What to do with the INSTANCE_ID_EVENT action with Firebase 17.0.1?

Question

So now that the FirebaseInstanceIdService service is deprecated I'm unsure what to replace it with.

I previously had a service declared in the manifest like so:

        <service
            android:name=".fcm.FcmIdService">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </service>

And the service itself:

public class FcmIdService extends FirebaseInstanceIdService {

    @Override
    public void onTokenRefresh() {
        // Create notification channel.
        createFcmNotificationChannel();
    }

}

If I remove the service I no longer receive notifications so I'm assuming I have to replace it with something else.

Thanks.

EDIT: This question differs from the proposed duplicate question by also covering the manifest declaration of the affected services which is still unclear to me.

yes this question differs little bit. Since the other question linked does not have the action needed to be added in the manifest — Christlin Panneer, Jul 05 '18 at 08:06

Check this topic:

FirebaseInstanceIdService is deprecated

You have to replace it with:

public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {

        @Override
        public void onNewToken(String s) {
            super.onNewToken(s);
            Log.e("NEW_TOKEN",s);
        }

        @Override
        public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
            super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage);
        }
    }

And in manifest:

<service
    android:name=".MyFirebaseMessagingService"
    android:stopWithTask="false">
    <intent-filter>

        <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
    </intent-filter>
</service>

And if you want to get token somewhere in your project:

FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getInstanceId().addOnSuccessListener( MyActivity.this,  new OnSuccessListener<InstanceIdResult>() {
     @Override
     public void onSuccess(InstanceIdResult instanceIdResult) {
           String newToken = instanceIdResult.getToken();
           Log.e("newToken",newToken);

     }
 });

There is no need to use

<action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />

Hope it helps you

All you need in the manifest is this (note that the service doesn't need android:stopWithTask="false" since it defaults to false:

<service android:name=".MyFirebaseMessagingService">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
    </intent-filter>
</service>

And here's the rest of it in beautifully simple Kotlin...

To get the new token whenever it's refreshed:

class MyFirebaseMessagingService: FirebaseMessagingService() {

    override fun onNewToken(token: String?) {
        Log.d("FMS_TOKEN", token)
    }
    ...
}

To get the token from anywhere at runtime:

FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().instanceId.addOnSuccessListener {
    Log.d("FMS_TOKEN", it.token)
}
