New Way to Implement Firebase Push Notification — FirebaseInstanceIdService Deprecated (Android)

New versions + New Implementation = Easiness

Credits

As we already know that to Implement the push notifications with firebase we always need to define the two services.

com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT
com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT

Now, In the new version of firebase-messaging, the firebaseInstanceIdService is Deprecated. In the new version we don’t need to use INSTANCE_ID_EVENT, just extend your MyInstanceIDListenerService service with FirebaseMessagingService like below:

Next Step is to @Override some methods:

@Override
public void onNewToken(String s) {
    super.onNewToken(s);
}
@Override
public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
}

onNewToken will give you the token and onMessageReceived will received the message. Now no need to call onMessageReceived in another service. After all this, we also need to update the Manifest file as well and now Only one service needs to be defined like below:

<service
    android:name=".service.firebase.MyInstanceIDListenerService"
    android:permission="false">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
    </intent-filter>
</service>

If you want to get the token in your activity so in the older version we have:

FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken()

The above method getInstance().getToken is also deprecated. The new way to get the token in your activity like below:

FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId().addOnSuccessListenr(Activity.this,new OnSuccessListener<InstanceIdResult>() {
     @Override
     public void onSuccess(InstanceIdResult instanceIdResult) {
           String newToken = instanceIdResult.getToken();
     }
 });

So, now you have the latest Implementation of Firebase push :-)
