To capture the message in background you need to use a BroadcastReceiver  import android content Context import android content Intent import android util Log import androidx legacy content WakefulBroadcastReceiver import com google firebase messaging RemoteMessage  class FirebaseBroadcastReceiver   WakefulBroadcastReceiver          val TAG  String   FirebaseBroadcastReceiver  class java simpleName      override fun onReceive context  Context  intent  Intent             val dataBundle   intent extras         if  dataBundle    null              for  key in dataBundle keySet                      Log d TAG   dataBundle      key           dataBundle get key                         val remoteMessage   RemoteMessage dataBundle                    and add this to your manifest    lt receiver       android name  MY PACKAGE NAME FirebaseBroadcastReceiver        android exported  true        android permission  com google android c2dm permission SEND  gt           lt intent-filter gt               lt action android name  com google android c2dm intent RECEIVE    gt           lt  intent-filter gt   lt  receiver gt

According to docs     Handle messages in a backgrounded app      When your app is in the background  Android directs notification   messages to the system tray  A user tap on the notification opens the   app launcher by default       This includes messages that contain both notification and data   payload  In these cases  the notification is delivered to the device s   system tray  and the data payload is delivered in the extras of the   intent of your launcher Activity       If you want to open your app and perform a specific action  set   click action in the notification payload and map it to an intent   filter in the Activity you want to launch  For example  set   click action to OPEN ACTIVITY 1 to trigger an intent filter like the   following      lt intent-filter gt     lt action android name  OPEN ACTIVITY 1    gt      lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT    gt    lt  intent-filter gt    Edit    Based on this thread     You can t set click action payload using Firebase Console  You could try testing with a curl command or a custom http server  curl --header  Authorization  key  lt YOUR KEY GOES HERE gt         --header Content-Type  application json  https   fcm googleapis com fcm send        -d     to      topics news     notification                 title      Click Action Message     text      Sample message                  click action     OPEN ACTIVITY 1

Working as of July 2019  Android compileSdkVersion 28   buildToolsVersion 28 0 3  and  firebase-messaging 19 0 1  After many many hours of researching through all of the other StackOverflow questions and answers  and trying innumerable outdated solutions  this solution managed to show notifications in these 3 scenarios   - App is in foreground       the notification is received by the onMessageReceived method at my MyFirebaseMessagingService class  - App has been killed  it is not running in background        the notification is sent to the notification tray automatically by FCM  When the user touches the notification the app is launched by calling the activity that has android intent category LAUNCHER in the manifest  You can get the data part of the notification by using getIntent   getExtras   at the onCreate   method   - App is in background       the notification is sent to the notification tray automatically by FCM  When the user touches the notification the app is brought to the foreground by launching the activity that has android intent category LAUNCHER in the manifest  As my app has launchMode  singleTop  in that activity  the onCreate   method is not called because one activity of the same class is already created  instead the onNewIntent   method of that class is called and you get the data part of the notification there by using intent getExtras     Steps  1- If you define your app s main activity like this    lt activity     android name   MainActivity      android label   string app name      android largeHeap  true      android screenOrientation  portrait      android launchMode  singleTop  gt       lt intent-filter gt           lt action android name   MainActivity    gt           lt action android name  android intent action MAIN    gt           lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt           lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT    gt       lt  intent-filter gt   lt  activity gt    2- add these lines at the onCreate   method of your MainActivity class  Intent i   getIntent    Bundle extras   i getExtras    if  extras    null        for  String key   extras keySet              Object value   extras get key           Log d Application APPTAG   Extras received at onCreate   Key      key     Value      value             String title   extras getString  title        String message   extras getString  body        if  message  null  amp  amp  message length   gt 0            getIntent   removeExtra  body            showNotificationInADialog title  message             and these methods to the same MainActivity class    Override public void onNewIntent Intent intent         called when a new intent for this class is created         The main case is when the app was in background  a notification arrives to the tray  and the user touches the notification      super onNewIntent intent        Log d Application APPTAG   onNewIntent -

To make firebase library to call your onMessageReceived   in the following cases  App in foreground App in background App has been killed  you must not put JSON key  notification  in your request to firebase API but instead use  data   see below  The following message will not call your onMessageReceived   when your app is in the background or killed  and you can t customize your notification        quot to quot    quot  topics journal quot       quot notification quot             quot title quot     quot title quot           quot text quot    quot data  quot           quot icon quot    quot ic notification quot           but instead using this will work      quot to quot    quot  topics dev journal quot       quot data quot             quot text quot   quot text quot           quot title quot   quot  quot           quot line1 quot   quot Journal quot           quot line2 quot   quot    quot           Basically  the message is sent in the argument RemoteMessage along with your data object as Map lt String  String gt   then you can manage the notification in onMessageReceived as in the snippet here  Override public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage          Map lt String  String gt  data   remoteMessage getData            you can get your text message here       String text  data get  quot text quot           NotificationCompat Builder notificationBuilder   new NotificationCompat Builder this             optional  this is to make beautiful icon               setLargeIcon BitmapFactory decodeResource                                      getResources    R mipmap ic launcher              setSmallIcon smallIcon     mandatory                     You can read more on notification here      https   developer android com training notify-user build-notification html     https   www youtube com watch v -iog fmm6mE

Remove notification payload completely from your server request  Send only data and handle it in onMessageReceived    otherwise your onMessageReceived will not be triggered when the app is in background or killed   Here is what I am sending from server        data         id   1       missedRequests   5      addAnyDataHere   123         to    fhiT7evmZk8 APA91bFJq7Tkly4BtLRXdYvqHno2vHCRkzpJT8QZy0TlIGs            So you can receive your data in onMessageReceived RemoteMessage message  like this   let s say I have to get the id   Object obj   message getData   get  id            if  obj    null                int id   Integer valueOf obj toString                 And similarly you can get any data which you have sent from server within onMessageReceived

I feel like all the responses are incomplete but all of them have something that you need to process a notification that have data when your app is in background   Follow these steps and you will be able to process your notifications when your app is in background   1 Add an intent-filter like this    lt activity android name   MainActivity  gt         lt intent-filter gt              lt action android name   MainActivity    gt              lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT    gt         lt  intent-filter gt   lt  activity gt    to an activity that you want to process the notification data    Send notifications with the next format        notification               click action      MainActivity             body     new Symulti update               title     new Symulti update               icon     ic notif symulti        data              to     c9Vaa3ReGdk APA91bH-AuXgg3lDN2WMcBrNhJZoFtYF9       The key here is add    click action      MainActivity    where  MainActivity is the activity with the intent-filter that you added in step 1    Get  data  info from notification in the onCreate of   MainActivity    protected void onCreate Bundle savedInstanceState        super onCreate savedInstanceState       setContentView R layout activity main         get notification data info     Bundle bundle   getIntent   getExtras        if  bundle    null             bundle must contain all info sent in  data  field of the notification            And that should be all you need to do  I hope this helps somebody

Since the display-messages which are sent from Firebase Notification UI only works if your app is in foreground  For data-messages  there is a need to make a POST call to FCM  Steps   Install Advanced Rest Client Google Chrome Extension   Add the following headers   Key  Content-Type  Value  application json  Key  Authorization  Value  key  your server key   Add the body   If using topics           to      topics topic name        data          key1     value1        key2     value2            If using registration id           registration ids        id    id1          data          key1     value1        key2     value2                  Thats it   Now listen to onMessageReceived callback as usual    Override public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage          Map lt String  String gt  data   remoteMessage getData         String value1   data get  key1         String value2   data get  key2

I figured out the scenarios   When app is in foreground  onMessageReceived   method is called from the FirebaseService So the pendingIntent defined in the service class will be called   And when app is in background  first activity is called   Now  if you use a splash activity  then must keep in mind the splashactivity will be called  else if there is no splashActivity  then whatever the first activity is  will be called   Then you need to check getIntent   of the firstActivity to see if it has any bundle  if everything is alright you will see bundle is there with values filled in  If the value in data tag sent from server looks like this     data          user name    arefin sajib        value    user name notification        Then in the first activity  you will see  there is a valid intent  getIntent   is not null    valid bundle and inside bundle   there will the whole JSON mentioned above with data  as key   For this scenario  code for extraction of value will look like this       if getIntent    null               Bundle bundle   getIntent   getExtras                if  bundle    null                    try                      JSONObject object   new JSONObject bundle getStringExtra  data     String user name   object optString  user name                       catch  JSONException e                        e printStackTrace

According to the firebase documentation in send downstream using firebase  there is 2 type of payload     data     This parameter specifies the custom key-value pairs of the message s payload    Client app is responsible for processing data messages  Data messages have only custom key-value pairs   notification     This parameter specifies the predefined  user-visible key-value pairs of the notification payload  FCM automatically displays the message to end-user devices on behalf of the client app  Notification messages have a predefined set of user-visible keys     When you are in the foreground you can get the data inside FCM using onMessageReceived    you can get your data from data payload   data   remoteMessage getData    String customData    String  data get  customData      When you are in background  FCM will showing notification in system tray based on the info from notification payload  Title  message  and icon which used for the notification on system tray are get from the notification payload        notification              title     title            body      body text            icon      ic notification            click action     OPEN ACTIVITY 1               This notification payload are used when you want to automactically showing notification on the system tray when your app is in the background  To get notification data when your app in the background  you should add click action inside notification payload      If you want to open your app and perform a specific action  while backgrounded   set click action in the notification payload and map it to an intent filter in the Activity you want to launch  For example  set click action to OPEN ACTIVITY 1 to trigger an intent filter like the following     lt intent-filter gt     lt action android name  OPEN ACTIVITY 1    gt     lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT    gt   lt  intent-filter gt    Put that intent-filter on your manifest  inside one of your activity tag  When you click the notification  it will open the app and go straight to activity that you define in click action  in this case  OPEN ACTIVTY 1   And inside that activity you can get the data by    Bundle b   getIntent   getExtras    String someData   b getString  someData      I m using FCM for my android app and use both of the payload  Here is the example JSON i m using         to    FCM registration ID      notification          title     title        body      body text        icon      ic notification        click action     OPEN ACTIVITY 1            data           someData      This is some data         someData2     etc

Here is more clear concepts about firebase message  I found it from their support team  Firebase has three message types  Notification messages   Notification message works on background or foreground  When app is in background  Notification messages are delivered to the system tray  If the app is in the foreground  messages are handled by onMessageReceived   or didReceiveRemoteNotification callbacks  These are essentially what is referred to as Display messages  Data messages  On Android platform  data message can work on background and foreground  The data message will be handled by onMessageReceived    A platform specific note here would be  On Android  the data payload can be retrieved in the Intent used to launch your activity  To elaborate  if you have  quot click action quot   quot launch Activity 1 quot   you can retrieve this intent through getIntent   from only Activity 1  Messages with both notification and data payloads  When in the background  apps receive the notification payload in the notification tray  and only handle the data payload when the user taps on the notification  When in the foreground  your app receives a message object with both payloads available  Secondly  the click action parameter is often used in notification payload and not in data payload  If used inside data payload  this parameter would be treated as custom key-value pair and therefore you would need to implement custom logic for it to work as intended  Also  I recommend you to use onMessageReceived method  see Data message  to extract the data bundle  From your logic  I checked the bundle object and haven t found expected data content  Here is a reference to a similar case which might provide more clarity  For more info visit my this thread

In addition to above answers   If you are testing push notifications using FCM console   data  key and object is not added to Push Notification bundle  So you will not receive detailed push notification when App is background or killed   In this case you have to opt for your back end admin console to test App background scenario   Here  you will have added  data  key to your push bundle  so  detailed push will be shown as expected  Hope this helps few

According to the docs   May 17  2017     When your app is in the background  Android   directs notification messages to the system tray  A user tap on the   notification opens the app launcher by default       This includes messages that contain both notification and data payload    and all messages sent from the Notifications console   In these   cases  the notification is delivered to the device s system tray  and   the data payload is delivered in the extras of the intent of your   launcher Activity    So you should use both of the payload notification   data        to    FCM registration ID      notification          title     title        body      body text        icon      ic notification            data           someData      This is some data         someData2     etc           There is no need to use click action You should just get exras from intent on LAUNCHER activity     lt activity android name   MainActivity  gt           lt intent-filter gt               lt category android name  android intent category LAUNCHER    gt           lt  intent-filter gt   lt  activity gt    Java code should be on onCreate method on MainActivity    Intent intent   getIntent    if  intent    null  amp  amp  intent getExtras      null        Bundle extras   intent getExtras        String someData  extras getString  someData        String someData2   extras getString  someData2        You can test  both of the payload notification   data from Firebase Notifications Console   Don t forget to fill custom data fields on Advanced options section

Since 2019  Google Firebase has a big change in their APIs I mean     com google firebase firebase-messaging 18 0 0   in 18 0 0 they removed MyFirebaseInstanceIDService and you need to get token in MyFirebaseMessagingService so you just need to write     Override public void onNewToken String token        Log d TAG   Refreshed token      token        and also in your AndroidManifest xml  you have to remove     lt service android name   service MyFirebaseInstanceIDService  gt           lt intent-filter gt               lt action android name  com google firebase INSTANCE ID EVENT    gt           lt  intent-filter gt       lt  service gt    Also  you re recommended to set default values to customize the appearance of notifications  You can specify a custom default icon and a custom default color that are applied whenever equivalent values are not set in the notification payload   Add these lines inside the application tag to set the custom default icon and custom color        lt meta-data         android name  com google firebase messaging default notification icon          android resource   drawable ic notification    gt        lt meta-data         android name  com google firebase messaging default notification color          android resource   color colorAccent    gt        lt meta-data         android name  com google firebase messaging default notification channel id          android value   string push channel    gt    now to handle notification messages in a backgrounded app you should define an Intent in your first Activity even if it is SplashScreen  When your app is in the background  Android directs notification messages to the system tray  A user tap on the notification opens the app launcher by default   for example  if your Json is like this     data      message    2    title    1    pushType     banner    bannerLink    http   www google com    image     https   www google com images branding googlelogo 1x googlelogo color 272x92dp png     you just need to write a simple intent to get those values           Bundle extras   intent getExtras            String bannerLink   extras getString  bannerLink                        String channelId   extras getString  channelId
