@vikeri : Yes, i have tried in example this is my sourcode:

BackgroundJob.register({
  jobKey: workerNotify,
  job: () => {
   console.log(`Run with app closed`);
   // push notify used by firebase
 }
});

BackgroundJob.schedule({
      jobKey: workerNotify,
      period: 1000,
      exact: true,
      allowExecutionInForeground: true
    });

And if you just put your app in the background you don't get any console logs?

Same issue for my case. I can't print logs to the console, and can't run background notification when the app is closed. react-native: 0.61.5, react-native-background-job: 2.3.1
