FCM Reg ID is empty

Question

I am trying to implement FCM push notification. I am getting an empty FCM id. Here is my code:

This is my manifest

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.jainsupplier">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<application
    android:allowBackup="true"
    android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:supportsRtl="true"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
    <meta-data
        android:name="com.google.android.gms.version"
        android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version" />
    <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity android:name=".Home1" />
    <activity android:name=".Detail"></activity>

</application>

This is my InstanceIdService

package com.jainsupplier;

import android.content.Intent;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.support.v4.content.LocalBroadcastManager;
import android.util.Log;

import com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceId;
import com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdService;

public class MyFirebaseInstanceIDService extends FirebaseInstanceIdService {
private static final String TAG =     MyFirebaseInstanceIDService.class.getSimpleName();

@Override
public void onTokenRefresh() {
    super.onTokenRefresh();
    String refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();
    Log.d(TAG,"token no"+refreshedToken);
    // Saving reg id to shared preferences
    storeRegIdInPref(refreshedToken);

    // sending reg id to your server
    sendRegistrationToServer(refreshedToken);

    // Notify UI that registration has completed, so the progress indicator can be hidden.
    Intent registrationComplete = new Intent(Config.REGISTRATION_COMPLETE);
    registrationComplete.putExtra("token", refreshedToken);
    LocalBroadcastManager.getInstance(this).sendBroadcast(registrationComplete);
}

private void sendRegistrationToServer(final String token) {
    // sending gcm token to server
    Log.e(TAG, "sendRegistrationToServer: " + token);
}

private void storeRegIdInPref(String token) {
    SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(Config.SHARED_PREF, 0);
    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();
    editor.putString("regId", token);
    editor.commit();
}
}

Please help me to solve this error.

Answer 1

Add this to your manifest in application tag:

 <!-- [START firebase_service] -->
        <service android:name="com.jainsupplier.MyFirebaseMessagingService">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
        <!-- [END firebase_service] -->
        <!-- [START firebase_iid_service] -->
        <service android:name="com.jainsupplier.MyFirebaseInstanceIDService">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
            </intent-filter>
        </service>
        <!-- [END firebase_iid_service] -->

And don't forget to have this in your app level build.gradle:

defaultConfig {
    applicationId "com.jainsupplier"
    ...
    ...
}

Answer 2

onTokenRefresh() will only be called in events like app reinstall..etc. It is not called every time you launch the app that's the reason you are not getting the token.

You should rather try this:

*//make this method public static so that you can call it from onCreate() of main activity or from anywhere you want and it will do it's job.*
        public static void storeRegIdInPref() { 

//get old token in this method itself
String token = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();

SharedPreferences pref = getApplicationContext().getSharedPreferences(Config.SHARED_PREF, 0); 

    SharedPreferences.Editor editor = pref.edit();

    editor.putString("regId", token); 

    editor.commit(); }

Do let me know if it changes anything for you.
