Call notification in Android

we have some issues in getting call notifications in Android when the application is in the background. Most of the time notification is not coming.

we are using the following code

public static void showCallNotifcation(Context context, Call call) {
try {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
int REQUEST_CODE = 12;
int m = (int) ((new Date().getTime()));
String GROUP_ID = “group_id”;
String receiverName="",callType,receiverAvatar="",receiverUid="";

            if (call.getReceiverType().equals(CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_USER) && call.getSender().getUid().equals(CometChat.getLoggedInUser().getUid()))
            {
                receiverUid = ((User)call.getCallReceiver()).getUid();
                receiverName = ((User)call.getCallReceiver()).getName();

Hi,

Based on the code you shared, it seems like you are using Intent to launch activity “IncomingCallActivity” whenever “Answer” or “Decline” action is clicked. Since you are not using the BroadCast Receiver “CallNotificationAction” that you have mentioned in your code you might not receive notification in the background due to app restrictions.

We suggest you to please refer to our push notification sample app mentioned in below link.

Hi @VijayZ,

I hope the information shared by Darshan was helpful. I am closing out this ticket due to inactivity. Please feel free to write to us at help@cometchat.com if you require any further assistance.

Regards,
Rahul
