Android doesn't fire callbacks while in background

[alaingoldman]

Same error here for ios.

Same problem on Android.

I resolved this problem by sending the payload with key data instead of key notification as mentioned here.

This is not an issue with react-native-notifications but rather a limitation of how GCM/FCM works. #71 somewhat addresses this by explaining this situation in the README. As @nkov has mentioned, if you want your callback to be called when the app is in the background you must send a "data only" push notification.

How to trigger callback if app was dropped from process on android ?

I tried different scenarios, only with data, with notification, with both, but nothing trigger callback if app killed from process. Anybody found the solution ?

[Benjamin-Dobell]

@kholiavko-roman there is no way to achieve this with stock react-native-notifications. The implementation makes a few inaccurate assumptions unfortunately. My pull request addresses this but unfortunately it's not building at the moment due to a bug in Google's firebase plugin.

Thanks, @Benjamin-Dobell

Having this same issue, has anyone found any solutions?

I had an issue where I wasn't receiving the notifications on background or foreground. Turns out it was because I wasn't setting my listeners in a global scope. Changed to global scope like the example does, and now I receive foreground, background, and initial notifications.
