Description

Hi;

When a notification is sent while the application is in the foreground, it crashes with the android.os.MessageQueue.nativePollOnce (Native method) error. There is no issue with the first notification; it arrives promptly. However, subsequent notifications experience delays. After a while, all pending notifications arrive simultaneously, leading to a crash of the application.

Additionally, notifications are sent via "firebase-admin".

This problem has increased a lot in the last 6-7 months and continues to cause a lot of anr. I am submitting the "Logs & Breadcrumbs" and "Stack trace" information I received from Firebase Crashlytics.

Number of anr received in the last 90 days (31K);

Packages

Reproducing the issue

1. Launch the application on an Android device.
2. Send multiple push notifications to the device within a short period.
3. Notice the delay in receiving subsequent notifications.
4. After some time, observe all pending notifications being delivered simultaneously, leading to a crash of the application.

Firebase Core version

2.21.0

[TarekkMA]

Can you upgrade you firebase plugins versions and try again and see if the issue still remains?

[Cengizhanerturan]

Can you upgrade you firebase plugins versions and try again and see if the issue still remains?

@TarekkMA Thanks for your answer.

I need to update the flutter version in order to update the firebase versions, and this requires application-wide editing. For this reason, it doesn't seem possible for me to try this.

However, I shared screenshots showing the anrs received by users and the situations in which these anrs were received. Don't you think these screenshots document that anr occurs when a notification is received?

[Cengizhanerturan]

When a notification is sent while the application is in the foreground, it crashes with the android.os.MessageQueue.nativePollOnce (Native method) error. There is no issue with the first notification; it arrives promptly. However, subsequent notifications experience delays. After a while, all pending notifications arrive simultaneously, leading to a crash of the application.

Also, apart from the problem I mentioned here, there may be another problem on the firebase_messaging side. As I mentioned before, there is a notification activation in all received anr and anr occurs after this notification activity.

[TarekkMA]

Can you make a reproduction repo where this issue is happening? just the code that causes this issue to happen.

@TarekkMA I cannot catch this problem, I am writing it here as a result of the notifications received by users using the application via Crashlytics.

@dfdgsdfg - thank you for locating the issue, it appears to be an underlying issue, possibly from firebase-android-sdk or even the android OS itself. Not much we can do about that on FlutterFire.

ANR (MessageQueue.nativePollOnce). The following are very helpful for solving firebase ANR. (1) GLSurfaceView will display ANR on Android 11. (I don't understand why this is related to firebase. ) https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/269158607 (2) You need to minimize the cold start time of the application as much as possible. https://medium.com/bumble-tech/how-we-achieved-a-6x-reduction-of-anrs-part-2-fixing-anrs-24fedf9a973f (3) My suggestion is not to use Firebase Crashlytics. The crash analysis of Google Play Console is sufficient for us to use. In poor network conditions, Crashlytics will block the main thread when the application first starts, increasing the cold start time by 3 seconds(This is to request a token.), and can also cause ANR(MessageQueue.nativePollOnce).

Whenever a notification is received it causes ANR this issue should resolved ASAP

I got the same error with

Got same issue. Any updates?

[alvarisi]

Hi i got similar issue, there is a fix in firebase native sdk. https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/4345

It may worth it to update into firebase_core 3.7.0 or 3.8.0 https://github.com/firebase/flutterfire/blob/firebase_core-v3.7.0/packages/firebase_core/firebase_core/android/gradle.properties

[Kircoo]

Same issue here... Any update?? firebase_core: ^3.9.0 firebase_messaging: ^15.1.6

[elkhalifte]

Same ANR problem with firebase_core: ^3.9.0 firebase_messaging: ^15.1.6 On devices (Galaxy note 10 lite - android 11 & Transsion Hot 11S & Xiaomi Redmi Note 10 - Android 12 ...)

there's same issue with firebase-sdk already existed https://github.com/firebase/firebase-unity-sdk/issues/671

[mhmzdev]

Facing similar issue, I'd say to push the issue w/ more reacts/thumbs up as this is important now:

[russellwheatley]

Has anyone been able to reproduce ANR reports from running locally? It should be possible from running in android studio using logcat I believe. Let me know if anyone was able to reproduce.

The stack trace makes it hard to diagnose as it doesn't point to anything in particular in the FlutterFire messaging plugin.

I am also curious if this is occurring on specific devices or android versions if you could provide those details.

Having a browse, it seems this is an issue for android Firebase in a number of different scenarios: https://github.com/search?q=repo%3Afirebase%2Ffirebase-android-sdk+at+android.os.MessageQueue.nativePollOnce%28Native+method%29&type=issues&p=1

Found this issue on issue tracker: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/230950647?pli=1

This stackoverflow issue has some possible root causes: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71478162/anr-at-android-os-messagequeue-nativepollonce

[PhantomRay]

This is a major issue. Happens to my flutter app in every few minutes in physical device, Android 14.

  firebase_core: 3.9.0
  firebase_messaging: 15.1.6

[PhantomRay]

Why my comment above is off-topic? I'm just confirming details on my side.

Now I also confirm that it's related to push notification. Every time when there is push notification coming in, the app will trigger ANR.

Same issue in Android 15.

[srushti0104]

Same issue here... Any update on this!! firebase_core: ^3.9.0 firebase_messaging: ^15.1.6

[hirosz]

@Cengizhanerturan I'm also experiencing this issue. How do you know it's caused by In-App Messaging? I recently disabled firebase_messaging, keeping only local notifications, and the problem still persists.

[PhantomRay]

It is quite evident that every time there is a push notification comes in, seconds later, ANR popup shows up.

[PhantomRay]

~~Gentlemen, while this is a tricky and painful issue to track the exact source of the problem, I've moved the code to Isolate.spawn and ANR disappeared!~~

[alihassan143]

Gentlemen, while this is a tricky and painful issue to track the exact source of the problem, I've moved the code to Isolate.spawn and ANR disappeared!

@PhantomRay Can you provide a sample of how you did that? I think you cannot call platform-specific code in an isolate spawn

[PhantomRay]

Indeed, it didn't work. Sorry about that. Had something to do with my testing cases.
