Summary

Phase 3, task T3.2 of docs/PUSH_NOTIFICATIONS.md (§7.2). Completes PR-3a (#472, merged): 3a makes the sender ring the peer, this makes the peer's device show it.

The server's trade_update push carries its own notification block, which the OS renders. A peer's chat_wake (the /api/notify that PR-3a sends) is data-only and renders nothing, so a backgrounded device woke silently. The background handler now shows one notice itself.

  • Content-free: title appName ("Mostro"), body "You have a new message", localized. It never names a trade, a peer or the message.
  • In the app's language, read from settings.language with the same rule the settings provider applies: region stripped, then the first supported device locale, then English. New key pushNewMessageBody in all five locales.
  • Off when "New messages" is off in notification settings (notify_new_messages), and also when preferences cannot be read. Preferences are reloaded on every delivery, because the background isolate can outlive one and keep a stale value. The wake flag is still set, so the resume still resyncs.
  • One notice, not a stack: fixed id and tag (mostro-chat) on the app's mostro_notifications channel, so a burst of wakes replaces a single notice.
  • A tap opens Notifications, warm and cold. FCM's open callbacks never see a notification the app rendered itself, so the plugin's response callback and launch details cover it.
  • Still display-only. The handler writes nothing but the wake flag. The existing import-boundary test still holds (no bridge, database, Riverpod, router or dart:io), and a test keeps the duplicated preference keys equal to the ones Settings writes.
  • A trade_update is left alone: the OS already shows the server's notification.

Merged with main: the conflict in local_notifications.dart keeps main's order (channel created before the plugin is initialised, each in its own try), and the now-committed app_localizations*.dart are regenerated.

Test plan

  • Tests with an injected renderer: one notice in the stored language (es-MX → Spanish), device-locale fallback for an unset or unshipped language (then English), silent when the toggle is off (flag still set), nothing for trade_update, a failing renderer never breaks the handler, and the duplicated preference keys match Settings.
  • flutter gen-l10n, flutter analyze clean, flutter test test/features/notifications test/features/settings green.
  • Not unit-tested: the preferences reload() (the in-memory mock resets the singleton on every setMockInitialValues, so a test would pass without it) and the tap routing (platform plugin). Covered by manual steps 5, 7 and 8.

Manual testing

  1. Check out the branch and run the app on device A and device B, both with push granted, in an active trade with each other.
  2. On B, set the app language to Spanish and press Home.
  3. On A, send a chat message. Expect on B a notification "Mostro — Tienes un mensaje nuevo", with no trade, peer or text in it.
  4. On A, send three more messages quickly. Expect B to still show a single notice, not four.
  5. With B still in the background, tap the notice. Expect the app to open on Notifications.
  6. On B, go to Settings → Notifications and turn off "New messages". Press Home, send another message from A. Expect no notice, and on resume the log line [lifecycle] a push woke the app followed by a resync.
  7. Turn the toggle back on without restarting B, press Home, and send a message from A. Expect the notice again (the background isolate reads the new value).
  8. Swipe B out of recents, send a message from A, and tap the notice. Expect the app to launch on Notifications.
  9. Have A move the trade forward instead of chatting. Expect only the server's "You have an update on your trade" notification, not a second "new message" one.

The server's trade_update push carries its own notification; a peer's
chat_wake carries none, so a backgrounded device woke silently. The
background handler now shows one content-free "new message" notice on
the app's channel, in the stored language, with a fixed id and tag so a
burst replaces one notice. Off when message notifications are off. The
handler still writes nothing but the wake flag; the decision is tested
with an injected renderer, and the duplicated preference keys are held
equal to the ones Settings writes. New key pushNewMessageBody in five
locales.

Walkthrough

Adds localized, preference-gated notifications for chat_wake pushes. Refactors local notification initialization and background wake handling. Tests cover language fallback, filtering, errors, wake-state recording, and preference keys.

Changes

Chat wake notification flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local notification rendering
lib/features/notifications/services/local_notifications.dart
Adds fixed chat-wake notification identifiers, shared plugin initialization, and high-priority notification rendering.
Background push routing and localization
lib/features/notifications/services/push_background_handler.dart, lib/l10n/app_*.arb
Routes only chat_wake payloads to the injected notification callback, checks the new-message preference, records wake state, normalizes languages, and adds translations.
Background flow validation
test/features/notifications/services/push_background_handler_test.dart
Tests localization, fallback behavior, preference gating, payload filtering, callback errors, wake-state recording, and preference-key alignment.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1f9bb

Users who disabled new-message notifications can still receive a chat-wake notice when preferences cannot be loaded. This privacy-setting bypass should be corrected before merge.

Use the resolved localization instance for the notification title.

handleBackgroundWake runs in a background isolate, so AppLocalizations.of(context) is not available. It already resolves l10n with lookupAppLocalizations(...). Use the ARB-defined appName instead of a hard-coded user-facing literal.

Proposed fix
-    await show('Mostro', l10n.pushNewMessageBody);
+    await show(l10n.appName, l10n.pushNewMessageBody);

Comment thread lib/features/notifications/services/push_background_handler.dart Outdated
Conflict in local_notifications.dart: main now creates the channel before
initialising the plugin, each in its own try; the chat-wake notice keeps
its shared _initialize(). The generated l10n files, now committed on main,
are regenerated for pushNewMessageBody.

Review round 1 (Codex, CodeRabbit):
- Reload SharedPreferences in the background handler, whose isolate can
  outlive a delivery and keep a stale toggle or language.
- Stay silent when preferences cannot be read.
- Title from l10n.appName instead of a literal.
- Unset or unsupported language falls back to the first supported device
  locale, as Settings does, before English.
- A tap on the locally rendered notice opens Notifications, warm (plugin
  response callback) and cold (launch details): FCM sees neither.
