make flutter notification (via firebase) pop to foreground (and not to be only icon in statusbar)

Question

I am trying to implement notifications for a flutter app.

On iPhone (left) it looks like expected and the notification is show for a short time, then hides automatically.

But on Android (right side, Android 9, motorola) it appears just as an icon in the status bar. How can i make it pop up? Right now I have to swipe down on it to see the contents.

The notification is send via Firebase with their PHP-Sdk.

$serviceAccount = ServiceAccount::fromJsonFile('....');

$firebase = (new Factory)
    ->withServiceAccount($serviceAccount);
$messaging = $firebase->createMessaging();

$title = 'Test Titel '.date('YmdHis');
$body = 'Meine Nachricht '.date('YmdHis');
$colkey = 'newmessagtenoti';
$count = 23;

$message = new RawMessageFromArray([
        'notification' => [
            // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/fcm/rest/v1/projects.messages#notification
            'title' => $title,
            'body' => $body,
        ],
        'data' => [
            'key_1' => 'Value 1',
            'key_2' => 'Value 2',
        ],

        'android' => [
            // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/fcm/rest/v1/projects.messages#androidconfig
            'ttl' => '3600s',
            'priority' => 'high',
            "collapse_key"=> $colkey,

            'notification' => [
                'notification_priority' => 'PRIORITY_MAX',
                'visibility' => 'PUBLIC',
                'title' => $title,
                'body' => $body,
                'notification_count' => $count,
            ],
        ],
        'apns' => [
            // https://firebase.google.com/docs/reference/fcm/rest/v1/projects.messages#apnsconfig
            'headers' => [
                'apns-priority' => '10',
            ],
            'payload' => [
                'aps' => [
                    'alert' => [
                        'title' => $title,
                        'body' => $body,
                    ],
                    'badge' => $count,
                    'apns-collapse-id' =>  $colkey,
                ],
            ],
        ],

    ]);

// $firebase->getMessaging()->send($message);
$report = $messaging->sendMulticast($message, $deviceTokens);

echo 'Successful sends: '.$report->successes()->count().PHP_EOL;
echo 'Failed sends: '.$report->failures()->count().PHP_EOL;

if ($report->hasFailures()) {
    foreach ($report->failures()->getItems() as $failure) {
        echo $failure->error()->getMessage().PHP_EOL;
    }
}

I read all documentation but even with high priority it does not get bigger.

I guess i am missing something in the code for Android. Maybe in "AndroidManifest.xml"?

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.flut7_push">

    <!-- io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication is an android.app.Application that
         calls FlutterMain.startInitialization(this); in its onCreate method.
         In most cases you can leave this as-is, but you if you want to provide
         additional functionality it is fine to subclass or reimplement
         FlutterApplication and put your custom class here. -->
    <application
        android:name="io.flutter.app.FlutterApplication"
        android:label="flut7_push"
        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher">
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"

            android:hardwareAccelerated="true"
            android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize">
            <!-- This keeps the window background of the activity showing
                 until Flutter renders its first frame. It can be removed if

                 defined in @style/LaunchTheme). -->
            <meta-data
                android:name="io.flutter.app.android.SplashScreenUntilFirstFrame"
                android:value="true" />
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER"/>
            </intent-filter>            
            <intent-filter>

            </intent-filter>            
        </activity>       

    </application>
</manifest>

Looks like you are looking into how to get a heads-up notification on Android.

I would suggest to use FCM's "Data message" and then handle it at your FirebaseMessagingService.onMessageReceived implementation and then play there with priority/importance as it explained here.
