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);

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?

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.

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