backToForeground not working on android 10 but 9 is fine

[Solumation]

Bug report

• On android 10 (huawei p30 pro), the call ui appears when the app is open, closed and the phone is closed but the app is not brought forward. Works (ui and app opening) on android 9 (lg v30).

• Reproduced on:

• [x] Android

• [ ] iOS

Description

The ui for the call works really well but the app is not brought forward on android like it does on android 9.

Steps to Reproduce

The console in the setBackgroundMessageHandler() and onMessage(0 appears in the console. For android 9 the backToForeground() clearly works.

// Watcher for incoming firebase messages when the app is closed
messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(async remoteMessage => {
  RNCallKeep.backToForeground();
  const getNewUuid = () => uuid.v4().toLowerCase();
  const callUUID = getNewUuid().toLowerCase();
  RNCallKeep.displayIncomingCall(callUUID, remoteMessage.data.name || "N/A", "Nita Waiting Room", 'generic', false);

  useIncommingFirebaseMessages(remoteMessage.data);
});

// Watcher for incoming firebase messages when the app is open
messaging().onMessage(async remoteMessage => {
  RNCallKeep.backToForeground();
  const getNewUuid = () => uuid.v4().toLowerCase();
  const callUUID = getNewUuid().toLowerCase();

  RNCallKeep.displayIncomingCall(callUUID, remoteMessage.data.name || "N/A", "Nita Waiting Room", 'generic', false);

  useIncommingFirebaseMessages(remoteMessage.data);
});

const useIncommingFirebaseMessages = (callData: any) => {
  const getNewUuid = () => uuid.v4().toLowerCase();
  const callUUID = getNewUuid();

  const answerCall = ({ callUUID }) => {
    hangup(callUUID)
    RootNavigation.navigate('CallPage', {
      callFromNotification: true
    });
  };

  // Click cancel incoming call
  const endCall = async ({ callUUID }) => {
    return false;

  };

  const hangup = (callUUID: any) => {
    RNCallKeep.endCall(callUUID);
    return true
  };

  RNCallKeep.addEventListener('answerCall', answerCall);
  RNCallKeep.addEventListener('endCall', endCall);

  return false
}

It works for me in Android 11, and as stated does not work on Android 10. Any solution for this?

Android 10 11 12 same problem. When app killed, headless.js fired with slient notification but no call ui, app don't open.

Starting from Android 10, it seems ilke google has restricted opening app from background activity. It is recommended to use notification to replace it though.

There is a solution. Follow that link

That solution not in current released version. You must add own. That works for me in Android 10-11-12.
