React Native - Get initial route when App is opened from a notification

Question

I'm using react-native and onesignal to handle notification.

If you press the notification when the app is in the background, i'll catch the 'opened' event, and redirect to the correct route (in the notification metadata)

But when the app is closed, the click on the notification just opens the app, without firing the 'opened' event.

How can i fetch the initial pressed notification metadata ?

Thanks

If you are using RNFirebase Cloud Messaging, you can use the proper listener getInitialNotification where you can catch when the notification is opened while the app is closed. Follow that guide Notifications - Handling Interaction for more infos.
