react-native-notification foreground messages

Question

Hi everyone

I use library wix/react-native-notifications

It looks like I do something wrong with my android (ios works fine). For me:

• registerRemoteNotificationsRegistered
• registerRemoteNotificationsRegistered
• registerNotificationOpened
• getInitialNotification

work good.

But:

• registerNotificationReceivedForeground
• registerNotificationReceivedBackground

have never triggered.

I think I put something wrong in AndroidManifest.xml (I have tried different variant but it still doesn't work).

Or problem occurs from using

• react-native-notification
• react-native-pusher-push-notifications

at the same time.

Please maybe someone have some ideas?

I use:

• "react-native-notifications": "^3.2.2",
• "react-native-pusher-push-notifications": "^2.4.0",
• "react": "16.9.0",
• "react-native": "0.61.5",

Part of AndroidManifest.xml that I think can be wrong:

<service
  android:name=".java.MyFirebaseMessagingService"
  android:exported="false"
>
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
  </intent-filter>
</service>

Answer 1

Ok, maybe it will be helpful for someone or just start some discussions )

Well, from my understanding the react-native-pusher-push-notifications handle notification first, so library react-native-notifications can't catch that.

Not the better decision but it will works before I find better solution.

I modified file PusherWrapper.java in react-native-pusher-push-notifications library to handle more information. The main problem was that library doesn't return info that send in data part of notification.

You can receive Push Notification on foreground in react native in this way

import {firebase} from '@react-native-firebase/messaging'
import PushNotification from "react-native-push-notification";

 useEffect(()=>{notification()},[])

const notification = () => {
    const messaging=firebase.messaging;
    const unsubscribe = messaging().onMessage(async remoteMessage => {
      console.log('A new FCM message arrived!', JSON.stringify(remoteMessage));

        PushNotification.localNotification({
            channelId: "reminder",
            message: remoteMessage.notification.body,
            title: remoteMessage.notification.title,
            bigPictureUrl: remoteMessage.notification.android.imageUrl,
            smallIcon: remoteMessage.notification.android.imageUrl,
        });
    });
    return unsubscribe;
}
