onNotification not called when opening local notification in headless state (android)

[MarcoStb1993]

Bug

I want to handle remote push notifications (PN) from FCM in my app by sending silent remote PNs that trigger a local PN (as advised in this package's troubleshooting guide). This works for all states but one: When the app is in quit state and receives a remote PN, the background task is launched, onNotification called and a local PN is created (PushNotification.configure is called as well). When this local PN is opened, the onNotification method is not called. If the app is in background state and receives a remote PN, the local PN is created and onNotification called as expected when it is opened.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Following this package's installation instruction
2. Setting up FCM
3. Implemented a singleton notification interface that is called outside of the react scope (see index.js)
4. Started app in debug mode on physical android device (SM-A520F) with Android 8.0.0
5. Quit the app after it successfully started first
6. Sent FCM message via Postman:

"to": "eGZXrIp-Suu4HTicVNzbjB:APA91bF5Y68YR-BvYtIpX_p1drT8Io5wTV1Mh_2Y6OGSgX_XzbP0rDQWIxj2YuRUBX6JiZvrshMHQ5t9FLxOp42fQfCUzRq9lKbsm4av0ECVlkeq0aQWlhV-kRDLwgIU03iXQbpl8uii",
"data": {
    "path": "Settings",  //data content
    "create_local": true,  //If a local PN should be created
    "text": "Remote notif"  //Text to display in local PN
  }
  "priority": "high",
  "content_available": true  //required for iOS silent PN
}

7. Open local PN

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. App background task spins up and onNotification is called with respective log output ("remote notif received")
2. Local PN is shown
3. When local PN is opened, onNotification is called with log output "opened app with notif" (which unfortunately is not happening)

Hi @MarcoStb1993
I will test this but I'm actually busy, maybe at the end of day. 😉

Hi @MarcoStb1993
Sorry for the delay, here a solution:

NotificationInterface.js

import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification';
import {AppState} from 'react-native';
import PushNotificationIOS from '@react-native-community/push-notification-ios';

export default class NotificationService {
  constructor() {

      ongoing: false, // (optional) set whether this is an "ongoing" notification

      /* iOS only properties */
      alertAction: 'view', // (optional) default: view
      category: '', // (optional) default: empty string
      userInfo: {}, // (optional) default: {} (using null throws a JSON value '<null>' error)

      /* iOS and Android properties */
      title: 'Scheduled Notification', // (optional)
      message: 'My Notification Message', // (required)
      playSound: true, // (optional) default: true
      soundName: 'default', // (optional) Sound to play when the notification is shown. Value of 'default' plays the default sound. It can be set to a custom sound such as 'android.resource://com.xyz/raw/my_sound'. It will look for the 'my_sound' audio file in 'res/raw' directory and play it. default: 'default' (default sound is played)
    });
  }

  checkPermission(cbk) {
    return PushNotification.checkPermissions(cbk);
  }

  requestPermissions() {
    return PushNotification.requestPermissions();
  }

  cancelNotif() {
    PushNotification.cancelLocalNotifications({id: '' + this.lastId});
  }

  cancelAll() {
    PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications();
  }
}

Then call checkInitialNotification() when the root component trigger componentDidMount().

Here changes:

• In .configure turn off popInitialNotification
• In NotificationService added a method

  checkInitialNotification() {
    PushNotification.popInitialNotification(this.onNotif);
  }

• In the root component (App, or Routes in your case) add a call to NotificationService.getInstance().checkInitialNotification(); when componentDidMount()

Hope it's clear enough 😉

[MarcoStb1993]

Thank you for your help, unfortunately the method onNotif always receives null as notification. If I start the app normally or via touching a notification.

I am calling NotificationInterface.getInstance().checkInitialNotification() in the first screen that is always opened (and where the splashscreen is hidden). popInitialNotification is also set to false.

On a side note: The app's badge always sets to multiples of 10 after receiving a notification instead of 1 (10, 20, 30 ...). This happens on iOS as well.

[Dallas62]

If the problem is now related to SplashScreen, take a look at:
#122 (comment)
For the badge number I will take a look.

And I forgot to mention, but there is an extra condition in case of the app start normaly:

    if (!notif) {
      return;
    }

For number badge, did you change the value in number when you call localNotification ?
Android stack notifications and sum all number value, which explains what you describe.

number: 10,

[MarcoStb1993]

I don't know if the issue is related to the splashscreen. I tried the "hack" from the comment you linked and it did not change the notification received being null on checkInitialNotification.

I removed the splashscreen intent from the manifest and set the MainActivity as launcher and onNotif was still called with notification value null after being openend from a notification.

And the badge number "error" was due to my stupidity ... Thanks for pointing the number value out to me. It was in fact set to 10.

[Dallas62]

I will check this again at the end of the day, but I had the behaviour you described and making this change was enough to get the initial notification.

[MarcoStb1993]

Ok, thank you! I dug through the adb logcat and found some stuff that might be interesting:

Furthermore, I've modified the 'getInitialNotification' method in the node module RNPushNotification.java file and added some log output:

RNPushNotification.java

@ReactMethod
    public void getInitialNotification(Promise promise) {
     Log.v(LOG_TAG, "getInitialNotification: called");
        WritableMap params = Arguments.createMap();
        Activity activity = getCurrentActivity();
        if (activity != null) {
        Log.v(LOG_TAG, "getInitialNotification: activity!=null");
        Log.v(LOG_TAG, "getInitialNotification: activity: " + activity.getTitle());
            Bundle bundle = this.getBundleFromIntent(activity.getIntent());
            if (bundle != null) {
            Log.v(LOG_TAG, "getInitialNotification: bunde!=null");
                bundle.putBoolean("foreground", false);
                String bundleString = mJsDelivery.convertJSON(bundle);
                params.putString("dataJSON", bundleString);
            }
        }
        promise.resolve(params);
    }

Which resulted in this being logged:

Hopefully, this might be helpful.

Edit: I found this regarding splash screens in RNF's issues. which shows the same problem in RNF with getInitialNotification (that I presume to work similarly). But I am using React Native Bootsplash which apparently already implements these additions .

[Dallas62]

There is a difference in the AndroidManifest I used and your AndroidManifest:
https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/blob/master/example/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml#L23
Don't know if this is the problem, but easy to test.

[MarcoStb1993]

I've added this tag both my activities but it still did not work.

But, by chance I found out, that the initial notification is fetched when not in Debug mode. As soon as I activate the Debug mode, I receive null for the initial notification. When it is deactivated, everything works as expected.

Do you have any idea why that can be?

[Dallas62]

I don’t know what it can be, debug can replay the same initial notification (null if no notification) but its due to Hot Reload.
If you can provide a small repository with the bug I can investigate (no need to provide a firebase configuration, I will configure it)

[MarcoStb1993]

I tried to build a small repository for testing just using your example project and adding RN Bootsplash, but using just this combination works as expected.

I guess its some misconfiguration in my project using submodules and tons of dependencies ...

I will close this issue now since I can proceed (without debug mode). Thanks again for your help!

[Dallas62]

Hi @MarcoStb1993
A pull request fix this issue without a workaround:
#1446
This will be release soon.
