GcmListenerService.onMessageReceived not called #63

void99 · 2015-06-12T14:55:39Z

Maybe not a proper place to post (not a demo issue), but could not find answer elsewhere: when sending both "data" and "notification" keys as payload notification is displayed but onMessageReceived method is not called. The method is properly called when "notification" key is removed from payload. What could be the cause?

alibitek · 2015-06-13T16:31:05Z

Indeed, this seems to be the case. I've tested with a payload as follows:

send_queue.append({'to': REGISTRATION_ID,
                   'message_id': random_id(),
                   "notification" : {
                      "body" : "Hello from Server! What's going?",
                      "title" : "Hello from Server!",
                      "icon" : "@drawable/ic_school_white_48dp",
                      "sound": "default",
                      "color": "#03A9F4"
                    },
                   'data': { 'message': "Hello" } })

The notification is displayed by the system, but the onMessageReceived(String from, Bundle data) method of the GcmListenerService implemention doesn't get called

In AndroidManifest.xml MyGcmListenerService is defined as follows:

 <!-- [START gcm_listener] -->
        <service
            android:name="com.company.myapp.service.MyGcmListenerService"
            android:exported="false" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
        <!-- [END gcm_listener] -->

The server reference payload docs (https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/server#payload) says:
The app server can send a message including both notifications and data payloads. In such cases, GCM handles displaying the notification payload and the client app handles the data payload.

The "the client app handles the data payload" part doesn't work.
If I remove the notification key from the payload the method on the receiver is called.

alibitek · 2015-06-13T16:55:49Z

@void99

I think I found what's "the problem"

From https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/server#notifications_and_data_messages
"GCM will display the notification part on the client app’s behalf. When optional data is provided, it is sent to the client app once user clicks on the notification and opens the client app.
[...] On Android, data payload can be retrieved in the Intent used to launch your activity."

So, the data is passed in the intent used to launch the activity, once the user clicks on the notification.
This means you need to do the following:

Add a click_action to the notification key you send from the server:
e.g.

send_queue.append({'to': REGISTRATION_ID,
                   'message_id': random_id(),
                   "notification" : {
                      "body" : "Hello from Server! What is going on? Seems to work!!!",
                      "title" : "Hello from Server!",
                      "icon" : "@drawable/ic_school_white_48dp",
                      "sound": "default",
                      "color": "#03A9F4",
                      "click_action": "OPEN_MAIN_ACTIVITY"
                    },
                   'data': { 'message': "Hello" } })

See the reference for notification payload at: https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/server-ref#notification-payload-support

In AndroidManifest.xml add an intent filter on the activity you want to be opened once the user clicks on the notification, with the same action name you used on the "click_action" key on the server side
e.g.

         <activity
            android:name=".ui.MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/title_activity_main" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="OPEN_MAIN_ACTIVITY" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

Get the data from the intent on your onCreate() method or on onNewIntent() if you've set the launchMode to singleTop for the activity you want to launch when the notification is clicked.
e.g.

@Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Intent intent = getIntent();

        if (intent.hasExtra(Constants.KEY_MESSAGE_TXT)) {
            String message = intent.getStringExtra(Constants.KEY_MESSAGE_TXT);
            Log.d(TAG, message);
        }
}

I've tested this and can confirm that it works. (using XMPP connection)

void99 · 2015-06-14T08:57:19Z

Thanks for Your explanation. But imo the implementation is kind of awkward. If the user dismisses the notification, the data will never be passed to application. Or am i missing something?

alibitek · 2015-06-14T13:18:00Z

Yes, that's the downside of letting the system handle the notification.

ZakTaccardi · 2015-07-01T16:02:19Z

So what if I want the iOS app to use the notification payload, and the android app to use the data payload for displaying the notification? Seems like I am SoL.

Also, the notification icon is very limiting. On Lollipop, you cannot use a complex icon because it is automatically forced into a single color (makes the icon all white in my case. This doesn't seem right.

joelSimpson · 2015-07-02T18:29:30Z

I'm currently experiencing a consistent InternalServerError when trying to push a payload with the notification tag. I need this for my iOS app to display a banner notification when the app is in the background.

StephenStrickland · 2015-07-09T18:13:44Z

+1 having similar issues as well.

afjackman · 2015-07-15T21:27:49Z

@void99 Why is this closed? This problem pretty much makes it impossible to route iOS and Android traffic together through GCM if you want any processing to occur.

@joelSimpson and @StephenStrickland Make sure both body & title are set in the notification field. iOS doesn't use the title tag but it's required in order to send and may be the reason for this issue you're both having.

EDIT: Unfortunately, I'm now seeing the InternalServerError again. The above suggestion doesn't fix the problem.

wildseansy · 2016-01-20T08:02:00Z

Having the same problem as @ZakTaccardi trying to use Lollipop and support the same iOS notification body. This seems like it was overlooked.

pato89xd · 2016-01-25T07:30:12Z

hi, i have problems with the Constants.KEY_MESSAGE_TXT variable, it doesnt import

alibitek · 2016-01-25T12:17:54Z

@pato89xd You have to define that constant yourself. The above code is just an example, you have to adapt it for your own needs.

pato89xd · 2016-01-25T12:50:54Z

@mnemonicflow so there is no Constants class?

alibitek · 2016-01-25T12:58:55Z

@pato89xd You have to create it yourself.

pato89xd · 2016-01-25T13:24:07Z

@mnemonicflow sorry about that i'm new on android, I'm implementing this, thanks

macecchi · 2016-02-06T02:47:14Z

Is this being fixed? This bug makes it impossible to use GCM to both iOS and Android users.

apognu · 2016-02-12T10:50:52Z

We are having the exact same issue.

It would suck to have to manage two different sets of GCM registration files to manage Android and iOS.

Any news on the matter?

ogeidix · 2016-02-12T16:41:58Z

The current implementation doesn't allow to send a message that is simultaneously a display notification for ios and a silent notification for android.

I understand the issue and I appreciate your feedback.
We might be able to cover it in a future update, but I cannot promise an ETA on this.

jackdevco · 2016-02-18T09:45:01Z

Hi I am new to android ,I have added custom additional data so that when the user clicks the notification, it opens the data I entered. However, it does not open. Anyone have a solution or an idea of the error I'm receiving?

afarber · 2016-02-18T11:46:17Z

I have "an idea": show your source code.

In additional, when I have only data field (without notification) and "content_available": true, then GcmListenerService.onMessageReceived is not called. "content_available": true is needed for iOS, but it breaks data payload on Android. I removed "content_available": true on App Server for messages, which go to Android, and it is worked for me.

ogeidix · 2016-04-06T21:33:20Z

@KirillMakarov the issue you mentioned is being investigated in #178

jimmyFlash · 2016-06-11T11:33:40Z

i'm only using the data payload in my android app , because i want the application to handle creating notifications , not GCM , problem is that when app. is in background the "onMessageReceived " method is never triggered , i don't want to use both notification and data payloads and pass data when the user clicks the notification to my activity this seems too awkward , appreciate any suggestions

KirillMakarov · 2016-06-14T09:32:01Z

Can you post json which your app server post to gcm server for data notification?

yayah · 2016-06-14T15:39:52Z

Yes
