@viky293 @subhomoy92 did you add another plugin? I am facing this issue because I use cordova google analytics with this plugin. After I remove cordova google analytics, this plugin just work fine even I cant track my apps use

[subhomoy92]

yes @hamzahppa i have these plugins cordova-music-player-controls cordova-plugin-device cordova-plugin-admobpro cordova-plugin-splashcreen cordova-plugin-network-information cordova-plugin-statusbar

and 2 others i cant remember right now.

It was working good before i add the FCM plugin. If i remove the FCM plugin, it works fine.

Thank you. Any help will be appreciated.
