How is the custom_notification payload showing notifications?

@evollu @seanadkinson

I am using the custom_notification payload and the fetch send method. I have a use case where I want the notification to not be presented if the user is currently in the chat window. Before when I was using a regular data payload, notifications were presented with FCM.presentLocalNotification and I would check if the message was read and then if it was I wouldn’t call FCM.presentLocalNotification.

However now with a custom_notification payload, FCM.presentLocalNotification is no longer used to present the notification, and as far I can tell there is no call back to present the notification. Or is there? Any ideas on how I can achieve the above with the custom_notification payload scenario?

Thanks.

Ok I got it working thanks a lot @olieidel for the advice 😃

I set show_in_foreground: false for my custom_notification payload on the notification types I wanted to not show in the chat window. Then in the PushController I checked if it was false within the FCM.on(FCMEvent.Notification then performed a check to see if the AppState was active and if the message is read/unread. If unread then I call this.showLocalNotification. The notifications in background and killed app states aren’t handled by this.showLocalNotification so they are always shown and it Works great!

@evollu Just after asking the question, this using same ID trick came to my mind, and I am able to handle it nicely. Thank you for the advice 😃 👍
