We are building an app in flutter where we have a requirement to read user sms. We are able to successfully read a message using https://pub.dev/packages/telephony plugin when app is open. This plugin also provided background message handle which we implemented but still we are not able to read message when app is closed. Is there other way to achieve it.
telephony.listenIncomingSms(
onNewMessage: (SmsMessage message) {
// Handle message
},
onBackgroundMessage: backgroundMessageHandler
);
telephony not working if app closed use method channel connect kotlin create BroadcastReceiver create service and registerReceiver

We are developing an app with angular/ionic in which we use capacitor jitsi plugin for video calls. What we are now trying to do is to receive notifications (via firebase) like in whatsapp with the incoming call screen and two buttons to accept and decline. Any idea on how to do that?
Thanks
If you got the choice to change the notification service, instead or directly using firebase, you could use Onesignal which extends firebase and they already have a service named VOIP notifications which should kinda do your needs and here is the link:
https://documentation.onesignal.com/docs/voip-notifications
In case your are restricted with firebase or need to know how this could be done, bellow will be the way to achieve it..
As for android:
First as logic part, you need to add some code in the native layer since hybrid apps usually can't interact from JavaScript side to native side in case app was not launched, so in order to wake the application on a specific event like notification received or any other actions that phone system can hold..
Second, as technical part, you need to add broadcast receivers and the receivers role stand to interact as native code with system. example in the link below:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/android-broadcastreceiver-example-tutorial
also another video about foreground and background broadcast receiver service in the link below:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlzfcqDlovg
video code output in git:
https://github.com/borntocoderepos/callrecorder
in the Youtube video example, the user is launching a toast message on phone call if app was opened or closed (background or foreground) so you can launch your app with intent with passing data and capture the data on app start as Deep Links as capacitor (https://capacitorjs.com/docs/guides/deep-links) or Cordova (https://ionicframework.com/docs/native/deeplinks)..
And instead of listening to network or phone calls, you can listen to Notifications and for sure you need to do searches about your topic and or the notification service that you'll choose.
Now for the video and the tutorial not sure of the quality of code so make sure to do more researches about the way its done from different places (could be outdated code or bad code quality or even not complete service and will discuss about this point below).
In android there is policy about using background and foreground services so once you start a service you need to end it after your done so make sure after you receive the notification and launch your app to stop the listening since it would cost power usage and perhaps could be stopped by Playstore as harmful app.
Now considering IOS it should be the same concept so make searches about this topic, but for IOS, the listeners policy as I remember , the receivers should not be waked up for more than 15 mins, so also keep this in mind and make sure you stop the receivers directly after launching your Hybrid app.
Broadcast equivalent receiver for IOS:

Im working on the app sends list of data to server one by one in foreground with progress indication via push notification to user. I need to send the data to server even the app is killed with the progress indication using the android service.
Is this possible? If not please suggest me any other solutions or techniques.
I have to create call application with help of Agora. When app is in foreground it is okay, but i want to accept calls when app is on background or terminated. I am trieng to use Callkeep plugin for accepting calls of background
I found a way via FCM background message,but i dont know how to implement solutiion for IOS,it does not have FCM background message
I tried use VOIP notification, but i dont know how to send them to my flutter app
I use Firebase as a backend
I need solution for both Android and IOS
Thanks
For IOS you will have to implement a server side script that will send VOIP Push notifications to the user before the real VOIP call comes in. From what I know, you cannot user Firebase for this.
Please refer to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pushkit/responding_to_voip_notifications_from_pushkit to know more about the changes about handling VOIP calls in background.
Also, refer to https://developer.apple.com/documentation/pushkit/responding_to_voip_notifications_from_pushkit to know more about sending VOIP Push notifications on server side.
I am implementing a video call feature in Flutter with the help of Firebase Cloud Messaging,
it's working fine in foreground.
my doubt is
while app is in background I need to get a receiving call same like as WhatsApp in both Android and IOS .... is it possible in flutter?
yes. it is possible by the combination of push notification and flutter_callkeep to show the upcoming call screen.
Or if you want to run the background process you need to refer to Method Channels, and here is a post about creating a service for running app in the background. also background_fetch is a useful package for background process.
I have searched Google, YouTube and stack overflow for the answer but I haven't found any real solution.
I want to implement my own push notification solution on flutter, without firebase nor One signal. I do not want to depend on a third party service.
My Backend is on GoLang with graphql.
On the frontend, I am using a block pattern (flutter_bloc v6) and graphql_flutter v4.
I am using graphql subscriptions, so whenever the Backend emits a signal, the flutter app is able to receive it immediately.
I would like to be able to push up notifications to my users whenever the Backend sends some information, no matter if the app is on the foreground, background, closed or whatever. I do not want scheduled notifications either (aka flutter_local_notifications)
Do you want to use a third service other than firebase/one signal?
Then you can try airship(https://docs.airship.com/reference/messages/message-types/push-notifications/)
But if you want to setup your own provider server, please check this page(https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting_up_a_remote_notification_server), this is the start point, from where you can start your investigation and development.
Then you have to create your own backend system to send push notifications to the device. You have to develop Native Application for iOS and Android going beyond flutter. The local push notification could be used but you need to develop a custom notification receiver that will respond to the notification call back from the server in the background.
