And in our native code we restart the FlutterEngine whenever a new notification is received like this

func restartHost(initialRoute: String? = nil, routeParams: [String: Any]? = nil) {
      FlutterHostPresenter.flutterEngine = FlutterEngine(name: "com.redemption.runner")
      FlutterHostPresenter.flutterEngine.run()
      let flutterViewController = FlutterViewController.init(engine: FlutterHostPresenter.flutterEngine, nibName: nil, bundle: nil)
      AppDelegate.shared.window.rootViewController = flutterViewController
  }

And the above trick worked fine before upgrade and in earlier versions but after upgrading Flutter a weird behaviour I am seeing and that is becoming a huge pain for me

Push notification is received just fine for the first time after app is fresh started

Second time and onwards Native code does receive the notification (Native push life cycle are called as expected) however onMessage (FirebaseMessaging.onMessage.listen(onMessage);)method is never called.

Not sure if its a bug at firebase_messaging side or if I am doing something which is not expected.

Could anyone guide me here? I have been struggling on this for more than a week now.

FYI: Android is working as expected
