Firebase FCM notifications click action payload

Question

I am trying to open a particular activity when the user clicks the notification when the app is in the background  From the Docs  I have got that click action has to be added in the payload and an intent filter in the App to handle it  But  how to add click action in the Firebase Notifications via Firebase Console  I am open to any other Work Around too  Thanks in Advance

Now it is possible to set click action in Firebase Console  You just go to notifications-send message-advanced option and there you will have two fields for key and value  In first field you put click action and in second you put some text which represents value of that action  And you add intent-filter in your Manifest and give him the same value as you wrote in console  And that is simulation of real click action

As far as I can tell  at this point it is not possible to set click action in the console   While not a strict answer to how to get the click action set in the console  you can use curl as an alternative   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        This is an easy way to test click action mapping   It requires an intent filter like the one specified in the FCM docs    x000D   x000D   lt intent-filter gt  x000D     lt action android name  OPEN ACTIVITY 1    gt  x000D     lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT    gt  x000D   lt  intent-filter gt  x000D   x000D   x000D    This also makes use of topics to set the audience  In order for this to work you will need to subscribe to a topic called  news    FirebaseMessaging getInstance   subscribeToTopic  news      Even though it takes several hours to see a newly-created topic in the console  you may still send messages to it through the FCM apis   Also  keep in mind  this will only work if the app is in the background   If it is in the foreground you will need to implement an extension of FirebaseMessagingService   In the onMessageReceived method  you will need to manually navigate to your click action target        Override public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage          This will give you the topic string from curl request   topics news      Log d TAG   From      remoteMessage getFrom           This will give you the Text property in the curl request Sample Message        Log d TAG   Notification Message Body      remoteMessage getNotification   getBody           This is where you get your click action      Log d TAG   Notification Click Action      remoteMessage getNotification   getClickAction           put code here to navigate based on click action     As I said  at this time I cannot find a way to access notification payload properties through the console  but I thought this work around might be helpful

If your app is in background  Firebase will not trigger onMessageReceived    Why       I have no idea  In this situation  I do not see any point in implementing FirebaseMessagingService     According to docs  if you want to process background message arrival  you have to send  click action  with your message  But it is not possible if you send message from Firebase console  only via Firebase API   It means you will have to build your own  console  in order to enable marketing people to use it  So  this makes Firebase console also quite useless   There is really good  promising  idea behind this new tool  but executed badly    I suppose we will have to wait for new versions and improvements fixes

Well this is clear from firebase docs that your onMessageReceived will not work when app is in background   When your app is in background and click on your notification your default launcher will be launched  To launch your desired activity you need to specify click action in your notification payload    noti   array            icon    gt   new        title    gt   title        body    gt   new msg        click action    gt   your activity name comes here        And in your android manifest file  Add the following code where you registered your activity        lt activity                 android name  your activity name  gt                   lt intent-filter gt                       lt action android name  your activity name    gt                      lt category android name  android intent category DEFAULT   gt                  lt  intent-filter gt      lt  activity gt

You can handle all your actions in function of your message in onMessageReceived   in your service extending FirebaseMessagingService  In order to do that  you must send a message containing exclusively data  using for example Advanced REST client in Chrome  Then you send a POST to https   fcm googleapis com fcm send using in  Raw headers       Content-Type  application json   Authorization  key YOUR PERSONAL FIREBASE WEB API KEY   And a json message in the field  Raw payload    Warning  if there is the field  notification  in your json  your message will never be received when app in background in onMessageReceived    even if there is a data field   For example  doing that  message work just if app in foreground          condition      Symulti  in topics     SymultiLite  in topics        priority     normal        time to live    0       notification               body     new Symulti update              title     new Symulti update              icon     ic notif symulti              data               id    1           text     new Symulti update              In order to receive your message in all cases in onMessageReceived    simply remove the  notification  field from your json    Example          condition      Symulti  in topics     SymultiLite  in topics        priority     normal        time to live    0        data               id    1           text     new Symulti update              link     href   www symulti com            and in your FirebaseMessagingService    public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService        private static final String TAG    MyFirebaseMsgService         Override     public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage          String message             obj   remoteMessage getData   get  text          if  obj    null            try             message   obj toString              catch  Exception e              message                 e printStackTrace                             String link             obj   remoteMessage getData   get  link          if  obj    null            try             link    String  obj            catch  Exception e              link                 e printStackTrace                             Intent intent        PendingIntent pendingIntent        if  link equals           Simply run your activity         intent   new Intent this  MainActivity class           intent addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP           else      open a link         String url               if   link equals                  intent   new Intent Intent ACTION VIEW             intent setData Uri parse link              intent addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP                           pendingIntent   PendingIntent getActivity this  0    Request code     intent            PendingIntent FLAG ONE SHOT           NotificationCompat Builder notificationBuilder   null         try           notificationBuilder   new NotificationCompat Builder this               setSmallIcon R drawable ic notif symulti              don t need to pass icon with your message if it s already in your app                setContentTitle URLDecoder decode getString R string app name    UTF-8                 setContentText URLDecoder decode message   UTF-8                 setAutoCancel true               setSound RingtoneManager getDefaultUri RingtoneManager TYPE NOTIFICATION                setContentIntent pendingIntent             catch  UnsupportedEncodingException e              e printStackTrace                       if  notificationBuilder    null              NotificationManager notificationManager                  NotificationManager  getSystemService Context NOTIFICATION SERVICE             notificationManager notify id  notificationBuilder build               else             Log d TAG   error NotificationManager                                Enjoy

Update   So just to verify  it is not currently possible to set the click action parameter via the Firebase Console     So I ve been trying to do this in the Firebase Notifications Console with no luck  Since I can t seem to find anywhere to place the click action value in the console  what I mainly did to test this out is to add a custom key value pair in the Notification  Advance Options   Custom Data    Key  click action Value   lt your preferred value gt    then tried calling RemoteMessage getNotification   getClickAction   in onMessageReceived   to see if it was retrieving the correct value  but it always returns null  So next I tried calling RemoteMessage getData   get  lt  specified key    and was able to retrieve the value I added   NOTE  I am not entirely sure if that is okay to be used as a workaround  or if it s against best practice  I would suggest using your own app server but your post is specific to the Firebase Console   The way the client app and the notification behaves still depends on how you program it  With that said  I think you can use the above as a workaround  using the value retrieved from the getData    then having the Notification call this or that  Hope this helps somehow  Cheers   D

This falls into workaround category  containing some extra information too   Since the notifications are handled differently depending on the state of the app  foreground background not launched  I ve seen the best way to implement a helper class where the selected activity is launched based on the custom data sent in the notification message    when the app is on foreground use the helper class in onMessageReceived when the app is on background use the helper class for handling the intent in main activity s onNewIntent  check for specific custom data  when the app is not running use the helper class for handling the intent in main activity s onCreate  call getIntent for the intent     This way you do not need the click action or intent filter specific to it  Also you write the code just once and can reasonably easily start any activity   So the minimum custom data would look something like this   Key  run activity Value  com mypackage myactivity   And the code for handling it   if  intent hasExtra  run activity          handleFirebaseNotificationIntent intent       private void handleFirebaseNotificationIntent Intent intent       String className   intent getStringExtra  run activity        startSelectedActivity className  intent getExtras        private void startSelectedActivity String className  Bundle extras       Class cls      try           cls   Class forName className        catch ClassNotFoundException e                         Intent i   new Intent context  cls        if  i    null            i putExtras extras           this startActivity i              That is the code for the last two cases  startSelectedActivity would be called also from onMessageReceived  first case    The limitation is that all the data in the intent extras are strings  so you may need to handle that somehow in the activity itself  Also  this is simplified  you probably don t what to change the Activity View on an app that is on the foreground without warning your user

there is dual method for fcm fcm messaging notification and app notification in first your app reciever only message notification with body  title and you can add color  vibration not working sound default  in 2nd you can full control what happen when you recieve message example onMessageReciever RemoteMessage rMessage   notification setContentTitle rMessage getData   get  quot yourKey quot       you will recieve data with yourKey  but that not from fcm message that from fcm cloud functions reguard

If your app is in background  Firebase will not trigger onMessageReceived     onMessageReceived   is called when app is in foreground    When app is in background onMessageReceived   method will be called only if the body of https   fcm googleapis com fcm send contain only data payload Here  i just created a method to build custom notification with intent having ur your required activity   and called this method in onMessageRecevied      In PostMan   uri  https   fcm googleapis com fcm send   header Authorization key ur key  body ---        data             Nick     Mario          Room     PoSDenmark               to     xxxxxxxxx       in your application   class MyFirebaseMessagingService  extends FirebaseMessagingService     public void onMessageReceived RemoteMessage remoteMessage           if  remoteMessage getData   size    gt  0               sendNotification  ur message body                     private void sendNotification String messageBody            Intent intent   new Intent this  Main2Activity class           intent addFlags Intent FLAG ACTIVITY CLEAR TOP           PendingIntent pendingIntent   PendingIntent getActivity this  0    Request code     intent                  PendingIntent FLAG ONE SHOT            Uri defaultSoundUri  RingtoneManager getDefaultUri RingtoneManager TYPE NOTIFICATION           NotificationCompat Builder notificationBuilder   new NotificationCompat Builder this                   setSmallIcon R drawable ic stat ic notification                   setContentTitle  FCM Message                    setContentText messageBody                   setAutoCancel true                   setSound defaultSoundUri                   setContentIntent pendingIntent            NotificationManager notificationManager                    NotificationManager  getSystemService Context NOTIFICATION SERVICE            notificationManager notify 0    ID of notification     notificationBuilder build                 when the data payload comes to the mobile then onMessageReceived   method will be called   inside that method  i just made a custom notification  this will work even if ur app is background or foreground
