1413952 - consider using FLAG_RECEIVER_FOREGROUND intent flag when notification is clicked

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Web Apps (PWAs), enhancement, P2)

Description

[Ben Kelly [:bkelly, not reviewing]]

We've been struggling a bit with slow or intermittent notification clicks when firefox is not already running.  It appears chrome has seen a bit of this as well and the android team suggested they try a particular intent flag:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=764437#c22

We should consider using that flag as well when sending the intent from a push notification click.

Note, chromium is only doing this for android >= N:

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=764437#c29

"We understand what this behaviour does in cases where the Job
Scheduler is used to deliver Web Notification events, but aren't
sure of its behaviour on older versions of Android as it influences
the time we're allowed to run for. Limit it to >= Android N in
order to reduce the risk."
