react-native-push-notification: onNotification is not called when remote notification arrives and app is in background/foreground

@alex-mironov @snamstorm I am now facing the opposite problem. onNotification is called correctly when coming from foreground or background but it is not called when the app was killed. The app just launches normally. Could you maybe let me know how you did the configuration? I am calling PushNotification.configure from index.js so timing should not be the issue I guess. For Android it works correctly this way. I will also create a new issue for it since this is not really related. Just wanted your feedback since it seems to be working for you 😉

How did you solve this?

Haven’t solved it yet

This solved it for me:

• SplashActivity

package com.trique.app; // Change this to your package name.

import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;

public class SplashActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        intent.putExtras(getIntent().getExtras());  // <--- ADD THIS
        startActivity(intent);
        finish();
    }
}

• MainActivity

package com.trique.app;

import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
import org.devio.rn.splashscreen.SplashScreen;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.content.Intent;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

  /**
   * Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript. This is used to schedule
   * rendering of the component.
   */
  @Override
  protected String getMainComponentName() {
    return "com.trique.app";
  }

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      SplashScreen.show(this);
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  }
}

@Dallas62 you were right. On the push-notification-ios#107 issue you eluded to the fix pointed out here enabled me to begin receiving onNotification events while the app was in the background or foreground. Thanks for your pointers!

Facing the same issue in IOS ,onNotification is not triggered but it is triggering if the user clicks on the recieved notification.need Onnotification to trigger as soon as we get the remote notification

I am also facing similar issue in IOS.

When app is in foreground / background, onNotification handler is not getting called when notification is received, though this is working perfectly fine in android.

    <activity
        android:name=".SplashActivity"
        android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
  <activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" >
      <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.INFO" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>

@alex-mironov we also having this issue - we are able to receive and show the push notification when app is in background. However, when app is in the foreground, push notification is not received and shown.

We have also added the following in AppDelegate.m

//Called when a notification is delivered to a foreground app.
-(void)userNotificationCenter:(UNUserNotificationCenter *)center willPresentNotification:(UNNotification *)notification withCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UNNotificationPresentationOptions options))completionHandler
{
  completionHandler(UNAuthorizationOptionSound | UNAuthorizationOptionAlert | UNAuthorizationOptionBadge);
}

Please let us know if you find a solution to your issue

@Dallas62 thanks for the prompt reply. Yeah, sure, SENDER_ID is there, just dropped that import not to clutter the snippet.

I also updated native part

#import <RNCPushNotificationIOS.h>

...

// Required to register for notifications
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:(UIUserNotificationSettings *)notificationSettings
{
  [RNCPushNotificationIOS didRegisterUserNotificationSettings:notificationSettings];
}
// Required for the register event.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:(NSData *)deviceToken
{
  [RNCPushNotificationIOS didRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithDeviceToken:deviceToken];
}
// Required for the notification event. You must call the completion handler after handling the remote notification.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo
fetchCompletionHandler:(void (^)(UIBackgroundFetchResult))completionHandler
{
  [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveRemoteNotification:userInfo fetchCompletionHandler:completionHandler];
}
// Required for the registrationError event.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:(NSError *)error
{
  [RNCPushNotificationIOS didFailToRegisterForRemoteNotificationsWithError:error];
}
// Required for the localNotification event.
- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification
{
  [RNCPushNotificationIOS didReceiveLocalNotification:notification];
}

As I mentioned, I was able to receive a plain notification when the app is killed, the only issue to make onNotification working when app is in the background/foreground.
