Error broadcast intent callback: result=CANCELLED forIntent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE pkg=com.flagg327.guicomaipu (has extras) }

I'm receiving that error from Android Studio's Android Monitor. This error appears when I send a push notification through GCM, in a real device, and the app has not been started yet or has been forced to stop. Yesterday all works fine, today is not working at all (works only if the app is running in background or foreground).

I think this may be an AndroidManifest error, but I'm tired of looking for the problem and can not find anything.

TokenRefreshListenerService.java

The registration 'tokens' updates every day. It because that, each Android app that uses GCM must have an InstanceIDListenerService that manages those updates.

public class TokenRefreshListenerService extends InstanceIDListenerService{

    @Override
    public void onTokenRefresh() {
        // Launch the registration process.
        Intent i = new Intent(this, RegistrationService.class);
        startService(i);
    }
}

NotificacionsListenerService.java

GCM automatically shows up the push notifications, but only if the associated app has a GCMListenerService

public class NotificacionsListenerService extends GcmListenerService {

    @Override
    public void onMessageReceived(String from, Bundle data) {
        Log.d("A", "onMessageReceived()");

        // Do something

    }
}

RegistrationService.java

GCM identifies the Android devices using registration cards('tokens').My app should be able to register from each Android device on which it is installed.

public class RegistrationService extends IntentService {

    /**
     * Constructor
     */
    public RegistrationService() {
        super("RegistrationService");
    }

    @Override
    protected void onHandleIntent(Intent intent) {
        // Generate or download the registration 'token'.
        InstanceID myID = InstanceID.getInstance(this);

        String registrationToken = null;
        try {
            // Get the registration 'token'.
            registrationToken = myID.getToken(
                    getString(R.string.gcm_defaultSenderId),
                    GoogleCloudMessaging.INSTANCE_ID_SCOPE,
                    null
            );

            // Subscribe to a topic. The app is able now to receive notifications from this topic.
            GcmPubSub subscription = GcmPubSub.getInstance(this);
            subscription.subscribe(registrationToken, "/topics/guico_maipu_topic", null);
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        Log.e("Registration Token", registrationToken);
    }
}

Error

This error appears when I send a push notification via python.

Yesterday was working... Any idea? Than you for your time.


Solution 1:

Since none of answers provide official link, I decided to ask firebase team and got official answer from them

It looks like you have an issue when your app is force stopped or killed. Actually, this is working as intended. The Android framework advises that apps that have been stopped (i.e. killed/force-stopped from Settings) should not be started without explicit user interaction. FCM follows this recommendation and thus its services will not start as well. This also means that messages will not be received (FirebaseMessagingService will not be called) when the app is in "killed" state. Here are some useful links so you could have a better understanding on this topic: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/android-3.1#launchcontrols https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-android/issues/368#issuecomment-343567506

In sum:

  • the app is killed by user (from settings/force stop) will be marked with a flag that won't able to auto trigger any service included firebase message service. This is not the same with the app is killed by the system or swipe from recent app.
  • However, on some ROMs from VIVO or ONEPLUS, swipe feature (click recent app button/swipe) is wrongly implemented to be similar with settings/force stop. That caused firebase message service is not able to start.
  • The issue has been raised here and in many places. The FCM team is aware of the issue and is working on it

NOTE: even the question is about GCM, but FCM throw exact the same error in the question title.

Solution 2:

I got the same Error

09-13 21:21:44.800 1851-1851/? W/GCM-DMM: broadcast intent callback: result=CANCELLED forIntent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE pkg=com.XXX.XXX (has extras) }

after killing the app.

After some research I realized, that this is only a "Debug-Issue". A "signed APK" handles the broadcast correctly even if the app has been shut down.

Hope it helps!

Solution 3:

After digging into why this happens, it appears that it happens if you kill the app from Android Studio.

If you open the app from the launcher and swipe it away, your app will still receive notifications.

(Tested on OnePlus One with FCM not GCM)
