onNotification Not Trigerred

[ElieSoft]

Dear Team,

We think that there is an issue within the react-native-push-notification library. Kindly read the case below.

I am using Local PushNotification in order to set alarms within my application. Everything works fine but there is a certain case where: 1 - The application is in "Killed" state. The notification is received. User clicks on notification. The app starts, go to Home screen, the onNotification function is trigerred and the app is redirected to the a specific screen. 2 - After that if the application is set in a "Background" state, and the notification is received, when the User clicks on that second notification the app is set in "Active" state in foreground but the onNotification function is not trigerred. The app stay at the Home screen and nothing happens.

Please your prompt action is really appreciated.

Best Regards, Eli

@ElieSoft Did you find any work around ? We are also facing same issue. It was working couple days before.

Hello Rabin Not yet. Someone told me that it's a bug related to the library react-native-push-notification.

What do you think ?

[Dallas62]

Hi @ElieSoft This is probably related to your configuration. Please check the exemple project or provide a reproducible exemple. Regards.

Hi @Dallas62,

I too have been struggling with the exact issue @ElieSoft has reported for a few days now. I've had a read through of multiple threads including #1453 and nothing has worked.

I've checked the example project and mapped all the required configuration to what I have in my project and it checks out so really don't know what I'm missing.

FYI, I'm currently testing remote push notifications by dragging an APNS file onto an IOS simulator. I'm quite new to mobile development, so was wondering if testing on a simulator is causing the issue (and what the general best practice is)?

Any help would be appreciated.

@Dallas62 So I ran the example project and it works a dream. You have any ideas where in my configuration things might be breaking?

[Dallas62]

Check the AndroidManifest and MainActivity

[aliasmac]

Check the AndroidManifest and MainActivity

Right but the issue is specifically for IOS, would also running firebase notifications (RNFirebaseNotifications.h) impact the behaviour of the lib?

[Dallas62]

So check the AppDelegate. This package doesn't maintain the iOS version as mentioned in #1453.

[arunahuja94]

Same happened with me , though i was able to resolve this by adding launchmode to singletask in android manifest

[ElieSoft]

Check the AndroidManifest and MainActivity

@Dallas62 Please can you specify what I should exactly check within AndroidManifest and MainActivity. For example in my AndroidManifest, the following lines of code are missing:

action android:name="android.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON" action android:name="com.htc.intent.action.QUICKBOOT_POWERON"

Hi @arunahuja94 , could you please share the code snippet ? I am not able to fix this issue. thank you
