Implement play audio from push notification

[plumberg]

Hi,

I am working on adding a push-to-talk feature to the app. I was able to implement everything I need, until I ran into the issue with receiving audio while the app is in a background.
So, I tried sending a link to the audio in the push notification. The idea is that push callback should play the audio from the link the moment the push is received.
The code in push(String value) is something like

Media audio = MediaManager.createBackgroundMedia(value);
           // audio.prepare();
            Display.getInstance().callSerially(() -> {
                audio.setNativePlayerMode(false);
                audio.play();
            });

The problem is, it's not working when the app is in background.
For iOS, I've added codename1.arg.ios.background_modes=location,remote-notification,audio,music.
For android, audio playing from push used to work, but for some reason now it has the same issue - now it works only in foreground.

I know that it should be possible to implement, because there are apps that can do what I am trying to achieve (For example, Zello).
Also, based on this StackOverFlow Q&A, it should be possible.

I'll appreciate any ideas and help on this issue.

Several commits were made and no activity since 2022. I'm assuming this is no longer applicable and closing.

Please reopen this issue. We have a project that's been waiting and really this feature. Otherwise, can you please suggest a comparable workaround?

Thank you.

In order to use this feature you need to invoke:

Display.getInstance().setProperty("android.delayPushCompletion", "true");

in your init(Object) method. Then when a push callback is invoked you would need to invoke Display.getInstance().notifyPushCompletion() when it's completed in 30 seconds or less. This should give you enough time to perform or initiate background processing.
