Changes

Notification style is changed from old style to new message styled notifications (Preview Below).
Message Styled Notification works on in Android API 28 and above.
Extension is divided into two parts now.
- FCM Helper :- This extension is just for adding library into the APK. You just have to drag this in your app once. (Size : 280 KB)
- Firebase Cloud Messaging :- This component do the whole job. Use it normally as above posted in the topic. (Size : 35 KB)

Blocks Added

This event will be triggered when the notification clicked. Returns the notification’s info.

Clear all the notification of the app.

Set the custom sound for notifications from application assets. It does not works with storage files and URLs.

Note

There are some points that you should know about this extension.

The extension works fine in all builders. Tested in Kodular, App Inventor and Niotron. However, You require different FCM Helper component’s version in kodular and for other AI2 clones.
Start value, priority and big picture notification are only available when you send the notification from rest APIs or inbuilt extension’s block.
After Android Version 7, notification sound play only when the priority is set to High. Low and default priority does not play sounds.
Extension is tested and working fine in Android Version 7.1.2, 9, 10, and 11.
Notification sent from firebase console show the notification itself to collect the stats or report of the shown notification. So the notification style will be affected a lot. Notification Opened and Notification Received event won’t be triggered if the notification sent from console.
