How to get push notification click event with Flutter Huawei Push Kit plugin? - flutter

Question

I am integrating Huawei Push Kit (https://pub.dev/packages/huawei_push) in Flutter application and everything works fine except I am unable to get the event when received push notification message is clicked to be able to act on it.
Is this possible to achieve via this plugin or do I need to write this part in native Android code?

Currently, you can achieve this with another plugin that listens for the custom intents. Uni_links package from pub.dev is easy to use. Here is a quick guide to uni_links package:
Add uni_links to your pubspec.yaml file:
dependencies:
flutter:
sdk: flutter
huawei_push: 4.0.4+300
uni_links: 0.4.0
Define an intent filter on your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<application
<!-- . . . Other Configurations . . . -->
<activity/>
<!-- . . . Other Configurations . . . -->
<!-- Add the intent filter below.(inside the application and activity tags) -->
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="app"/>
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application
Call the uni links methods in your initState() that will listen for the custom intents. The notification's custom intent I've sent from the Push Kit Console looks like this:
app:///ContentPage?name=Push Kit&url=https://developer.huawei.com/consumer/en/hms/huawei-pushkit
// Get the initial intent that opens the app
Future<void> initInitialLinks() async {
// Platform messages may fail, so we use a try/catch PlatformException.
try {
String initialLink = await getInitialLink();
if (initialLink != null) {
var uri = Uri.dataFromString(initialLink);
String page = uri.path.split('://')[1];
String serviceName = uri.queryParameters['name'];
String serviceUrl = uri.queryParameters['url'];
try {
WidgetsBinding.instance.addPostFrameCallback((timeStamp) {
Navigator.of(context).pushNamed(
page,
arguments: ContentPageArguments(serviceName, serviceUrl),
); // Navigate to the page from the intent
});
} catch (e) {
Push.showToast(e);
}
}
} on PlatformException {
print('Error: Platform Exception');
}
}
// Get intents as a stream
Future<Null> initLinkStream() async {
if (!mounted) return;
_sub = getLinksStream().listen((String link) {
var uri = Uri.dataFromString(link);
String page = uri.path.split('://')[1];
// Parse the string ...
Navigator.of(context).pushNamed(page); // Navigate to a page from the intent
}, onError: (err) {
print("Error while listening for the link stream: " + err.toString());
});
}

I also looked into their flutter plugin and couldn't any method for that. I guess you will have to write platform specific code and for that you can refer to their demo native android project with PushKit.
