app not receiving push notifications from firebase

[aquinn637]

I’m working on trying to get push notifications working on my project. I’m working on a new project with NativeScript and Angular 8.

I have created a free account with Firebase: https://console.firebase.google.com/
I linked my app id to the Firebase project and added Android. I downloaded the file ‘google-services.json ’ and put it in app/App_Resources/Android/google-services.json

I found a plugin for NativeScript for using Firebase:
https://github.com/EddyVerbruggen/nativescript-plugin-firebase

I followed the steps on both the firebase console and on the plugin github page but I’m not getting any notifications through on my phone.

How can I get my app to receive the push notifications?

Here is my app.components.ts file:

import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
const firebase = require("nativescript-plugin-firebase");
//import * as firebase from "firebase";

@Component({
    selector: "ns-app",
    templateUrl: "./app.component.html"
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {

    ngOnInit() {
      firebase.init({

        showNotifications: true,
        showNotificationsWhenInForeground: true,

        // Optionally pass in properties for database, authentication and cloud messaging,
        // see their respective docs.

        onPushTokenReceivedCallback: (token) => {
          console.log('[Firebase] onPushTokenReceivedCallback:', { token });
        },

        onMessageReceivedCallback: (message) => {
          console.log('[Firebase] onMessageReceivedCallback:', { message });
        }

      }).then(
        () => { console.log("firebase.init done"); },
        error => {
          console.log(`firebase.init error: ${error}`);
        }
      );
    }

}

package.json:

{
  "nativescript": {
    "id": "org.nativescript.FireBaseTest2",
    "tns-android": {
      "version": "6.1.2"
    },
    "tns-ios": {
      "version": "6.1.0"
    }
  },
  ....

Here are my push notification attempts:

Can you share that project with me? And are you running on a real device?

[aquinn637]

@EddyVerbruggen Yes, I'm running on a real Android device. How can I share my project with you?

[EddyVerbruggen]

Push a version of your that shows the problem to Github. Please strip it of any unrelated things..

@EddyVerbruggen Here it is: https://github.com/aquinn637/FireBaseTest2

[aquinn637]

@EddyVerbruggen This is the code in my app.component file: ngOnInit() {
firebase.init({

    showNotifications: true,
    showNotificationsWhenInForeground: true,

    // Optionally pass in properties for database, authentication and cloud messaging,
    // see their respective docs.
    
    onPushTokenReceivedCallback: (token) => {
      console.log('[Firebase] onPushTokenReceivedCallback:', { token });
    },

    onMessageReceivedCallback: (message) => {
      console.log('[Firebase] onMessageReceivedCallback:', { message });
    }

  }).then(
    () => { console.log("firebase.init done"); },
    error => {
      console.log(`firebase.init error: ${error}`);
    }
  );
}

I am getting some console log output:

JS: firebase.init done
JS: [Firebase] onPushTokenReceivedCallback: {
JS: "token": "dUtx4IEaz5E:APA91bE3qwJnjHVzOyFekkktpq8gDeDl5cXvTKhU3Zm9ERmuMPdBd_OsaqlLJilWzjnWsLiAnrB0fj8UkVVIEp6Od7hzwCNwwU41D5Y8vUQfhq3LZV_ZcFLs9Gp4QZU8mpxeVGtgg7tH"
JS: }
JS: [Firebase] onMessageReceivedCallback: {
JS: "message": {
JS: "foreground": true,
JS: "from": "346123413786",
JS: "title": "Hello5",
JS: "body": "Hello5, this is a test",
JS: "data": {}
JS: }
JS: }

But the notifications do not show up on the device. Android 5.0 SM-N9005

@EddyVerbruggen I got one notification but it was only when the app was in the background. Not when the app was in the foreground.

Let's continue in your repo.

Hi, do you have this sorted out?
I also get notifications only in console in onMessageReceivedCallback but notifications are not showing

[manojdcoder]

@vytautas-pranskunas-

• Are you testing on real device?
• Notification never appear Or only when app is on foreground?

[vytautas-pranskunas-]

• Not sure what does that mean "testing on real device" because i have run "tns run adnroid" so emulator started but by using "preview" i also have it running on my phone. So is it real or not?

• Notifications appear only in console never on device or emulator

[vytautas-pranskunas-]

I wonder maybe this is because i never got notification about push notification permissions?

[felicks]

I have the same issue

[NazimMertBilgi]

Will the emulator not work in any way?
