React-native-firebase: onMessage not being triggered

[haseebnaseem]

Issue

onMessage event is not triggered. My index.js file:

import React,{Component} from 'react';
import EStyleSheet from 'react-native-extended-stylesheet';
import store from './config/store';
import {Provider} from 'react-redux';
import AppNavigationState from './config/routes';
import {Alert} from './components/alert';
import codePush from 'react-native-code-push';
import firebase from 'react-native-firebase'
EStyleSheet.build({
      $primaryRed: '#C21F2B',
});

class App extends Component{
    componentDidMount(){
        console.log('here right now');
        this.messageListener = firebase.messaging().onMessage(message=>{
            console.log('here');
            console.log(message);
        });
    }
    componentWillUnmount(){
        this.messageListener();
    }
    render(){
        return (
            <Provider store={store}>
                <Alert>
                    <AppNavigationState/>
                </Alert>
            </Provider>
        );
    }
}

/**
 * The react.gradle file registers a task for each build variant (e.g. bundleDebugJsAndAssets

 * cycle. By default, bundleDebugJsAndAssets is skipped, as in debug/dev mode we prefer to load the
 * bundle directly from the development server. Below you can see all the possible configurations
 * and their defaults. If you decide to add a configuration block, make sure to add it before the
 * `apply from: "../../node_modules/react-native/react.gradle"` line.

Did anyone solve this issue :/ ..

Also having an issue with this... it seems only onNotification is being called. I am following the docs at https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.3.x/messaging/receiving-messages but, none of it seems to be working when I try to trigger a message from the Firebase console

[mattryles]

Hey,
You need to add both the messaging and notifications libraries, then set the event handler to something like:
firebase.notifications().onNotification((noti: Notification) => {
firebase.notifications().displayNotification(noti);
});
Notifications are what happens when the app is in the foreground and messages are what happens the the app is in the background.

You have saved my day. Thanks a lot
