How to prevent a notification from showing

[rlee1990]

I need help preventing a notification from showing when it is for a call notification. I tried checking for certain data in onPushReceived and displaying the call notification but the Airship notification still shows also.

handleNotificationReceived(PushReceivedEvent event) {
    if (event.pushPayload.extras['messageType'] != null &&
        event.pushPayload.extras['messageType'] == 'videoCall') {
      final data = CallNotificationDataModel.fromJson(
          event.pushPayload.extras['messageData']);
      CallServices().startReceivedCall(data);
      return;
    } else {
      log('Message received: ${event.pushPayload}');
    }
  }

Hello, I'm not sure to understand why you would want to prevent the display of an Airship notification. Could you give us some more context about your use case please ? Also, have you considered using silent notifications ? https://docs.airship.com/platform/mobile/push/getting-started/?groupid=flutter#silent-notifications

@Ulrico972 so what I want to do is display a call screen when the app is in the foreground or background anytime a notification with a certain data type is received. A silent notification wouldn't work since they are not always delivered.
