Android characteristicNotified only notifies on last chunk of characteristic notification stream?

[justinfriberg]

We're observing a BLE GNSS device notification characteristic that returns a chunk of data every second. This data is generally larger than the MTU (over 514 bytes). On iOS, we get notified each time an MTU chunk is reached. On Android, we only get partial amount, which appears to be the size of whatever is in the last chunk (decoding the bytes bears this out). Not seeing any configuration outside of the requestMTU call to fix this.

Code:

        if (Platform.isAndroid) {
          await centralManager.requestMTU(device.peripheral, mtu: 517).catchError((_) => 0);
        }

        final characteristicStreamSubscription = centralManager.characteristicNotified.listen((eventArgs) {
          print(eventArgs.value.lengthInBytes);
        }
