotification

If are using some auth function of firebase  you can take token using this     ------GET USER TOKEN------- FirebaseUser mUser   FirebaseAuth getInstance   getCurrentUser    mUser getToken true           addOnCompleteListener new OnCompleteListener lt GetTokenResult gt                  public void onComplete  NonNull Task lt GetTokenResult gt  task                    if  task isSuccessful                          String idToken   task getResult   getToken                                                                               Work well if user are logged  getCurrentUser

In firebase-messaging 17 1 0 and newer the FirebaseInstanceIdService is deprecated  you can get the onNewToken on the FirebaseMessagingService class as explained on https   stackoverflow com a 51475096 1351469  But if you want to just get the token any time  then now you can do it like this   FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getInstanceId   addOnSuccessListener  this getActivity     new OnSuccessListener lt InstanceIdResult gt         Override   public void onSuccess InstanceIdResult instanceIdResult        String newToken   instanceIdResult getToken        Log e  newToken  newToken

Instead of this           START refresh token       Override     public void onTokenRefresh               Get updated InstanceID token            String refreshedToken   FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getToken              Log d TAG   Refreshed token      refreshedToken                TODO  Implement this method to send any registration to your app s servers            sendRegistrationToServer refreshedToken              Intent intent   new Intent this  RegistrationIntentService class           startService intent                 END refresh token    Do this           START refresh token       Override     public void onTokenRefresh                Get updated InstanceID token          String refreshedToken   FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getToken              Log d TAG   Refreshed token      refreshedToken               Implement this method to send token to your app s server        sendRegistrationToServer refreshedToken                  END refresh token    And one more thing      You need to call sendRegistrationToServer   method   which will update token on server  if you are sending push   notifications from server    UPDATE   New Firebase token is generated  onTokenRefresh   is called  when    The app deletes Instance ID The app is restored on a new device The user uninstalls reinstall the app The user clears app data

FirebaseInstanceId class and it s method getInstanceId are also deprecated  So you have to use FirebaseMessaging class and it s getToken method instead  FirebaseMessaging getInstance   getToken   addOnSuccessListener token - gt            if   TextUtils isEmpty token                 Log d TAG   quot retrieve token successful    quot    token             else              Log w TAG   quot token should not be null    quot                     addOnFailureListener e - gt              handle e        addOnCanceledListener    - gt              handle cancel        addOnCompleteListener task - gt  Log v TAG   quot This is the token    quot    task getResult        The method getToken   is deprecated  You can use getInstanceId   instead  If you want to handle results when requesting instanceId token   check this code  FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getInstanceId   addOnSuccessListener instanceIdResult - gt            if  instanceIdResult    null                String token   instanceIdResult getToken                if   TextUtils isEmpty token                     Log d TAG   quot retrieve token successful    quot    token                           else              Log w TAG   quot instanceIdResult should not be null   quot                     addOnFailureListener e - gt              do something with e        addOnCanceledListener    - gt              request has canceled        addOnCompleteListener task - gt  Log v TAG   quot task result    quot    task getResult   getToken

You can use these 2  methods  to get device token with firebase but the second one method is more efficient way   FirebaseInstallations getInstance   getToken false  addOnCompleteListener new OnCompleteListener lt InstallationTokenResult gt               Override         public void onComplete  NonNull Task lt InstallationTokenResult gt  task                if  task isSuccessful                     return                               Get new Instance ID token             DeviceToken   task getResult   getToken                        Second method   you  can also use this one  FirebaseMessaging getInstance   getToken   addOnCompleteListener new OnCompleteListener lt String gt               Override         public void onComplete  NonNull Task lt String gt  task                DeviceToken  task getResult

The team behind Firebase Android SDK change API a little bit  I ve implemented  quot Token to Server quot  logic like this  In my instance of FirebaseMessagingService  public class FirebaseCloudMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService                  Override     public void onNewToken String token               sending token to server here                    Keep in mind that token is per device  and it can be updated by Firebase regardless of your login logic  So  if you have Login and Logout functionality  you have to consider extra cases   When a new user logs in  you need to bind token to the new user  send it to the server   Because token might be updated during the session of old user and server doesn t know token of the new user  When the user logs out  you need to unbind token  Because user should not receive notifications messages anymore   Using new API  you can get token like this  FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getInstanceId   addOnSuccessListener new OnSuccessListener lt InstanceIdResult gt               Override         public void onSuccess InstanceIdResult instanceIdResult                String token   instanceIdResult getToken                   send it to server                     Good luck

FASTEST AND GOOD FOR PROTOTYPE The quick solution is to store it in sharedPrefs and add this logic to onCreate method in your MainActivity or class which is extending Application  FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getInstanceId   addOnSuccessListener this  instanceIdResult - gt        String newToken   instanceIdResult getToken        Log e  quot newToken quot   newToken       getActivity   getPreferences Context MODE PRIVATE  edit   putString  quot fb quot   newToken  apply         Log d  quot newToken quot   getActivity   getPreferences Context MODE PRIVATE  getString  quot fb quot    quot empty    quot      CLEANER WAY A better option is to create a service and keep inside a similar logic  Firstly create new Service public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService         Override     public void onNewToken String s            super onNewToken s           Log e  quot newToken quot   s           getSharedPreferences  quot   quot   MODE PRIVATE  edit   putString  quot fb quot   s  apply                Override     public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage            super onMessageReceived remoteMessage              public static String getToken Context context            return context getSharedPreferences  quot   quot   MODE PRIVATE  getString  quot fb quot    quot empty quot             And then add it to AndroidManifest file  lt service         android name  quot  MyFirebaseMessagingService quot          android stopWithTask  quot false quot  gt           lt intent-filter gt               lt action android name  quot com google firebase MESSAGING EVENT quot    gt           lt  intent-filter gt   lt  service gt   Finally  you are able to use a static method from your Service MyFirebaseMessagingService getToken Context   THE FASTEST BUT DEPRECATED Log d  quot Firebase quot    quot token  quot   FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getToken      It s still working when you are using older firebase library than version 17 x x

According to doc  Migrate a GCM client app to FCM   onTokenRefresh        only Called if InstanceID token is updated   So it will call only at first time when you install an app to your device   So I suggest please uninstall your app manually and try to run again   definitely you will get TOKEN
