flutter notification - Attempt to invoke virtual method 'int java.lang.Integer.intValue()' on a null object reference

Question

I am trying to create local notification using flutter_local_notifications First I created API Class to my project:

class NotificationApi{
  static final FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin _notifications = FlutterLocalNotificationsPlugin();
  static Future _notificationDetailes() async => const NotificationDetails(
    android: AndroidNotificationDetails(
      "channel id",
      "channel name",
      channelDescription: "channel description",
      importance: Importance.max,
      playSound: true
    ),
    iOS: IOSNotificationDetails(),
  );
  
  static Future showNotification({int id =0, String? title, String? body, String? payload}) async =>
      _notifications.show(id, title, body, await _notificationDetailes(), payload: payload);
}

then I trigger the notification with a floating button:

 floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
    onPressed: () {
      NotificationApi.showNotification(
          title:  "Oz Cohen",
          body: "Hey!! this is my first Notification!",
          payload: "oz.ss"
      );
    },
    child: const Icon(Icons.add),
  ), // This trailing comma makes auto-formatting nicer for build methods.

My pubspec.yaml file:

and when I press the button instead of showing the notification the output is:

Answer 1

this is what help me

NotificationDetails( android: AndroidNotificationDetails(
          channelId,
          channelName,
          icon: "appIcon", //add app icon here
          importance: Importance.max, ,
        ),

Answer 2

There is the issue of fluter flutter_local_notifications package is an image of the flutter icon, not a specification

only add the icon field of "@mipmap/ic_launcher"

final AndroidInitializationSettings androidInitializationSettings =
      const AndroidInitializationSettings('@mipmap/ic_launcher');

And

AndroidNotificationDetails androidNotificationDetails =
        const AndroidNotificationDetails(
      'channelId',
      'channelName',
      importance: Importance.max,
      priority: Priority.high,
      icon: '@mipmap/ic_launcher',
    );
