push_notification_service 0.0.9

Push notification service for Firebase Cloud Messaging

Firebase Project Registration

To set up Firebase for your Dart project, follow these steps:

1. Install FlutterFire CLI

dart pub global activate flutterfire_cli

Log in or out of Firebase to ensure you are using the correct Google account:

firebase login/logout

2. Configure Firebase

Run the following command and choose Android and iOS platforms to automatically register your app with Firebase and download configuration files:

flutterfire configure

3. Add Firebase Core

Add the basic Firebase configuration to your project:

flutter pub add firebase_core

Use the version ^2.22.0 as of the last documentation update:

dependencies:
  firebase_core: ^2.22.0

4. Set Up Push Notification Handling

For push notification handling, add the following dependencies:

flutter pub add firebase_messaging
flutter pub add flutter_local_notifications:9.6.1

Note: The version 9.6.1 is used for flutter_local_notifications. Be aware that there are changes in newer versions; use this version for compatibility.

Check your android/build.gradle file for the following versions:

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:7.4.2'
    classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:4.3.14'
}

Ensure these versions are up-to-date to avoid build issues.

5. Android Configuration

In your app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml, add the following to create a notification channel:

<meta-data
    android:name="flutterEmbedding"
    android:value="2" />
<meta-data
    android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
    android:value="push_notification_channel" />

6. iOS Configuration

Open your iOS project in Xcode and add the following capabilities:

• Push notifications
• Background modes
  • Background fetch
  • Remote notifications

For additional iOS and Firebase configuration, follow these steps:

• Generate a push notification certificate from Apple Developer account.
• Upload the certificate to Firebase.
• Download the generated certificate from Firebase.

7. Import Code

In your Dart code, initialize the NotificationService in your mail file:

import 'path_to_notification_service.dart';


Future<void> main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp(
    options: DefaultFirebaseOptions.currentPlatform,
  );

  await NotificationService.initNotificationService();

  final token = await NotificationService.requestPermissionWithTokenOrNull();
  print("$token");
  //If subscribe based sent notification then use this token

  runApp(MaterialApp(
    home: NotificationService(child: OnboardingPage()),
  ));
}

Now, you can request the token using the NotificationService in your app.

Remember to replace path_to_notification_service.dart with the actual path to your notification service file.
