Hi all,
I had the same issue with Application.java and was able to solve this by changing _AndroidManifest.xml_ from:

        </activity>
        <!-- Don't delete the meta-data below.
             This is used by the Flutter tool to generate GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"
            android:value="2" />

to:

        </activity>
        <!-- Don't delete the meta-data below.
             This is used by the Flutter tool to generate GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="flutterEmbedding"
            android:value="1" />

I tried but it doesn't solve. I had to back to activity V1.

[daadu]

There is a workaround mentioned in: #1613

Replace:

 override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry?) {
        GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(registry) //Error thrown here
    }

To:

    override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry?) {
  io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin.registerWith(registry?.registrarFor("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin"));
    }

Also temporary downgrade firebase_messaging to 5.1.6

  firebase_messaging: ^5.1.6

The build crash is solved. Don't know if "background messaging" works. If someone can confirm that?

[idevol]

I had the same problem in Application.kt:

package com.application.customerApplication

import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry.PluginRegistrantCallback
import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant
import io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FlutterFirebaseMessagingService

class Application : FlutterApplication(), PluginRegistrantCallback {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        FlutterFirebaseMessagingService.setPluginRegistrant(this)
    }

    override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry) {
        GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(registry)
    }
}

To solve the problem I now use in Application.tk:

package com.application.customerApplication

import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry.PluginRegistrantCallback
import io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FlutterFirebaseMessagingService

class Application : FlutterApplication(), PluginRegistrantCallback {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        FlutterFirebaseMessagingService.setPluginRegistrant(this);
    }

    override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry?) {
        registry?.registrarFor("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin");
    }
}

I found this solution in here.

But there are still problems in background notifications, like:

E/flutter (22439): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(157)] Unhandled Exception: MissingPluginException(No implementation found for method FcmDartService#initialized on channel plugins.flutter.io/firebase_messaging_background)

Hi @ManuelDiPietro
in case you updated an app originally created in v1.9
you may want to run
flutter clean
flutter pub cache repair
let me know if this is the case and if the issue persists
thank you

Yep, but in this way you cannot manage background message.

Hey, Thank You This Is Work For Me

[NeXT405]

any update on this? Same issue with a new project created with:

Flutter 1.12.13+hotfix.8 • channel stable • https://github.com/flutter/flutter.git
Framework • revision 0b8abb4724 (2 weeks ago) • 2020-02-11 11:44:36 -0800
Engine • revision e1e6ced81d
Tools • Dart 2.7.0

[pneves001]

I have been struggling with this issue for the last 4 days. To say that this is a massive issue is an understatement. Its making this plugin in android completely unusable for what I'm doing. The version I've been trying to get working is version 6.0.9. It's the latest version. If you need more information on this issue I'll be happy to provide it to you. Please let me know. It's kind of urgent I get this working. And the trouble is I have other plugins I am using and If I break flutters plugin system to get this plugin working it kind of defeats the benefit.

[O-ID]

it's likely that you deleted the default metadata in AndroidManifest.xml
I experienced the same thing, but after I changed to the initial settings everything was fine.

[peternagy1332]

@collinjackson @kroikie Any updates, please? This issue blocks new projects receive push notifications from Cloud Messaging.

[schankam]

It is currently impossible to handle background push notifications (what you need the most basically) on Android because of this problem. When can we expect a fix ?

It is not working with latest 6.0.13, also getting the same error.

Changing the registerWithmethod is not a fix, as it will crash if we define the onBackgroundMessage.

Push Notification is a very basic feature of any application, I was expecting it to be simple when I switched to Flutter + FCM but it looks like I was wrong...

[pneves001]

I managed to fix the issue. The following are changes I had to make. It took an exhaustive search on the internet to figure this out. I wish the people associated with this project would just fix the docs with the correct information. The other piece of the for this is that when you set your intent you use the URL on the firebase console. NOT the url you encoded. This was one little line on an obscure page in the firebase dock. It took me weeks to find it. Cheers hope this helps.

Add the following to the AndroidManifest.xml

<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="FLUTTER_NOTIFICATION_CLICK" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>


<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
                <data android:host="yourfirebaseconsole.page.link" android:scheme="https"/>
  </intent-filter>

FirebaseCloudMessagingPluginRegistrant.kt

            return
        }
        FirebaseMessagingPlugin.registerWith(registry.registrarFor("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin"))
    }

    private fun alreadyRegisteredWith(registry: PluginRegistry): Boolean {
        val key: String = FirebaseCloudMessagingPluginRegistrant::class.java.getCanonicalName()
        if (registry.hasPlugin(key)) {
            return true
        }
        registry.registrarFor(key)
        return false
    }

[pneves001]

And this is a bug with the documentation in MYHO making it a bug with the plugin.

[lazylazyllama]

@pneves001 but you still don't get background notifications ..

[pneves001]

No I got it working. But background notifications happen when the app is closed. I also added this to the main.dart file of my app Some of it is in the main function

import 'package:firebase_messaging/firebase_messaging.dart';
import 'package:platform/platform.dart';

final FirebaseMessaging _firebaseMessaging = FirebaseMessaging();

Future<dynamic> myBackgroundMessageHandler(Map<String, dynamic> message) {
   if (message.containsKey('data')) {
     // Handle data message
     final dynamic data = message['data'];
   }

   if (message.containsKey('notification')) {
     // Handle notification message
     final dynamic notification = message['notification'];

     print(notification.toString()); 
   }

void iosPermissions()
  {
    _firebaseMessaging.onIosSettingsRegistered
      .listen((IosNotificationSettings settings)
      {
      print("Settings registered: $settings");
      });

    _firebaseMessaging.requestNotificationPermissions(
      IosNotificationSettings(sound: true, badge: true, alert: true)
  );

  }

void main() async {
 Platform platform = LocalPlatform(); 

  if (platform.isIOS == true) iosPermissions(); 

_firebaseMessaging.configure(
          onMessage: (Map<String, dynamic> message) async 
            {
            print("####  onMessage: $message");

            },
          onBackgroundMessage: (platform.isIOS == true) ? null : myBackgroundMessageHandler,
          onLaunch: (Map<String, dynamic> message) async 
            {
            print("onLaunch: $message");


            },
          onResume: (Map<String, dynamic> message) async 
            {
            print("onResume: $message");


            },
        );

  _firebaseMessaging.getToken().then((token)
          {
          print(token);

          }, 
      onError: (error)
          {
          print(error); 

          });

}

[lazylazyllama]

@pneves001 that is weird because in my case background messages work if i set the android embedding to version 1 and switch back to the old kotlin implementation...

but with embedding v2 and your new implementation it's only working if the app is in the foreground.

[pneves001]

Oh I forgot to mention. You need to change the application name to point to your new Application at the top of your AndroidManifest.xml.

    <application
        android:name=".Application"
        android:label="yourappname"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">

[lazylazyllama]

I know I did that. Otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it to work with v1 embedding

[pneves001]

I'm just checking my app to see if there is anything else I neglected to mention.

[lazylazyllama]

Are you sending data messages or notification messages? Because I'm using data messages ..

[pneves001]

This plugin is so finicky it took me a long time to get this to work right. One thing I had to do is store the message in local storage so that I can pass it to other widgets in separate files. Dart likes to keep everything in different files separate. It creates a contained space in every file. So I resorted to storing the messages in local storage.

[pneves001]

Here is the version of the plugin I'm using:

firebase_messaging: ^6.0.12

[pneves001]

Just text. No additional information.

BTW... I believe I'm using V2.

What do you mean with "just text"?

Are you doing

{
      "to": "/topics/mytopic",
      "notification":{
          "title":"Portugal vs. Denmark",
          "body":"great match!"
      }
}

or

{
      "to": "/topics/mytopic",
      "data":{
          "property":"Portugal vs. Denmark",
          "property3":"great match!"
      }
}

[pneves001]

Well let me put it this way. When it comes to receiving messages out right and displaying them in app. I'm using websockets. I use firebase notifications just for text and to notify my users that there is a message that came in. The plugin is too finicky for that. IMO

[lazylazyllama]

Okay I found the issue... I am using the local notifications plugin and it wasn't able to execute in the background... So I had to do write a FlutterLocalNotificationPluginRegistrant ... now everything is working fine. Thank you.

I got the solution from here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/53572110/flutter-push-notifications-even-if-the-app-is-closed

[giorgio79]

Managed to get a ticket with the Google team to provide a Kotlin based example for https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_messaging at https://github.com/FirebaseExtended/flutterfire/issues/2311

Reading through this issue, also I have no application.kt, just MainActivity.kt so this whole thing is a mess.

[awhitford]

I expect the documentation to clarify what needs to be done for Kotlin when that is the new default for Flutter projects now.

[pneves001]

I expect the documentation to clarify what needs to be done for Kotlin when that is the new default for Flutter projects now.

No you need to create the Application.kt yourself. Your actually replacing the MainActivity.kt file with that.

[mnorhamizan]

@pneves001, After doing these workarounds. Do we not use GeneratedPluginRegistrant.java anymore?

I have this in the file and I'm not sure what's causing the crash after installation during debugging. There's no error whatsoever on my side.

public final class GeneratedPluginRegistrant {
  public static void registerWith(@NonNull FlutterEngine flutterEngine) {
    ShimPluginRegistry shimPluginRegistry = new ShimPluginRegistry(flutterEngine);

Any update on this? I'm getting the same error as the OP had 4 months ago.

Me too.

@mnorhamizan This is what I get too. :(
I followed @pneves001 instructions and got the app crashing upon launch.

@pneves001 Why did you commented out the configureFlutterEngine() from MainActivity.kt? It is important to keep that function in order to register other types of plugins.

[pneves001]

The FlutterApplication() base class already implements the configureFlutterEngine(). So you don't need to do it again.

[aidandavis]

@mnorhamizan This is what I get too. :(
I followed @pneves001 instructions and got the app crashing upon launch.

Flutter Channel master, 1.18.0-9.0.pre.122
firebase_messaging: 6.0.13

Hi @Aurora12 , did you gix the crash on launch? I am having the same issue, can't get around it.

[yanivshaked]

Same issue here.

[awhitford]

I'd like to second this comment:

I wish the people associated with this project would just fix the docs with the correct information.

The Readme should have instructions for Kotlin since it is the default for new Flutter projects.

Yes I'm agree

[dmiedev]

Can we get any attention to this problem from the team? The documentation is all messed up.

[Xbobo5530]

This is what I am still getting:

I still have this same issue, seems like this new set up complicates things... I guess I might have to put off notifications on my app for the time being... are there any known alternatives?

[khacnha]

+1 same problem here!

[awhitford]

Still no Kotlin instructions on the latest firebase_messaging 7.0.0 release: https://pub.dev/packages/firebase_messaging 😢

[Aurora12]

This is what I have in Application.kt. Works for me!

package com.your.packagename

import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry.PluginRegistrantCallback
import io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin
import io.flutter.view.FlutterMain
import io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FlutterFirebaseMessagingService

class Application : FlutterApplication(), PluginRegistrantCallback {

    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        FlutterFirebaseMessagingService.setPluginRegistrant(this);
        FlutterMain.startInitialization(this)
    }

    override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry?) {
        if (!registry!!.hasPlugin("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging")) {
            FirebaseMessagingPlugin.registerWith(registry!!.registrarFor("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin"));
        }
    }
}

MainActivity.kt is default.

package com.your.packagename

import androidx.annotation.NonNull;
import io.flutter.embedding.android.FlutterActivity
import io.flutter.embedding.engine.FlutterEngine
import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant

class MainActivity: FlutterActivity() {
    override fun configureFlutterEngine(@NonNull flutterEngine: FlutterEngine) {
        GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(flutterEngine);
    }
}

[awhitford]

Based on advice found in #1775, this is what I had for Application.kt:

package com.your.packagename

import io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry
import io.flutter.plugin.common.PluginRegistry.PluginRegistrantCallback
import io.flutter.plugins.GeneratedPluginRegistrant
import io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FlutterFirebaseMessagingService

public class Application : FlutterApplication(), PluginRegistrantCallback {
  override fun onCreate() {
    super.onCreate()
    FlutterFirebaseMessagingService.setPluginRegistrant(this)
  }

  override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry) {
    registry?.registrarFor("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin")
  }
}

What is the significance of adding FlutterMain.startInitialization(this) to onCreate?

Can you explain why your registerWith is better? Why is the guard necessary?

Finally, why do we need to tweak Application & MainActivity at all? Why can't the initialization be contained and completely managed by the dependency?

[juzejunior]

Hello guys, how to configure it to embedding v2? Here I'm having this trouble:

Fatal Exception: java.lang.RuntimeException Unable to create service io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FlutterFirebaseMessagingService: java.lang.RuntimeException: PluginRegistrantCallback is not set. android.app.ActivityThread.handleCreateService

[MungaraJay]

I am also getting the same error, Type mismatch: inferred type is PluginRegistry but FlutterEngine was expected

tried above all solutions. Nothing worked.

Can anyone show me workaround to fix it?

I am using following versions,
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.5.3'
classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.2'

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:20.2.4'

[MungaraJay]

Following solution works for me as well,

https://stackoverflow.com/a/63742287/5715935

[tvc12]

There is a workaround mentioned in: #1613

Replace:

 override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry?) {
        GeneratedPluginRegistrant.registerWith(registry) //Error thrown here
    }

To:

    override fun registerWith(registry: PluginRegistry?) {
  io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin.registerWith(registry?.registrarFor("io.flutter.plugins.firebasemessaging.FirebaseMessagingPlugin"));
    }

Also temporary downgrade firebase_messaging to 5.1.6

  firebase_messaging: ^5.1.6

The build crash is solved. Don't know if "background messaging" works. If someone can confirm that?

It's work for me,

flutter version Channel beta, 1.22.0-12.1.pre, on Linux, locale en_US.UTF-8
Dart version 2.10.0 (build 2.10.0-110.3.beta)

dependencies:
  firebase_analytics: 6.0.0
  firebase_remote_config: 0.4.0
  firebase_crashlytics: 0.1.4+1
  firebase_dynamic_links: 0.6.0

Do change in your app-level Gradle :

compileSdkVersion 30
targetSdkVersion 30

Hey all 👋

As part of our roadmap (#2582) we've just shipped a complete rework of the firebase_messaging plugin that aims to solve this and many other issues.

If you can, please try out the dev release (see the migration guide for upgrading and for changes) and if you have any feedback then join in the discussion here.

Given the scope of the rework I'm going to go ahead and close this issue in favor of trying out the latest plugin.

Thanks everyone.

[supposedlysam-bb]

I managed to fix the issue. The following are changes I had to make. It took an exhaustive search on the internet to figure this out. I wish the people associated with this project would just fix the docs with the correct information. The other piece of the for this is that when you set your intent you use the URL on the firebase console. NOT the url you encoded. This was one little line on an obscure page in the firebase dock. It took me weeks to find it. Cheers hope this helps.

Add the following to the AndroidManifest.xml

<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="FLUTTER_NOTIFICATION_CLICK" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
  </intent-filter>


<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true">
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE"/>
