App being crashed: yukams.app.background_locator_2.IsolateHolderService.getNotification

[thebeliever18]

Hello,

In flutter,
I have used workmanager and background_locator_2 and stored location co-ordinates in sharedpreference
workmanager calls function of background_locator_2 in every 15 mins
background_locator_2 stores the location co-ordinates in every 5 mins
when app is terminated both workmanager and background_locator_2 both of them are working properly.
But after some days My app is being crashed and sending reports as:
yukams.app.background_locator_2.IsolateHolderService.getNotification
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

This error is mostly occuring in android version 11,12 and 13.
Please provide the solution.
Thanks

Are you sure that app notification permission is granted?

[thebeliever18]

Hello, @ramazancopur thanks for replying.
Yes I have added notification permission.
In this way.

FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin =
      FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin();
  flutterLocalNotificationsPlugin
      .resolvePlatformSpecificImplementation<
          AndroidFlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin>()
      ?.requestPermission();

requestPermission() here asks for the permission.

For Android 13 and higher we now need to add.

<manifest ...>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.POST_NOTIFICATIONS"/>
    <application ...>
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

According to official android documentation: (https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/notifications/notification-permission),
which I had not added earlier, but after seeing your comment I reviewed my code and added POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission in my AndroidManifest.xml file for Android 13 and higher.

For the versions below Android 13 requestPermission() is working fine.

I have uploaded the app in play store after adding POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission, will check the data of firebase crashlytics and will notify you soon.

Your comment was really helpful.
Thanks,

@thebeliever18 Did POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission resolve your issue?
