React-native-firebase: messaging.onMessage callback fires when re-opening an app on Android

[dannycochran]

Issue

The messaging.onMessage callback fires when re-opening an app on Android.

For example with this code, open an app, then background the app (don't close it):

// This gets called once on app mount.
firebaseApp.messaging().onMessage(notification => {
  // onMessage handler stuff, gets fired whenever the app is backgrounded and then re-opened.
});

Bring the app back up, and the callback for "onMessage" is fired.
