🐛 [firebase_messaging] Missing support for communication notifications (dynamic icon avatar)

[fullflash]

Hi. it seems firebase service or client side plugin has no support for push notifications with dynamic icon. Like you can see in slack whatsapp the users avatar instead of application icon.

Did not find anything in docs.

Will there be a support ?

@fullflash Take a look at this link and see if it helps.

Yes but you cannot release an app with users avatar all the time) It should be dynamic like whatsapp does And this is push notifications should be natively implemented inside plugin.

I am not sure what this means. I couldn't find any reference for such request in native SDK as well.

And this is push notifications should be natively implemented inside plugin.

Do you mean at Dart side or native (Android or iOS) ?

Hi. this is communication notifications request like in many communication apps. there is a ios plugin https://github.com/lambiengcode/ios_communication_notification also you can see the apple docs https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/implementing_communication_notifications

Everyone is using whatsapp and you can see the senders avatar in push notifications for android and ios platforms.

P.S it is a feature like notification service but it is for using custom avatar you can see in the apple docs.

@fullflash Since the plugin is a thin wrapper around native SDK, I think the said feature will need to be implemented at native side which the client side can leverage.
