Step-by-step guide to setup FCM Push notifications in flutter android app.
Example integration project can be found here.
Create a Firebase project in the firebase console
To start sending notifications from FCM, you’ll have to first create a firebase project. Create a firebase project and application in firebase console with your applications package name which you can find in AndroidManifest.xml
Adding google-services.json to your project
You can get your Service Account JSON from Firebase Console Project Settings. Download google-services.json and add the file inside your android > app folder.
Adding Firebase dependencies and plugins
3.1. Add the below dependency inside projects build.gradle
inside dependencies
3.2. Add the below plugin inside the app build.gradle
3.3 Add the below dependency inside apps build.gradle
inside dependencies
Implementing push
Push feature can be implemented in two ways:
Token Generation and Notification handled By SDK [Recommended]
You may use this option if all of your android push notifications are to be handled via SuprSend SDK. We recommend you use this method as it is just a single-step process to just register the service in your application manifest and everything else will be ready.
Token Generation and Notification handled By Your Application
Once you get a token from Firebase you can pass the token by using the below code
When you get a push notification you will get a payload and it can be passed to the method provided by Suprsend Flutter SDK and the notification displaying part will be handled by SDK.
If notification payload contains key supr_send_n_pl then simply consider this as payload sent from suprsend and pass the payload to suprsend sdk.
In Android13 (API 33) or higher notification permission will be disabled by default so permission needs to be asked to enable notifications if you are targeting android 13 users. You can follow this doc to update to support Andriod 13(API 33), if not already supported. Please test the application as well as upgrading to API 33 may causes breaking changes.
Add POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission in AndroidManifest.xml if not present already.
Ask notification permission to show push notifications
You can use permission_handler or any other package to ask notification permission to user.
From v2.4.0, we have removed internal method to ask notification permission (suprsend.askNotificationPermission
). You can use external package to ask notification permission.
Once notification permission is granted, users can be able to see push notifications.
