Steps to reproduce the Behavior

Call FirebasePushNotificationManager.Initialize(this, true, true, false); Unable to produce any other behaviour on Android,

Expected Behavior

Token is refreshed on every app launch.

Actual Behavior

• OnTokenRefresh is never called
• CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.Token is not null but never changes after first install, resulting in “NotRegistered” when trying to push to device using FCM API.

Code snippet

In application OnCreate() FirebasePushNotificationManager.Initialize(this, true, true, false);

After user login

    if (CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.Token != null) {
        RefreshToken(CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.Token);
    }

    CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.OnTokenRefresh += (source, data) => {
        if (data != null) {
            RefreshToken(data.Token);
        }
    };

    CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.OnNotificationReceived += (source, data) => {
        if (data != null) {
            ReceiveNotification(data.Data);
        }
    };

    CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.OnNotificationOpened += (source, data) => {
        if (data != null) {
            OpenNotification(data.Data);
        }
    };

    CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.RegisterForPushNotifications();

Try initialize with this:

      var options = new FirebaseOptions.Builder()
                   .SetApplicationId("Your application id")
                   .SetApiKey("your api key")
                   .SetDatabaseUrl("your database url")
                   .SetStorageBucket("your storagebucket")
                   .SetGcmSenderId("Your gcm").Build();
                this.firebaseApp = FirebaseApp.InitializeApp(this, options);

                FirebasePushNotificationManager.Initialize(this, true);

Very nice library @rdelrosario! Many thanks.

@mea-licensing I’ve had a similar issue caused by a combination of issues. 1) I had to have the linker keep PNFirebaseMessagingService or else the service was linked out and I’d never get a new token. 2) I do not get a new token every time on startup, but somehow my token expired really quickly, so the existing one in CrossFirebasePushNotification.Current.Token was never refreshed, which is likely due to 1. I’m currently using a combination of manually using FirebaseInstanceId.Instance.GetToken... for the initial registration, and then this plugin for everything else.
