Push Notification call back not get when app is in background

[siddharthpvi]

when app is in the background we get the notification but do not get that callback for any action we can do on that callback

[linus-komnick]

@siddharthpvi did you find a solution?

+1 this is happening to us as well. We are trying to run some code whenever a notification is received while the app is in the background / phone is locked. Have gone through troubleshoot page, but there doesn't seem to be anything around the callback not being fired off.

Not

In order to wake the app when a notification is received, since iOS 13, you need to add the "content-available":1, value to the notification's aps field. Without it, your app will not receive any of the event handlers when it is in the background and a notification is received.

So far I have only been able to get this to work on a real device using notifications sent through node-apn. .apns files sent to the simulator, even with the content-available field, do not seem to work no matter what listener I implement (e.g. {"Simulator Target Bundle": "my.app.id","aps":{"sound":"default","alert":"Test","badge":1,"content-available":1}}).

Have you managed to solve this?

@wlek777 ... i ended up using @notifee/react-native it was a better option.. So, I use it for only Local notifications... pass the Remote notification data to it. It would be very helpful and currently, they made the library free.

[wlek777]

@Joshmatjjen I cannt even get the remote notification data when killed state, this worked fine when app state in active/background (without swipe off the app)

[Joshmatjjen]

@wlek777 ... Is it IOS or Both Android And IOS?

[wlek777]

@Joshmatjjen IOS only

[Joshmatjjen]

I used react-native-push-notification & @react-native-community/push-notification-ios

react-native-push-notification , was used to configure the remote notification. like this

// Root component.. ie App.js

import PushNotificationIOS from '@react-native-community/push-notification-ios';
import PushNotification, { Importance } from 'react-native-push-notification';

PushNotification.configure({
    // Called when Token is generated.
    onRegister: function (token) {
      console.log('TOKEN:', token);
     // Register ur remote notificaiton to listen to
    },

    // Called when a remote or local notification is opened or received.
    onNotification: function (notification) {
      console.log('NOTIFICATION:----REMOTE', notification);
      console.log(notification.data.type);
        );
        PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications();
        console.log('NO Push', notification);
      }

      //   .then((url) => console.log('Hello uRl', url))
      //   .catch((err) => console.log(err));
      // Do something with the notification.
      // Required on iOS only (see fetchCompletionHandler docs: https://reactnative.dev/docs/pushnotificationios)
      notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
    },
    // (optional) Called when Registered Action is pressed and invokeApp is false, if true onNotification will be called (Android)
    onAction: function (notification) {
      console.log('ACTION:', notification.action);
      console.log('NOTIFICATIONS:', notification);

      // PushNotification.getChannels(function (channel_ids) {
      //   console.log('Channel ID', channel_ids); // ['channel_id_1']
      // });

      // process the action
    },

    // (optional) Called when the user fails to register for remote notifications. Typically occurs when APNS is having issues, or the device is a simulator. (iOS)
    onRegistrationError: function (err) {
      console.log('THis is the error registering notification', err);
      console.error(err.message, err);
    },

    // IOS ONLY (optional): default: all - Permissions to register.
    permissions: {
      alert: true,
      badge: true,
      sound: true,
    },

    // Should the initial notification be popped automatically
    // default: true
    popInitialNotification: true,

    /**
     * (optional) default: true
     * - Specified if permissions (ios) and token (android and ios) will requested or not,
     * - if not, you must call PushNotificationsHandler.requestPermissions() later
     * - if you are not using remote notification or do not have Firebase installed, use this:
     *     requestPermissions: Platform.OS === 'ios'
     */
    requestPermissions: true,
    // ANDROID: GCM or FCM Sender ID
    senderID: '112233333333',
  });

Same issue, the callback is getting triggered when app is in foreground, but it does not get triggered at all when the app is closed or in the background.
