Possible to set the initial notification when the app is being foregrounded?

[RyanSept]

Currently if the app was already running but in the background and the user opens it via a push notification, getInitialNotification() returns undefined. Is it possible to set the initial notification to be available when the app is being foregrounded?

This was tested on Android 12

"react-native": "0.66.4",
"react-native-notifications": "4.3.2"

try all of these to see which gets called

Notifications.events().registerNotificationReceivedForeground((notification, completion) => {
      console.log(notification)
});

Notifications.events().registerNotificationReceivedBackground((notification, completion) => {
      console.log(notification)
});

Notifications.events().registerNotificationOpened((notification, completion) => {
      console.log(notification);
});

Thanks Cheyenne. I already have these callbacks registered, the problem is with the getInitialNotification() function

// User presses on a notification and it opens the app by launching it
Notifications.getInitialNotification(); -> Notification(...)

// User presses on a notification for a backgrounded app and it opens the app by foregrounding it
Notifications.getInitialNotification(); -> undefined

I think the second scenario should behave similarly to the first

@RyanSept did you manage to find a solution to thus issue?

[RyanSept]

@blolo I used AsyncStorage to store the notification upon registerNotificationOpened() then when the app rendered I have a callback that checks a notification is present in AsyncStorage and does actions on it.
