Hello

In My project, everything works properly but I did not get push notifications. I am also configuring a push notification provider in the dashboard but not getting push notifications. In the dashboard click on Test Push Configuration button and add Configuration and user id then click on the test notification button that time getting the result below but nor receive the push notification in the device.

Could you share with us how you are configuring Push Notification on the ChatClient?
Here you can find the Push Notification Docs Section that will guide you how to configure PN in your ChatClient

Hello @JcMinarro

PushNotification configuring Code

fun init(apiKey: String) {
        val notificationHandler = NotificationHandlerFactory.createNotificationHandler(
            context = context,
            newMessageIntent = {
                    messageId: String,
                    channelType: String,
                    channelId: String,
                ->
                Intent(context, HomeActivity::class.java).apply {
                    putExtra(EXTRA_CHANNEL_ID, channelId)
                    putExtra(EXTRA_CHANNEL_TYPE, channelType)
                    putExtra(EXTRA_MESSAGE_ID, messageId)
                }
            }
        )

        val offlinePlugin = StreamOfflinePluginFactory(
            Config(
                backgroundSyncEnabled = true,
                userPresence = true,
                persistenceEnabled = true,
                useSequentialEventHandler = true
            ),
            context
        )
        val notificationConfig =
            NotificationConfig(
                true,
                pushDeviceGenerators = listOf(
                    FirebasePushDeviceGenerator(providerName = PROVIDER_NAME)
                ),
                shouldShowNotificationOnPush = { true }
            )
        ChatClient.Builder(apiKey, context)
            .notifications(notificationConfig, notificationHandler)
            .logLevel(if (BuildConfig.DEBUG) ChatLogLevel.ALL else ChatLogLevel.NOTHING)
            .withPlugin(offlinePlugin)
            .debugRequests(true)
            .build()
    }

Above Init method call in MyApplication class

I spent 20h of researching and then I figured out that I have to call the init method in MyApplication class... I am curious why?

Hello @lukicmarko
The ChatClient needs to be initialized before the SDK handles the Push Notification to access the Stream Server and obtain all required data about the new message received.
The easiest way (If you don't want to implement your BroadcastReceiver) is initializing it into the Application class to ensure it is ready to be used when the SDK requires this data.
It is already detailed in the documentation
