Using firebase web, I want to trigger a notification in a flutter app from a dashboard. In other words, I want to target the flutter app whenever I make certain changes in the dashboard using firebase cloud messaging.
Can I do that? Or do I have to write separate codes in both the flutter app and the web app?
when you trigger a notification in a flutter app from a dashboard. You can choose which app to push (Android/iOs/web)
Just to add more on Vu Thanh's answer, you can use the User Segment in the Messaging console to select the Flutter app you want to send notifications to. You can read about a related post here.

I have this flutter app fully done but I want to add a button that say share when user clicks on this button it share the entire apk to a friend either using Xender or any other sharing medium.
I kno it may not be possible on iOS but I want to do this on flutter Android.
How can this be achieved.
Why don't you upload to apk to any storage hosting then send the link when click share.
Another way is to use Flutter share package , you can take a look at the documentation for more info
I'm trying out the push notifications for flutter apps, so I was wondering, is using FCM (Firebase Cloud Messaging) a must use for push notifications or not? Can I do this without FCM? NOTE:I tried using FCM and it works when the app is offline, in the background and foreground. I tried just the local push notifications with an alarm app and it only works while the app is in the background or foreground, not when the app is offline. I want to build a push notification system that sends data that works like this Some system -> My API -> My mobile App, can I work like that with a flutter app? Or do I need to go like this Some system -> My API -> FCM -> My mobile App. I know FCM is cross platform so is probably the best, but I just want to know my other options too.
Thanks in advance for your help and advice!
The OS shows push notifications, and it doesn't matter what kind of technology you're using to create the app. All you need is to get unique token and send it to the server, so it can send a notification to the phone. Thus, you need a service to do that for you. FCM is one of them. There are other options like OneSignal, Amazon AWS, Pusher and others.
I need to show a notification containing accept or reject button using firebase cloud messaging. Is there any plugin or sample about it. I am stack. I need some guide or reference.
I have push notifications working and have both a data and notification part in them. In the data part is a tag that tells the app what updates are available for the user.
The problem is that I would like the app to fetch those updates even if the user does not tap on the notification.
With other apps, eg Whatsapp, a notification is shown. Without tapping this notification, and even when the app is not running, the app downloads the data. For example if the user switches to flight mode right after receiving the notification and then opens whatsapp, the message and/or picture is there, already downloaded and displayed in the app.
So the question is how to get an app written in Flutter to download something in response to getting a push notification, regardless of whether the app is in the foreground, background, or not running.
Checkout isolate mentioned in Flutter background processes with a link to Medium Executing Dart in the Background with Flutter Plugins and Geofencing
Checking with GitHub issue Flutter should provide an abstraction for background execution and issue comments/references after that you may find some other examples. Bottom line is people need more examples.
I have and ionic, cordova hybrid mobile app on play store and i have used OneSignal for handling Push Notifications in mobile app. I have noticed from OneSignal Dashboard, there are lots of "Calypso AppCrawler" entries without Push Token being generated(refer to attached screenshot).
Does anyone knows what are those entries and how do i exclude them from OneSignal Dashboard?
I can't help with the second part of the question (excluding them from OneSignal dash) - but those entries are Google's App Indexing crawlbot, and the devices they are set up with never generate an FCM token.
