addEventListener for notification not called

[jzinrh]

React Native Version: 0.73.6

Reproduction Steps:

1. Background App
2. Send push notification
3. Tap push notification Using the following code, "entered" is never logged.

  const onRemoteNotification = (notification) => {
    console.log('entered')
    // Use the appropriate result based on what you needed to do for this notification
    const result = PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData;
    notification.finish(result);
  };

  useEffect(() => {
    const type = 'notification';
    PushNotificationIOS.addEventListener(type, onRemoteNotification);
    return () => {
      PushNotificationIOS.removeEventListener(type);
    };
  });

Notes:

• Remote notification does show up on device; so I don't think it's a permission issue
• Tried with both type = "notification" and "localNotification"

onRemoteNotification should get triggered if/when the app is in foreground. PushNotificationIOS.getInitialNotification() is what you're looking for (if you're coming from background i.e opening the app by tapping on the notification)

  useEffect(() => {
    // Check if the app was opened by a notification
    PushNotificationIOS.getInitialNotification().then(notification => {
      if (notification) {
          const notificationData = notification.getData();
          console.log(notificationData);
      }
    });
  }, []);

I'm able to get that working when the app is launched (i.e. after I force close it) from the notification, but not when it's backgrounded.
