Flutter Notifications

Priority: P1 (OPERATIONAL)

Implementation Workflow

1. Set up packages — Add firebase_messaging (Push) and flutter_local_notifications (Local/Foreground).
2. Request permission — Prime users with custom dialog explaining benefits before system prompt.
3. Handle all lifecycle states — Implement handlers for Foreground, Background, and Terminated states.
4. Validate payloads — Strictly validate notification data before navigating to screens.
5. Clear badges — Manually clear iOS app badges when visiting relevant screens.

Lifecycle Handlers Example

See implementation examples for foreground, background, and terminated state notification handling.
