Android Question Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException

[asales]

I get this error in Firebase Crashlytics, in some types of devices, like Itel A60, Tecno POP 7, TCL 10 SE:
Fatal Exception: android.app.RemoteServiceException:
Context.startForegroundService() did not then call Service.startForeground(): ServiceRecord{c020b05 u0 br.com.apps.profileapp/.firebasemessaging}

Is a B4XPages app and I use the original code from Firebase Push Notifications 2023+.

I check this thread Automatic Foreground Mode and it uses this code to Service_Start:

Sub Service_Start (StartingIntent As Intent)
   fm.HandleIntent(StartingIntent)
   Sleep(0) 'allow the MessageReceived event to be raised.
   Service.StopAutomaticForeground
End Sub

Can I use the same approach ("new code") to Receiver_Receive? Could be a soluction?

Private Sub Receiver_Receive (FirstTime As Boolean, StartingIntent As Intent)
    'original code
    If FirstTime Then
        fm.Initialize("fm")
    End If
    fm.HandleIntent(StartingIntent)

   'new code
   Sleep(0)
   Service.StopAutomaticForeground
End Sub

Thanks in advance for any tips.

FirebaseMessaging should be a receiver, not a service: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-firebase-push-notifications-2023.148715/#content

The FirebaseMessaging in all my apps are a receiver (based in this example) and I get the error message in Crashlytics.
I just want to know If I use this code in receiver could solved the problem?

Sleep(0)
Service.StopAutomaticForeground

It looks like they are running an older version of your app where firebasemessaging is still a service.
