[Bug] App crash when clicking notification

[REQUIRED] Please fill in the following fields:

• Unity editor version: 2020.3.7f1
• Firebase Unity SDK version: 7.2.0
• Source you installed the SDK: .unitypackage
• Problematic Firebase Component: Messaging
• Other Firebase Components in use: Analytics
• Additional SDKs you are using: Admob
• Platform you are using the Unity editor on: Windows
• Platform you are targeting: Android
• Scripting Runtime: IL2CPP

[REQUIRED] Please describe the issue here:

When app is running, it will crash when user taps a push notification from the app in the notification tray. (When the app is not open, behavior is normal: tapping a push notification will open the app).

Everything was running fine before. I believe this started after I removed and then re-imported Firebase SDK to my unity project. That may have updated the SDK version (i’m not sure which one i was using before the re-import).

@nronaldvdberg @Str4tos I’ve found this thread on stack overflow and it solved the issue in my case. We’re replaced the following line on AndroidManifest.xml:

Before: <service android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.MessageForwardingService" android:exported="false" /> After…: <service android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.MessageForwardingService" android:permission="android.permission.BIND_JOB_SERVICE" android:exported="true"/>

This adds the BIND_JOB_SERVICE permission to the build and also sets the exported to true.

We haven’t dig deeper into the solution to fully understand it, though. I’d recommend checking if this works for you too, at least as a temporary fix for the problem.

Important: the step to reproduce provided above works. On our case, we had two devices with different builds (before and after codes above) running in background (i.e. minimized) and we sent a push from Firebase Cloud Messaging. The device with “Before” code crashed when opening the notification, while the device with “After” code worked fine. In more details:

1. Open the app
2. Minimize it
3. Send a notification from Firebase Cloud Message
4. Tap on the notification
5. Notice that the app crashes if there’s no BIND_JOB_SERVICE permission added.

Hope that helps!

Hi @mgrogin,

It’s possible that this bug has been fixed in the latest version of the SDK (8.0.0) without the help of the workaround. If the issue persists, you may file a new ticket regarding this.
