flutter firebase notifications not working as expected on android phone - flutter

Question

I am not able to receive notifications on my android emulator.
Here is the message I see in the terminal::
D/FLTFireMsgReceiver( 8541): broadcast received for message
So I am getting the message, but I cant do anything with it?
I am testing the notifications by going to firebase and creating a dummy message ( see image attached )
here is my pubspec.yaml file:
name: ijob_clone_app
description: A new Flutter project.
# The following line prevents the package from being accidentally published to
# pub.dev using `flutter pub publish`. This is preferred for private packages.
publish_to: 'none' # Remove this line if you wish to publish to pub.dev
# The following defines the version and build number for your application.
# A version number is three numbers separated by dots, like 1.2.43
# followed by an optional build number separated by a +.
# Both the version and the builder number may be overridden in flutter
# build by specifying --build-name and --build-number, respectively.
# In Android, build-name is used as versionName while build-number used as versionCode.
# Read more about Android versioning at https://developer.android.com/studio/publish/versioning
# In iOS, build-name is used as CFBundleShortVersionString while build-number is used as CFBundleVersion.
# Read more about iOS versioning at
# https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/General/Reference/InfoPlistKeyReference/Articles/CoreFoundationKeys.html
# In Windows, build-name is used as the major, minor, and patch parts
# of the product and file versions while build-number is used as the build suffix.

You have to act on the data received to present it.
You could use the package flutter_local_notifications to customize everything.
