Flutter Firebase notification does not trigger onMessageOpenedApp

Question

I'm implementing code for notification navigation after user press on notification. Below is my code.

FirebaseMessaging.instance
      .getInitialMessage()
      .then((RemoteMessage? message) {
    if (message != null) {
      handleNavigationToScreen(message);
    }
  });

  FirebaseMessaging.onMessageOpenedApp.listen((RemoteMessage message) {
    handleNavigationToScreen(message);
  });

Code is working when application is killed or in background. The problem that i have is when application is in foreground and receive notification.

In this case i handle notification with:

FirebaseMessaging.onMessage.listen(showFlutterNotification);
void showFlutterNotification(RemoteMessage message) async {
 flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.show(
      notification.hashCode,
      notification.title,
      notification.body,
      NotificationDetails(
        android: AndroidNotificationDetails(
          channel.id,
          channel.name,
          channelDescription: channel.description,
          styleInformation: bigPictureStyleInformation,
          icon: '@mipmap/ic_launcher',
        ),
      ),
    );
}

The problem is when i press on notification that was shown with "flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.show", is not trigged FirebaseMessaging.onMessageOpenedApp.listen.

Is there any other way to get callback on notification press to handle screen navigation.

Thanks

Before showing notifications in the foreground, you need to call the following methods :

await Firebase.initializeApp();
FirebaseMessaging.onBackgroundMessage(_firebaseMessagingBackgroundHandler);
configLocalNotification();

static void configLocalNotification() {
  var initializationSettingsAndroid = const AndroidInitializationSettings("@mipmap/ic_launcher");
  var initializationSettingsIOS = const DarwinInitializationSettings();

  var initializationSettings = InitializationSettings(
    android: initializationSettingsAndroid,
    iOS: initializationSettingsIOS,
  );

  flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin.initialize(
    initializationSettings,
    onDidReceiveNotificationResponse: (NotificationResponse notificationResponse) {
      onSelectNotification(notificationResponse.payload ?? '');
    }
  );
}

static onSelectNotification(String payload) async {
  var message = jsonDecode(payload);
  var remoteMessage = RemoteMessage.fromMap({'data': message});
  handleNavigationToScreen(remoteMessage);
}
