[question]: Setup Notification to open The app from terminal state

[tazy-dev]

How can we help?

I Searched the docs bit Found Nothing , i want to setup my service such that upon clicking on notification it opens the app, so Far working on fore/back ground states
but when the app is in terminated state Clicking the notification does nothing and i need to click it one or 2 more times

My Setup

initOneSignal() {
  OneSignal.Debug.setLogLevel(
    OSLogLevel.error,
  );

  OneSignal.initialize (AppConstants.oneSignalAppID);
  OneSignal.Notifications.requestPermission(true);
}

setupNotification(BuildContext context) {
  OneSignal.Notifications.addClickListener((openedResult) {
      PodcastEntity podcastEntity = PodcastModel.fromJson(
        jsonDecode(
          openedResult.notification.additionalData!["podcast"],
        ),
      ).toEntity;
      context.read<NotificationBloc>().add(
            NotificationClickedEvent(
              entity: podcastEntity,
            ),
          );
    });
}

Hi @tazy-dev thanks for reporting. The app should open from a notification click in the terminated state.

Can you try this without the Notification Click Listener?

I wonder if the click listener is affecting this.

[tazy-dev]

Will try it,
@nan-li
For navigation to a specific page opun clicking the notification
My initial guess
As seen in the code that IAM passing a context to the function the setup the listener , som maybe it waiting for the context to be available
Like the first click wake the app the second click works normally
And do you recommend using navigator key in this case Instead of the actual context

Hi @tazy-dev, I won't be able to help you much with your own app navigation process.

We should first narrow down if this is a OneSignal SDK issue that OneSignal can help with, or if this is an issue with the navigation logic within the click listener.

Let me know what you experience if you remove the click listener.

[tazy-dev]

@nan-li yes it's regarding notification onclick , when the app is in terminated state
the app won't open upon clicking the notification for the first time

Hello @tazy-dev, we encountered the same issue and opened an issue on the Android repo (see here) which has been fixed few hours ago (didn't test it yet)

@nan-li when are you planning to bump the android dependency ?

[tazy-dev]

@guillaumeboussion
I am new to this
It said that it was fixed
But what I need to do in order to get the changes in my app (noob question 🫡)

[guillaumeboussion]

@tazy-dev as the OneSignal Flutter SDK relies on the native OneSignal Android SDK, we need to wait for the Flutter team to update the internal dependency on Android. Feel free to send a DM if you need more assistance

Hi Hope this email finds you well Ok this update Did solve the problem And the application now opens in all app states Foreground, background and terminated state to some extent But for me Personally sometimes it didn't open and if it did , it didn't navigate to the screen I wanted I solved all my problems using Global Navigation key It worked perfectly Ps. For terminated state i wrote code to wait for the key state to not be null then invoke navigation

terminated state

What you use to show terminated state notification , is there any extra code ?

[satyam-dev]

When the app is in background state and terminated state, clicking on the notification doesn't open the app. I am on Redmi Note 8 pro. Can someone help?

This issue still happens on all platforms. This is absolutely core functionality. How exactly it was missed?
