Opening app from remote notification is blocked on Android 12 targetSdk=31

[michalpetrov]

Bug

Everything is working as expected on iOS and Android 6 to 11. For Android 12 (targetSdk=31) the notification is received if the app is in foreground. If the app is in background, the notification is displayed in notification center, but when i tap on the notification the app is not opened. I can see in the logs that it's blocked due to the trampoline

E/NotificationService: Indirect notification activity start (trampoline) from my.app.dev blocked

Should this issue be already fixed with this PR?

Environment info

Android: 12 TargetSdk: 31 Library version: 8.1.1

we can see that in case intent is com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT notification open will be block

I able found root cause. As what I test and debug. When app is not running in background then firebase-messaging is handle the remote notification. and currently react-native-push-notification version 8.1.1 is using old version of 21.1.0 which have issue with Android 12 check this github issue:https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/3423

So I have a workaround for this issue that install new version of firebase-messaging in my app build.gradle: implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:23.0.5"

now when app not running in background. when click on notification it can open app. Cheer

@Dallas62 Can we try update newer version of com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging to resolve this issue?

[bekatd]

Hi, does anyone find solution different than modifying build.gradle file as stated above?

[bekatd]

Or does Android 12 restricted opening Apps from notifications at all?

[Vi-dot]

You can set the version used by react-native-push-notification directly like this : in android/gradle.properties

firebaseMessagingVersion=23.0.5

firebaseMessagingVersion=23.0.5

@Ddv0623 Can you show us how to update this? I added the following to my /android/app/build.gradle:

implementation "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:23.0.5"

But the app is not able to build after that.

[touchalex]

ok. I found the solution. For everyone who is getting error when making the android build after updating the firebase messaging to 23.0.5, please check this:

https://github.com/firebase/firebase-android-sdk/issues/4206#issue-1409911151

I added the following to my "android/app/build.gradle" in the dependencies section:

implementation platform('com.google.firebase:firebase-bom:31.0.0')

implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-functions'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging'
implementation 'com.google.firebase:firebase-iid:21.1.0'

And also updated the firebasemessageingVersion to 23.0.5 in my "android/build.gradle"
