How to implement CallKit alike behaviour on Android with react native?

Question

I have an application written in react-native to handle Voip calls between users. I need to wakeup the app upon push notification and show a screen to accept/decline the call.

On iOS there is callkit, is there anything similar for Android?

Answer 1

After some researches, I've come up with a solution which integrates some native Android code with the native app. First of all I've used WakefulBroadcastReceiver to wake up our activity process after receiving a push notification, then with a Service I start the ReactActivity and show the custom screen written in Java to handle accept/decline of the call.

I've written a blog post about it with an in-depth example.
