How to Implement Push Notifications in Your Flutter App Using MQTT

In the world of mobile applications, real-time communication and notification are crucial for enhancing user experience. If you're developing a Flutter app that interacts with an MQTT broker, you might want users to be notified immediately when specific events occur—like a Raspberry Pi detecting movement. In this guide, we will explore how to send push notifications in a Flutter application whenever a message is received from an MQTT broker.

Understanding the Problem

You have successfully connected your Flutter app to an MQTT broker, subscribed to a specific topic, and are able to see the messages in the console log. However, the challenge arises when you want to notify users with a push notification every time a new message is received from the MQTT broker. You may have tried using the flutter_local_notifications package but found resources primarily focused on button-triggered notifications. This post aims to provide you with a clear solution to your problem.

Step-by-step Solution

1. Create a Notification Service

To begin, you need to create a notification service that can handle the display of notifications using the flutter_local_notifications package. This service is responsible for managing notifications in your Flutter application.

Here’s an example of how to implement a basic notification service:

2. Subscribe to MQTT Topic and Show Notifications

Next, modify your subscription function to include a call to your notification service whenever a new message is received. Here's how you can do that:

3. Explanation of Key Components

Notification Service Initialization: The NotificationService class initializes the local notifications with appropriate settings. Make sure to call this setup when your app runs.

Push Notification Call: Inside the client.updates?.listen callback, we invoke NotificationService().showNotification(), passing the required parameters like title and body to create a notification whenever a new message arrives.

4. Testing Your Implementation

Run Your Flutter App: Launch your app and ensure it connects to the MQTT broker successfully.

Simulate MQTT Messages: Publish test messages to the subscribed topic and observe if push notifications are triggered as expected.

Check for Notifications: Verify that the notifications appear on your device.

Conclusion

Implementing push notifications in your Flutter app using MQTT is not as daunting as it seems. By leveraging the flutter_local_notifications package and integrating it into your MQTT subscription logic, you can provide real-time notifications to users effectively.

This not only enhances user engagement but also ensures that critical events are communicated promptly.
