Let’s see the implementation of Firebase In-App Messaging.

Steps:

1. Add dependencies

// ...
dependencies {
    // ...

    // Add the In-App Messaging depencency:
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-inappmessaging-display:17.0.0'

    // Check that your Firebase dependency is up-to-date:
    implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-core:16.0.1'
}

2. Get Firebase Instance ID ( for testing)

Print your firebase instance ID on test mobile with following code

Log.d("Instance ID",FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getId());

3. Go to In-App Messaging console

• Once there, click New Campaign.
• Enter a Title for your first message.
• Select UI among three styles ( Modal, Image, Banner) and customize colors as per need
• Set Matter -Title, Body, and Image Url
• Click Test on your Device
• Enter your app’s Instance ID in the Add an instance ID field.
• Click Test to send the message.

Note: If you want to test, there is one problem. You have to get a fresh Firebase Instance ID from code and then add it to the test device instance ID in the console and after a click on the Test button, you should kill your app and then REOPEN it to get the result

And then at last Click on Test and see the output
