Flutterfire: Firebase Messaging is not clearing a notification tray

[kroikie]

Hello,
With firebase_messaging plugin, after receiving the notification if you open the app directly, instead of tapping on the notification (in a tray), the notification will stay there.

If you tap on the notification it will clear itself.

I was hoping that there would be a method to clear a system tray notification (or it will do it automatically).

firebase_messaging: ^2.1.0

flutter doctor -v.

Hi @arsen
If you are still experiencing this issue
with the latest version of Flutter and FlutterFire plugin
can you please provide your updated flutter doctor -v
and your and your flutter run --verbose/flutter build --verbose ?
Also, to better address the issue, would be helpful
if you could post a self contained app on github
or the steps to reproduce it.
Thank you

Without additional information, we are unfortunately not sure how to resolve this issue. We are therefore reluctantly going to close this bug for now. Please don't hesitate to comment on the bug if you have any more information for us; we will reopen it right away!
Thanks for your contribution.

Could everyone who still has this problem please file a new issue with the exact descriptions what happens, logs and the output of 'flutter doctor -v' please.
All system setups can be slightly different so its always better to open new issues and reference related issues.

I have this issue too. If I open the App directly from the App icon, the notification is not received. The notification is only received and removed when taped on the system tray.

flutter doctor -v

flutter run --verbose output is massive but says nothing important, when the app is opened directly, nothing happens, onMessage, onLaunch, onResume not called and the notification is still in system tray. But if i tap the notification, everything works as expected: onResume/onLaunch called and the notification is removed.

@mnesarco I resolved this issue on Android with adding these lines to onCreate method in MainActivity class, and on iOS should be similiar.

NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.cancelAll();

Import notification manager from; import android.app.NotificationManager;

[mnesarco]

@furkansarihan This is not a solution because the notification data never arrives to the app. This just eliminates the notification silently.

The expected behaviour is that if the user open the app directly, the onLaunch or onResume must be called with the data of the pending notifications.

[knissophiliac]

@furkansarihan It will lose other notifications data if we launch the app with one notification.
@iapicca I think this issue is not fixed in any way

I think it is wanted to have a solution to clear active notifications and get their informations.
flutter doctor -v
