Android Question [B4XPages] [SOLVED] How to ShowPage after FirebaseMessage Arrived?

I've been trying to show a page after firebase message is received. Depending on the active page, a real time update needs to be updated on the xui listview.

Thing is, this is not working... For example, if the message contains gps coordinates and the active page is myloc, the page will show the point on the map.

If B4XPages.IsInitialized Then
            B4XPages.MainPage.UpdateBadge
            LogColor("Determining the active page...", Colors.Cyan)
            Dim ap As String = B4XPages.MainPage.ActivePage
            Log(ap)
            
            Select Case ap
            Case "pg1"
                B4XPages.ShowPage("pg1")
            Case "myloc"   
                Main.FromNotification = True
                Main.NotificationPosition = data
                B4XPages.ShowPage("myloc")
            End Select
            LogColor("Did the page show?", Colors.Magenta)
        End If

I am logginx B4xPages event logs...

myloc page has a GoogleMap...

The second scenario is an update of a xui listview is the page is pg1, dololo.

Can one advise how to manage this?

Thanks

If the app is in the background then it is not simple to move it to the foreground. It requires a special permission (draw over screen).
If you do have the permission then you can call StartActivity(Main) to bring the main activity with all the pages to the foreground.

Phew, I wasn't aware that its such complicated a task?

Anyway, is the solution you have indicated here, https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/draw-on-top-of-other-apps-permission.90513/#content

the way to go or is there something easier?

Yes. The user needs to explicitly allow your app.

There is a working example here I've found, will implement and see, https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/autostart-not-working-on-android-10.118639/post-743834
