FirebaseCloudMessaging : PlatformException (PlatformException(null-error, Host platform returned null value for non-null return value., null, null))

I'm trying to send notifications from an Node.js API to a Flutter application. First, I want to make my application able to receive notifications from Firebase.

But, when I initializeApp, I got an issue :

PlatformException (PlatformException(null-error, Host platform returned null value for non-null return value., null, null))

and this, in the console:

E/flutter (25357): [ERROR:flutter/lib/ui/ui_dart_state.cc(198)] Unhandled Exception: PlatformException(null-error, Host platform returned null value for non-null return value., null, null)

E/flutter (25357): #3      main (package:notifappfcm/main.dart:13)
package:notifappfcm/main.dart:1

I've been looking for a solution to this problem, but I really can't find it.

This is my application code:

main.dart

import 'package:firebase_messaging/firebase_messaging.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:firebase_core/firebase_core.dart';
import 'mainscreen.dart';

Future<void> _firebadeMessagingBackgroundHandler(RemoteMessage message) async {
  await Firebase.initializeApp(); // options: DefaultFirebaseConfig.platformOptions
  print('Handling a background message ${message.messageId}');
}

void main() async {
  WidgetsFlutterBinding.ensureInitialized();
  await Firebase.initializeApp();

  FirebaseMessaging.onBackgroundMessage(_firebadeMessagingBackgroundHandler);

  runApp(const MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const MyApp({Key? key}) : super(key: key);

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: const MainScreen(),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  const MyHomePage({Key? key, required this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  State<MyHomePage> createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  int _counter = 0;

 
  void _incrementCounter() {
    setState(() {
      _counter++;
    });
  }

 @override
  void initState() {
    super.initState();
  }

  
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return Scaffold(
      appBar: AppBar(
        title: Text(widget.title),
      ),
      body: Center(
        child: Column(
          mainAxisAlignment: MainAxisAlignment.center,
          children: <Widget>[
            const Text(
              'You have pushed the button this many times:',
            ),
            Text(
              '$_counter',
              style: Theme.of(context).textTheme.headline4,
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
      floatingActionButton: FloatingActionButton(
        onPressed: _incrementCounter,
