How to get the information from a notification when the app is closed

[rbalet]

I was wondering how we should configure the app to get the notification data when the app is closed before the user click on the notification.

I was thinking it would work with the following, but apparently not :/

FirebaseMessaging.addListener('notificationReceived', ({ notification }) => {
// Reading the value here
}

Kind regards

If the app is force-closed, then there is no option. If the app has only been pushed to the background and is configured correctly, then the notificationReceived listener will be called. Best search in the GitHub issues. The topic has already been discussed several times.

Here are the related issues I could find:

• Handling of notification when app is killed
• notificationReceived not fired when starting application

Note: Capacitor has the same issue (obviously):

• Dont receive Push notifications when app is killed

Also for the one who would be like me loosing himself in this topic.

Actually, if you wish to receive the information about the notification a user clicked one while the app is closed, just use notificationActionPerformed instead

FirebaseMessaging.addListener('notificationActionPerformed', ({ notification }) => {
// Reading the value here
}
