Android Question Firebase notification arrives only with app running

[Mike1970]

Hi everyone, i used this tutorials:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/integrating-firebase-services.67692/
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-messages-firebase-cloud-messaging-fcm.67716/

In the second one @Erel shows that he kills all the app in background and then he still receives messages..
I tried but i receive only if the app is open, someone can help me to find out what's wrong?

EDIT: I tried on others phone, it works, it's not working on Meizu m5c

In my app, it is still receiving msgs even I killed the app, I added this to activity_create event:

    StartService(FirebaseMessaging)
    StartService(Starter)

    StartService(FirebaseMessaging)
    StartService(Starter)

Tried now. It doesn't work..

I added this to activity_create event

You NEVER should start the starter service manually

Quote from the Starter Service Tutorial

The starter service should never be explicitly started.

@DonManfred Why?

 

[DonManfred]

I dont know. i just know that Erel wrote the above sentence in the tutorial. It must have a reason!

Hi don, do you have an idea why Firebase doesn’t work properly ?

 

[DonManfred]

Firebase doesn’t work properly

1. It works properly for me so i would not say Firebase isn´t working properly.
2. If i would have an idea i would have written something about.

The starter service is a special service. It will misbehave if started explicitly.

If the notifications only arrive when your app is running then you haven't implemented it properly.
Carefully follow the tutorial and make sure to use the B4J code to send the messages.

With that said, it is better not to kill the app while testing it. You can instead restart the device as a test.

I carefully followed the tutorial, infact the same code works on 2 devices out of 3.
The third was the first i was working with

(I tried to restart)

On some devices notifications will not work after the user explicitly kills the app. There is nothing that you can do about it.

If notifications works properly on most devices then it is likely that there is no problem in your app.
