Receive notification only the app is in foreground

[GENL]

I build social network and I want to update the number of likes of a post using a push notification. But I don't want the users to be disturbed each time a post is liked when the app is in background. So is there a way to tell the mobile app to receive notification only when the app is in foreground?

Thanks

you can use data message for that in which payload doesn't contain notification key. only data key is present.
as per docutmentation here

Data messages are lost when app is terminated.
