Thanks @tomlin7 for the contribution! Before we can review this, it will need a test — see the repo's README file.

I believe the two questions above that were open now have answers:

So you should be able to proceed, incorporating those.

@chrisbobbe I have made the requested changes, please review again!

Quoting my comment #1349 (comment):

Following that discussion, yeah, we will need to put the new call inside an Android platform conditional.

You haven't done this in this revision; please do that. In logOutAccount, we should only call NotificationDisplayManager .removeNotificationsForAccount if the platform is Android.

Then as an optional, independent improvement, you could add a commit that does this:

Could be helpful to put asserts at the top of [NotificationDisplayManager's] public methods, checking the target platform is indeed Android — because that's basically an assumption the implementation is making

I see some added asserts, but this needs to be done in a separate commit. The current revision only has one commit.

@chrisbobbe I have implemented all the requested changes. Let me know if there are any further improvements needed.

Thanks! Comments below.

Also, have you tested this with an Android device or emulator?

@chrisbobbe I have tested this with an Android device (both debug and release).

Thanks! A few comments from a brief review—also, some tests are failing; please fix those.

@rajveermalviya, would you take a look at this and

check for any interactions with your upcoming notif ios: Handle opening of conversation on tap; take 2 #1379 which might mean something should be done differently here (as well as any other points that jump out at you);
do a round of manual testing to confirm this behaves correctly? (I think the implementation is already very close to what we'll merge; the more substantive comments above are on the tests.)

rajveermalviya

I tested the following cases and verified they work correctly:

The notifications being removed when logging-out of the account.
Receiving a notification from FCM but not displaying it when the account wasn't found in GlobalStore (simulating that the API call to unregisterToken failed, by commenting it out).

Also since this PR removes the notification by matching groupKey, it should also include the group summary notification and remove it, avoiding a lingering summary notification.

As for the interaction with #1379, apart from little conflicts, there shouldn't be anything that requires changing here, as this PR only checks for the notification group key (to find and remove notifications of the specific account) and there's no change in regarding to that in #1379. And for iOS this shouldn't matter for now (but remains unresolved), as we don't have a way to control displaying notifications there yet (#1265), and also because #1264 is only about Android.

Thanks @rajveermalviya! Sounds good.

Thanks for the revision! These tests look complete now. Comments below.

Thanks for the revision! This is very close now. Comments below.

Some of these comments are additional cases of things that I mentioned in the previous review. When you get code-review feedback on a PR, one key thing you can do to help keep the PR moving swiftly along to merge is to look for other places where the same comments would apply, and act on the feedback in those places too.

Thanks for the suggestions! It's improving my code quality significiantly. I made sure to run the suggestions through all changes made.

gnprice

Thanks for the revision! Just a few nits remain.

test/notifications/display_test.dart

The `_groupKey` method currently takes an `FcmMessageWithIdentity` object as an argument. However, this method only requires the realm URL and user ID from that object. This change modifies the method signature to directly accept `realmUrl` and `userId` as arguments. This change is made to facilitate calling `_groupKey` from contexts where an `FcmMessageWithIdentity` object is not available. Discussion: https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/channel/516-mobile-dev-help/topic/Removing.20notifications.20for.20logged.20out.20account/near/2088813

Fixes: zulip#1264 Notifications are ignored for accounts which were logged out but the request to stop receiving notifications failed due to some reason. Also when an account is logged out, any existing notifications for that account is removed from the UI.

…ethods NotificationDisplayManager's public methods only get invoked on Android, and their implementations basically assume the platform is Android. So, add these asserts, to make that assumption clearer and to fail early if we accidentally call one of these on iOS. When we eventually take more hands-on control of notifications on iOS, we might either adapt this class to support iOS too, or make a new class for iOS and make this one's name and interface clearer that it's Android-only.

All looks good — merging! Thanks again @tomlin7 for all your work on this.
