Firebase FCM force onTokenRefresh to be called

Question

I am migrating my app from GCM to FCM   When a new user installs my app  the onTokenRefresh   is automatically being called  The problem is that the user is not logged in yet  No user id    How can I trigger the onTokenRefresh   after the user is logged-in

Try to implement FirebaseInstanceIdService to get refresh token   Access the registration token   You can access the token s value by extending FirebaseInstanceIdService  Make sure you have added the service to your manifest  then call getToken in the context of onTokenRefresh  and log the value as shown         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       Full Code      import android util Log   import com google firebase iid FirebaseInstanceId  import com google firebase iid FirebaseInstanceIdService    public class MyFirebaseInstanceIDService extends FirebaseInstanceIdService        private static final String TAG    MyFirebaseIIDService                   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   Refreshed token      refreshedToken               TODO  Implement this method to send any registration to your app s servers          sendRegistrationToServer refreshedToken                 END refresh token                  Persist token to third-party servers                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            See my answer here   EDITS   You shouldn t be starting a FirebaseInstanceIdService yourself      It will Called when the system determines that the tokens need to be   refreshed  The application should call getToken   and send the tokens   to all application servers    This will not be called very frequently  it is needed for key rotation and to handle Instance ID changes due to    App deletes Instance ID  App is restored on a new device User uninstalls reinstall the app  User clears app data   The system will throttle the refresh event across all devices to avoid overloading application servers with token updates   Try below way      you d call FirebaseInstanceID getToken   anywhere off your main   thread  whether it is a service  AsyncTask  etc   store the returned   token locally and send it to your server  Then whenever   onTokenRefresh   is called  you d call   FirebaseInstanceID getToken   again  get a new token  and send that up to the server  probably including the old token as well so   your server can remove it  replacing it with the new one

How I update my deviceToken  First when I login I send the first device token under the user collection and the current logged in user   After that  I just override onNewToken token String  in my FirebaseMessagingService   and just update that value if a new token is generated for that user  class MyFirebaseMessagingService  FirebaseMessagingService         override fun onMessageReceived p0  RemoteMessage            super onMessageReceived p0             override fun onNewToken token  String        super onNewToken token      val currentUser  FirebaseAuth getInstance   currentUser  uid     if currentUser    null           FirebaseFirestore getInstance   collection  user   document currentUser  update  deviceToken  token                Each time your app opens it will check for a new token  if the user is not yet signed in it will not update the token  if the user is already logged in you can check for a newToken

FirebaseInstanceIdService      This class is deprecated    In favour of overriding onNewToken in FirebaseMessagingService  Once that has been implemented  this service can be safely removed    The new way to do this would be to override the onNewToken method from FirebaseMessagingService   public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService        Override     public void onNewToken String s            super onNewToken s           Log e  NEW TOKEN  s               Override     public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage            super onMessageReceived remoteMessage              Also dont forget to add the service in the Manifest xml   lt service     android name   MyFirebaseMessagingService      android stopWithTask  false  gt       lt intent-filter gt           lt action android name  com google firebase MESSAGING EVENT    gt       lt  intent-filter gt   lt  service gt

The onTokenRefresh   method is going to be called whenever a new token is generated  Upon app install  it will be generated immediately  as you have found to be the case   It will also be called when the token has changed   According to the FirebaseCloudMessaging guide       You can target notifications to a single  specific device  On initial   startup of your app  the FCM SDK generates a registration token for   the client app instance             Source Link    https   firebase google com docs notifications android console-device access the registration token   This means that the token registration is per app  It sounds like you would like to utilize the token after a user is logged in  What I would suggest is that you save the token in the onTokenRefresh   method to internal storage or shared preferences  Then  retrieve the token from storage after a user logs in and register the token with your server as needed   If you would like to manually force the onTokenRefresh    you can create an IntentService and delete the token instance  Then  when you call getToken  the onTokenRefresh   method will be called again   Example Code   public class DeleteTokenService extends IntentService       public static final String TAG   DeleteTokenService class getSimpleName         public DeleteTokenService                 super TAG               Override     protected void onHandleIntent Intent intent                try                          Check for current token             String originalToken   getTokenFromPrefs                Log d TAG   Token before deletion      originalToken                   Resets Instance ID and revokes all tokens              FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   deleteInstanceId                    Clear current saved token             saveTokenToPrefs                      Check for success of empty token             String tokenCheck   getTokenFromPrefs                Log d TAG   Token deleted  Proof      tokenCheck                   Now manually call onTokenRefresh               Log d TAG   Getting new token                FirebaseInstanceId getInstance   getToken                      catch  IOException e                        e printStackTrace                         private void saveTokenToPrefs String  token                   Access Shared Preferences         SharedPreferences preferences   PreferenceManager getDefaultSharedPreferences this           SharedPreferences Editor editor   preferences edit                Save to SharedPreferences         editor putString  registration id    token           editor apply               private String getTokenFromPrefs                 SharedPreferences preferences   PreferenceManager getDefaultSharedPreferences this           return preferences getString  registration id   null             EDIT     FirebaseInstanceIdService       public class FirebaseInstanceIdService extends Service       This class is deprecated  In favour of overriding   onNewToken in FirebaseMessagingService  Once that has been   implemented  this service can be safely removed    onTokenRefresh   is deprecated  Use onNewToken   in MyFirebaseMessagingService  public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService     Override public void onNewToken String s        super onNewToken s       Log e  NEW TOKEN  s           Override public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage        super onMessageReceived remoteMessage

Guys it has very simple solution  https   developers google com instance-id guides android-implementation generate a token  Note  If your app used tokens that were deleted by deleteInstanceID  your app will need to generate replacement tokens   In stead of deleting instance Id  delete only token   String authorizedEntity   PROJECT ID  String scope    GCM   InstanceID getInstance context  deleteToken authorizedEntity scope
