Missing Default Notification Channel Metadata in AndroidManifest

When developing an Android application, you can customize various aspects of how notifications are handled and displayed to the user. One important aspect is the notification channels, which allow you to categorize and manage different types of notifications.

By default, Android requires you to define at least one default notification channel in your AndroidManifest.xml file. This default channel is used for displaying notifications that don’t specify an explicit channel.

If you encounter the error message “Missing default notification channel metadata in AndroidManifest. Default value will be used,” it means that your AndroidManifest.xml file is missing the required metadata for the default notification channel.

Example:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">

    <application
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
        
        <!-- Other application components -->
        
        <!-- Define the default notification channel -->
        <meta-data
            android:name="com.google.firebase.messaging.default_notification_channel_id"
            android:value="@string/default_notification_channel_id" />
    </application>
</manifest>

In this example, the meta-data element is used to define the default notification channel. The android:name attribute specifies the name of the metadata, while the android:value attribute points to the resource ID of the default notification channel.

Make sure you have defined the default notification channel in your AndroidManifest.xml file. The value for the default notification channel ID can be specified in your strings.xml or any other resource file.
