Hey I’m using version 7.0.0 and I’m experiencing same problem. I’ve created my channel:

PushNotification.createChannel(
      {
        channelId: INTERNAL_NOTIFICATIONS_CHANNEL, // (required)
        channelName: '..., // (required)
        channelDescription: '...', // (optional) default: undefined.
        soundName: 'default', // (optional) See `soundName` parameter of `localNotification` function
        importance: 4, // (optional) default: 4. Int value of the Android notification importance
        vibrate: true, // (optional) default: true. Creates the default vibration patten if true.
      },
      (created) => console.log({created}), // (optional) callback returns whether the channel was created, false means it already existed.
    );

And I’m reacting to notification like this:

  PushNotification.localNotification({
          id: messageId,
          title: notification.title, // (optional)
          message: notification.body, // (required)
          userInfo: data,
          channelId: INTERNAL_NOTIFICATIONS_CHANNEL,
        });

It works when application is in background but not when it’s in foreground. Do you know what could I be doing wrong?

I just released the version 6.1.0. In your case you can create a channel and define it as default channel for FCM notifications in AndroidManifest, the version 6.1.0 allow this also for foreground notifications. Then you don’t need to specify the channel id in your backend. This should keep the compatibility with old versions.

Has anyone found an actual solution to this? Have followed @Dallas62’s instructions, but still no notifications while app is in the foreground.

State of the repository This repository is not actively maintained. The main reason is time. The second one is probably the complexity of notifications on both iOS and Android. Since this project probably need a huge refactor to fix some issue or to implement new features. I think you should probably consider these alternatives: Notifee free since september or react-native-notifications.

Same issue, everything works fine, besides the fact that I can’t trigger onNotification if android app is in foreground, the rest works without issues

After digging for few hours I was finally able to trigger onNotification handler for Android if app is in foreground: add to AndroidManifest.xml

<manifest>
   ...
    <application>
     ...
      <service
          android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationListenerService"
          android:exported="false" >
          <intent-filter>
              <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
          </intent-filter>
      </service> 

      <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_foreground"
          android:value="true"/>
    </application>
</manifest>

For all the “+1”. First of all, this is not message which help to debug this case. Secondly, you probably copy and paste the AndroidManifest which include a line to hide notification in foreground. Regards,

NOTE: Without channel, remote notifications don’t work
