Frequently Asked Questions

iOS

IPushDelegate.OnReceived is not firing

Your push payload must include content-available: 1 for the delegate to fire. Without it, iOS treats the push as display-only and won’t wake your app.

I stopped receiving background notifications

Apple throttles silent pushes — you can only send 3–5 notifications per hour that contain content-available: 1. Regular display notifications still arrive, but the OnReceived delegate won’t fire for them unless Shiny is involved.

Android

IPushDelegate.OnReceived is not firing

Your push payload must include a data section. Firebase only triggers the delegate for data messages, not notification-only messages.

I’m not receiving notification content while the app is open

This is expected Android behavior. When a Firebase notification-only message arrives while the app is in the foreground, the system does not display it. Use a data message instead and build the notification yourself via AndroidPushNotification.

IPushDelegate.OnEntry is not firing when I tap a notification

Two things must be configured:

1. Set click_action in your push payload to match the intent filter.

2. Add the intent filter to your MainActivity:

[IntentFilter(
    new[] { Shiny.ShinyPushIntents.NotificationClickAction },
    Categories = new[] { "android.intent.category.DEFAULT" }
)]
public class MainActivity : MauiAppCompatActivity
{
}

Without both of these, Android won’t route the tap to Shiny’s delegate.
