expo: SDK 45.0.8 uselastnotificationresponse is not working when app killed/closed

uselastnotificationresponse is not working when app is killed/closed with android real device(sdk46). Please fix it asap. @expo-community

I was able to get this working and read data from the notification on both Android and iOS devices. In my Android application I have this piece of code:

// App.js
import * as Notifications from 'expo-notifications';
import { useEffect } from 'react';

Notifications.setNotificationHandler({
  handleNotification: async () => ({
    shouldShowAlert: true,
    shouldPlaySound: true,
    shouldSetBadge: true,
  }),
});

export default function App() {
  const lastNotificationResponse = Notifications.useLastNotificationResponse();

  useEffect(() => {
    if (!lastNotificationResponse) return;

    let data = null;

    if (Platform.OS === 'android') {
      data = lastNotificationResponse?.notification?.request?.trigger?.remoteMessage?.data;
    } else {
      data = lastNotificationResponse?.notification?.request?.trigger?.payload?.data;
    }

    console.log(data);
  }, [lastNotificationResponse]);


  return <></>;
}

But here is the catch, notification data send to firebase needs to look like this:

def firebase_notification
  {
    data: {
      title: title,
      message: message,
      badge: user.notifications.unread.count,
      link: url,
      data: {
        link: url
      }
    },
    android: {
      priority: 'normal'
    }
  }
end

You have to use only data part of notification, when you use title or body in your notification, the data read in JS hook will be undefined. I don’t know why it’s behaving this way, but after I’ve removed title and body keys from my notification and kept them under data the notification hook started working and returned correct notification data.

Please note that you can’t test this from Firebase Cloud Console, because google requires you to fill title of notification, but when you fill the title, payload will have title key and ExpoNotification will fail to read the data.

Most important part was to send notification in correct format. However if you don’t have control over sended data, I think there’s currently no way to fix this.

uselastnotificationresponse is not working when app is killed/closed with android. Neighter is addNotificationResponseReceivedListener in Android.

@Codelica using expo 46, sharing raw code

let androidOffNotificationListener;
if (Platform.OS !== "android") {
  androidOffNotificationListener = Notifications.addNotificationResponseReceivedListener(
    ({ notification }) => {
       alert('We received a touched notification event in Android');
    }
  );
}

class App extends React.PureComponent {
async componentDidMount() {}
 render() {return (<MyComponent/>}}

}
export default App;

App is getting open when tap the notification but notification event is not triggered. Also, I have tried Notifications.useLastNotificationResponse()
This is returning null when app is killed/close However, It is working fine with ios and expo go …getting issue android real device.

@Codelica Sorry !! last time, I posted wrong code however i was using condition Platform.OS == "android" Now, To be double sure i tested again but still not receiving the event

let androidOffNotificationListener;
if (Platform.OS == "android") {

  androidOffNotificationListener=Notifications.addNotificationResponseReceivedListener(
    ({ notification }) => {
     alert('We received a touched notification event in Android');
    }
  );
}

Note: I am FCM to send notification. This is critical issue for my app. Could you please help me to get it fixed.? If you can create a sample app repo using working code to receive notifications and when touch the notification then navigate to specific screen. It would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

@Codelica @appsgenie I tried multiple ways as suggested but nothing is working with android real device. Please share a working code if any workaround.
