ntfy

I wantes to test unified push again. i have auth turned off for only this "topic" so that no token is required to be passed. i monitor ntfy at the topic generated by BB and i get hits for every message, but no notification from BB. Checking the server logs in the server i get:

In the apps logs I get the attached log file. looks like a lot of errors pertaining to MissingPluginException for the method create-notification-channel on the method channel com.bluebubbles.messaging

Are any of there errors fixable to restore unified push? logs.txt

This is likelier the reason why it doesn't work: The BlueBubbles app's AndroidManifest.xml does not mark the UnifiedPushReceiver as exported="true", which is required starting from Android 12 (API 31) and strictly enforced in Android 13+ (API 33+).

<receiver
    android:name=".UnifiedPushReceiver"
    android:permission="org.unifiedpush.android.permission.RECEIVE">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="org.unifiedpush.android.connector.MESSAGE"/>
    </intent-filter>
</receiver>

This lacks:

android:exported="true" (required for system-delivered broadcasts)

android:enabled="true" (optional, but sometimes good for clarity)

Why This Breaks in Android 14+

Since Android 12, every component that receives implicit intents must declare android:exported explicitly. Without this, Android 13+ will silently ignore the receiver, breaking UnifiedPush message delivery.

+1 same issue Android LineageOS 23.0 (Android 16). UnifiedPush topic gets hit and sends it to BlueBubblesApp, but bluebubbles fails to pop up the notification. In logcat:

MissingPluginException (No implementation found for method create-notification-channel on channel com.bluebubbles.messaging)
