Good day. We have a current working implementation of FirebaseMessagingService in production. Unfortunately, based on your docs, we will be unable to get multi-device support for push notification without extending SendbirdPushHandler. My issue at the moment is, on test, onMessageReceived is not being invoked on a class extending SendbirdPushHandler. Please help why it’s not working.

How I set it up:

- Disable current working implementation of FirebaseMessagingService in Manifest
- Make FCMService extending SendbirdPushHandler
- Copy code of class extending SendbirdPushHandler from your sample apps, with alwaysReceiveMessage set to true
- set registerPushHandler on Application class and on login
- Go to Sendbird Dashboard, enable “Send to devices both offline and online” in Push Notification settings
- Test with Push Notification tester

What works:

- Auto-registration of token

What doesn’t work

- Invoke of onMessageReceived

Let me repeat, my issue at the moment is not in the building of push notifications, but on getting payload from onMessageReceived, thanks

Any updates on these?

I have a similar issue. I do receive the payload message on my custom SendbirdPushHandler but only when the app is on the foreground/background. If the app is totally closed/killed, my custom SendbirdPushHandler somehow cannot receive the message.
