# Manual Notification Handling

If you need to handle User.com notifications directly in your code, you can manually retrieve the UserComNotification object using the factory method.

# Retrieving Notification Objects

You can obtain the UserComNotification object from two sources:

• From an Activity using getIntent().getExtras()
• From a RemoteMessage in your Firebase messaging service

// From Activity
val notification = UserComNotification.create(intent.extras)

// From FirebaseMessagingService
val notification = UserComNotification.create(remoteMessage.data)

// From Activity
@Nullable UserComNotification notification = UserComNotification.create(getIntent().getExtras());

// From FirebaseMessagingService
@Nullable UserComNotification notification = UserComNotification.create(remoteMessage.getData());

The create() method safely returns null if the passed data doesn't contain the user_com_notification key, allowing you to use it alongside your existing notification system without conflicts.
