React-native-firebase: Android App is not open when clicking on the Notificaion

[razvantodea14]

Issue

The notification payload:

{ notification: 
   { body: 'Test body',
     sound: 'default',
     title: 'Test',
     badge: '4',
     advertId: 'nmaQxRI89CzyBK4AnWH3',
     click_action: 'fcm.Action.HELLO' },
  data: 
   { advert: '{"city":"Cluj-Napoca","currency":"RON","description":"-","images":["https://media1.lajumate.ro/media/i/new_details/2/836/8362622_iphone-5_1.jpg","https://media1.lajumate.ro/media/i/new_details/2/836/8362622_iphone-5_2.jpg"],"isRead":false,"link":"https://lajumate.ro/iphone-5-8362622.html","platform":"Test","price":3000,"searchId":"OmPnxYMm3sIO8oY2BSu6","status":"pending","timestamp":"2018-07-18T16:09:18.401Z","title":"Test"}',
     advertId: 'nmaQxRI89CzyBK4AnWH3' } }

The application can receive notifications, but when the click is performed on a single notification, the app is not opened. If the click is performed on a group of notifications the app is opened. This issue appeared recently and only on Android devices. The getInitialNotification callback is not triggered when the app is killed and neither onNotifcationOpened when the app is in background. The problem is reproducible on the debug build on all Android devices, but on the release build on some devices the problem is not reproducible.

@razvantodea14 could we see your AndroidManifest file contents?

Also, have you added the following: https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v4.3.x/messaging/android#Update-Android-Manifest ?

Same here. Did you solve?

I'm trying, any news I post here.

[vendramini]

Some track.

When sending through firebase console, my app do open when I press it.
When sending through my php API (that sends to firebase), my app DO NOT open.

I compared the incoming information and noticed that from firebase console the click_action propertie came undefined and I'm setting it from my API. So I removed it to test and now my app is opening.

Why do a click_action propertie influence this behavior?

"react": "^16.4.2",
"react-native": "^0.54.4",
"react-native-firebase": "^4.3.8",

Android 7.0, Samsung S7 Edge.

When sending through firebase console, my app do open when I press it.
When sending through my php API (that sends to firebase), my app DO NOT open.

I have the same issue and try removing the click_action from request, hope it's working. But I also wonder why click_action (maybe) is the problem. 🤒

[razvantodea14]

@vendramini and @hoantp click_action was the problem in our case to.

[Salakar]

If you're using a custom click_action / defining one then you need to add a custom intent-filter in your AndroidManifest file; e.g. in @razvantodea14 case above something like the below example should work inside the main activity section:

<activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:launchMode="singleTop"
    android:screenOrientation="portrait"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustPan">
    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="fcm.Action.HELLO" />
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
    </intent-filter>
</activity>

On Android it's generally best practice to name your actions with a prefix of your package name, e.g. com.mycool.app.SUPER_ACTION.

The default behaviour without a click action is to launch the MainActivity (uses android.intent.action.MAIN as the default action I believe) - which is why removing it works in the cases above as the MAIN intent filter is setup in the AndroidManifest as part of the setup guide.

Will close this issue now - thanks for posting it.

Understood.

My previous library (react-native-fcm) works differently.

Thank you!

[kholiavko-roman]

@Salakar, thank you.
But in case when I have a lots of click_actions, for example
fcm.action.companyName1
fcm.action.companyName2
fcm.action.companyName3
...
can I defined in manifest something like pattern for actions, maybe you know ?

[achimbaggins]

I face this issue currently I'm using
"react-native": "0.57.6",
"react-native-firebase": "5.2.0",

I was add this in my manifest file

<service android:name="io.invertase.firebase.messaging.RNFirebaseMessagingService">
        <intent-filter>
          <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
        </intent-filter>
</service>

It's only happen for android, app not opened when click notification,
on iOS it's work
anyone can help?
