Firebase Expandable Notification Show image when app is in background

Question

I am implementing FCM notifications in Android, but how does notifications differ depending on the app status (background vs. foreground)?

Answer 1

If your problem is related to showing Big Image i.e. if you are sending push notification with an image from firebase console and it displays the image only if the app in the foreground. The solution for this problem is to send a push message with only data field.

{ "data": { "image": "https://static.pexels.com/photos/4825/red-love-romantic-flowers.jpg", "message": "Firebase Push Message Using API" "AnotherActivity": "True" }, "to" : "device id Or Device token" }

This definitely solves the problem.
