Local notifications does not subscribe to events when the notification is triggered in the background or when device is Locked on IOS Device 16.1.2 OS

WARNING: IF YOU IGNORE THIS TEMPLATE, WE'LL IGNORE YOUR ISSUE. YOU MUST FILL THIS IN!

I have setup local notifications on IOS and l want to subscribe to Local notifications on the event onTrigger then l play custom audio or voice recording. Whats happening is if the app is in the foreground/active l do receive notifications and l do subscribe to event onTrigger. However if l lock my phone or place the app in the background the notification does popup but does not subscribe to the event onTrigger.

Is a a workaround to subscribe to events when the app is in the background or when device is locked?

Hey @bevinGithub I am facing the same issue. Did you find any workaround? I tried Capacitor local-notifications, same issue there.
