Push Notifications

Firebase configuration

To enable push notifications, set up Firebase Cloud Messaging in your own Firebase project and share the credentials with MeetingLawyers:

1. Create (or open) your Firebase project at Firebase Console and register your Android app with its package name.
2. Download the google-services.json and add it to your Android project (app/ module). The Gradle plugins and the firebase-messaging dependency are in Installation.
3. In Project settings → Service accounts, click Generate new private key and send the downloaded JSON file to support@meetinglawyers.com (treat it as a credential — keep it out of source control and send it via secure email, e.g. as a password-protected archive).

Push notifications

After providing the service account file, forward FCM messages and token refreshes to the SDK. The SDK sends the current token itself when the user authenticates.

class ExampleMessagingService : FirebaseMessagingService() {
   override fun onMessageReceived(remoteMessage: RemoteMessage) {
       super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage)

        val data = remoteMessage.data["data"] ?: return
        val client = MeetingLawyersSDK.getClientInstance()

        if (client.isMeetingLawyersPushMessage(data)) {
            client.onPushMessageReceived(data)
        } else {
            // Not a MeetingLawyers push — handle it with your own logic
        }
   }

    override fun onNewToken(newToken: String) {
        super.onNewToken(newToken)

        /* Register new push token */
        MeetingLawyersSDK.getClientInstance().onNewTokenReceived(newToken)
    }
}

Register the service inside <application> in AndroidManifest.xml:

AndroidManifest.xml

<service android:name=".ExampleMessagingService" android:exported="false">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
    </intent-filter>
</service>

The SDK already filters its own messages internally, so calling onPushMessageReceived without the isMeetingLawyersPushMessage guard is also safe — the explicit check just makes the branching clearer when you also handle non-MeetingLawyers pushes.
