on('notification') is not called on iOS when app launched from app icon

[sertal70]

Expected Behaviour

Scenario:

1. App is not running or in background, it has been killed.
2. A notification is sent to the app from a backend service (AWS SNS in my case)
3. Phone OS shows the notification in the notification center
4. The user tap on the app icon to launch it

I'm expecting that: after app and plugin initialisation, on('notification') is called so that the app can process the notification data.

Actual Behaviour

Android: after app and plugin intialisation on('notification') is actually called iOS: after app and plugin intialisation on('notification') is not called

Yes same issue here...

[TruffeCendree]

I experience the same issue (version 2.2.3 on iOS 9.3.5)

I switched to capacitor because it is much easier to do custom implementations and the push plugin is maintained by ionic

@digaus have you tried Action Buttons with Capacitor Push plugin?
