I am having some problems with FirebaseMessagingServices.
I have a project with two apps, where we can send data messages (notification with payloads) from one app to another. They are working fine when they are in foreground and when they are in background they receive messages but only upto 30min of interval.
I mean to say is if the app is killed, after around 30min or an hour it doesnt receive messages. I think they are disconnecting from Firebase after 30 minutes and i dont want that to happen . If it is disconnecting, then it should reconnect to Firebase itself untill there is internet connection in mobile.
I researched a lot and finally landed on BROADCAST receivers. They work even if the app is killed. So how can i use Broadcast receivers to reconnect with Firebase as soon as they are disconnected?
Here are my classes:
MyFirebaseMessaging
public class MyFirebaseMessaging extends FirebaseMessagingService {
@Override
public void onMessageReceived(final RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
if (remoteMessage.getData() != null) {
Map<String, String> data = remoteMessage.getData();
String title = data.get("title");
final String companyName = data.get("CompanyName");
final String BookingIdC = data.get("BookingIdC");
final String BookingIdT = data.get("BookingIdT");
final String companyPhone = data.get("CompanyPhone");
final String companyRates = data.get("CompanyRates");
final String companyId = data.get("CompanyId");
final String Date = data.get("Date");
final String companyIdC = data.get("companyIdC");
final String Time = data.get("Time");
final String Id = data.get("Id");
final String Address = data.get("Address");
final String Bookingid = data.get("Bookingid");
final String TimeCB = data.get("TimeCB");
final String DateCB = data.get("DateCB");
final String EventType = data.get("EventType");
final String messageCB = data.get("messageCB");
final String AddressCB = data.get("AddressCB");
final String companythatcancelledthebooking = data.get("CompanyNamethatcancelledthebooking");
final String message = data.get("message");
// remoteMessage.getNotification().getTitle() = title and remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody() = message
if (title != null && title.equals("Cancel")) {

I need help implementing a BroadcastReciever in between a service and a activity (FirebaseMesssaging Services --> Broadcastreceiver --> Activity).
What i want is , app should be connected to FirebaseMessagingServices 24/7 (even when the app is killed and dead for hours) just like Whatsapp or Uber or youtube app, they send notifications even when i killed them for some hours ago.
Not that i want help only from Broadcasts; If there is any other way to do it please share it with me.
