There are two types of FCM Messages:

Display Messages - The notifications received in background and the data payload goes to System Tray for which apparently I have no way of receiving data unless User interacts with the notification itself.
Data Messages - The data received when app is in foreground and onMessageRecieved service event is called. I save that in a database on my android device and is available from there at anytime.

Does this mean that if user dismisses the notification, when app is in background, I have no way of receiving the sent data? Can I still save it in a local android phone database from there or do I have to make an explicit (some other method) server call to my app server for the remaining data?

If not, does FCM extend to this extent? Overriding handleIntent is a method but not recommended and it is final now so no chance there, I guess.

Also, is there a better solution other than FCM if none of the above is applicable?

@TimCastelijns is there a way to know if app is in foreground or background based at data/notification received? – Mashal Rashid Apr 15 '18 at 17:13
