Hey,

Thanks for reaching out with your concern. I am Keagan from the Support team.

We do not have the documentation for push notification integration with flutter. However, it is possible to integrate push notifications.

I am looping in our Solutions team to share some more information on how you can integrate push notifications using Flutter.

Regards.

Hello Haresh,

Unfortunately, we do not have the docs ready for the same. We are working on the same and the docs will be live soon.But you can achieve the same using the below steps:

1. Install FIrebase CLI
2. Add Firebase to your Flutter app - This Asks you to select the platforms (iOS, Android) supported in your Flutter app. For each selected platform, the FlutterFire CLI creates a new Firebase app in your Firebase project.

You can select either to use an existing Firebase project or to create a new Firebase project. If you already have apps registered in an existing Firebase project, the FlutterFire CLI will attempt to match them based on your current Flutter project configuration.

3. Log in to the CometChat Dashboard and select the app you want to set up the push notifications tab.
4. Head over to the Extensions tab and then enable the push notifications extension.
5. Click on the settings icon to open the settings for the extension
6. Provide the Firebase server key. This can be found in the Cloud Messaging section in the Firebase Dashboard.

Once the settings are correctly configured, the Push Notifications extension will start sending push notifications for all the messages shared across in your app. Please make sure that you select both Android and iOS platforms while configuring the extension.

One the client end, please follow the below steps:

1. Add Following Dependencies to your flutter project:

a) firebase_messaging b) firebase_core

2. Obtain the firebase token for the logged in user and provide it to CometChat. You can do this as follows:

FirebaseMessaging messaging = FirebaseMessaging.instance; final String? fcmToken = await messaging.getToken(); if (fcmToken != null) { CometChat.registerTokenForPushNotification(fcmToken, onSuccess: (_) { print("registration Successful"); }, onError: (CometChatException e) { print("${e.details}"); });}

3. Also register listener to be called when fcmToken is refreshed FirebaseMessaging.instance.onTokenRefresh.listen((fcmToken) { CometChat.registerTokenForPushNotification(fcmToken, onSuccess: () { print("registration Successful"); }, onError: () { print("error"); });}).onError((err) { // Error getting token.});

4. Create a onMessage listener to Firebase messaging which will give you events on every message received.

Hope this helps. Please do let us know in case you face any difficulties. We will be happy to help you in case any roadblocks are encountered.
