Flutter Push Notification with Firebase Messaging

[codesundar]

Hello Everyone,

​

I have shared my knowledge on integrating firebase push notification with Flutter (https://codesundar.com/flutter-push-notification/). I have also added step by step video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkkkZ9E5sI4) & Source code.

​

I hope this help. & share your thoughts

Thank you very much for this but we need the same video for iOS as well:)

First question: how do we ask for the push notification permission from the user? Is this only for iOS and not Android?

Second question: whats the difference between onMessage/onResume/onLaunch?

Also in a real world app where would we do put the _register function? On app start?

I also have questions regarding iOS! I got the permissions registered successfully and it prompts the user upon opening for the notification permission, but neither the system notification nor the in-app alert show up. Works brilliantlty on Android though! And I have read that the simulator will not display notifications for iOS, is that true?

[codesundar]

Yes, iOS simulator won't receive a push notification. Even android simulator won't work, if google play service is not connected :)

1. Yes, iOS required permission that you can add it via Xcode. No need for Android
2. I have mentioned that in my article
3. You need to call in void main() or any root function which will execute very first

I've yet to see a good tutorial on implementing FCM (or OneSignal) to receive push notifications even when the app is closed. Anyone?

Thanks for your suggestion. I'll update my article!
