React-native-firebase: 🔥 Crash - Tried to start task RNFirebaseBackgroundMessage while in foreground, but this is not allowed.

[vrozaev]

Issue

🔥 Crash - Tried to start task RNFirebaseBackgroundMessage while in foreground, but this is not allowed.

Looks like this issue should be fixed in https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/pull/1491 but we still can reproduce it.

The exception happens in this line of react-native code: https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/ReactAndroid/src/main/java/com/facebook/react/jstasks/HeadlessJsTaskContext.java#L98

Looks like that happen because reactContext.getLifecycleState() == LifecycleState.RESUMED condition is true.

Stacktrace:

@Salakar can you take a look please?

[vrozaev]

@Ehesp can you take a look please?

[mikehardy]

I think you might want to paste in the full code you use to define and register the headless task. And is there some pattern to when the error occurs? How frequent, maybe on some devices not others? I'm not sure where you'd get control in the stack you presented as I read the relevant react-native code and it doesn't look to me like react-native-firebase even has control there?

@mikehardy

I think you might want to paste in the full code you use to define and register the headless task. And is there some pattern to when the error occurs?

react-native-firebase has no control there, but it's not about control. It's about when RNFirebaseBackgroundMessage was triggered. If it triggered in foreground it's lead us to exception, as I said before I find similar issue in react-native-firebase: https://github.com/invertase/react-native-firebase/pull/1491. Can you check this? Maybe it wasn't fixed properly?

Code on my side looks like this: AppRegistry.registerHeadlessTask('RNFirebaseBackgroundMessage', () => backgroundMessagingAndroid);
 
If I understand correctly - I just add function which should be called on RNFirebaseBackgroundMessage. But I receive exception before backgroundMessagingAndroid was called. So probably it's not my fault.

And is there some pattern to when the error occurs?

Looks like error occurs when we receive some push notification.

How frequent, maybe on some devices not others?

5-30 events per day (it's depends), different devices, different android versions:

[tominou]

I got the same crash reports on crashlytics

[neyosoft]

I got the same crash today when the app is in the background and I received a notification.

[OlegPanfyorov]

Seeing same crash in Sentry right now.

[tuledev]

I got it too.

[vrozaev]

@Salakar @Ehesp @mikehardy any attention to this issue? Please?

[mikehardy]

Sorry I'm not sure what to do about this one. Perhaps it's possible to do something in this project to make taskConfig.isAllowedInForeground() true? But I haven't looked into it deeply and don't have a lot of experience with the headless tasks and messaging myself

[mikehardy]

Also, this may not be popular, but I see from the original entry at least that you are on RNFB v5.3, can you still reproduce this on v5.5.6 + most current android firebase sdks (that's BoM 24.1.0 I think)

[heroic]

This happens to me on 5.5.6 as well

Hello 👋, to help manage issues we automatically close stale issues.
This issue has been automatically marked as stale because it has not had activity for quite some time. Has this issue been fixed, or does it still require the community's attention?

This issue will be closed in 15 days if no further activity occurs.
Thank you for your contributions.

[stale[bot]]

Closing this issue after a prolonged period of inactivity. If this is still present in the latest release, please feel free to create a new issue with up-to-date information.

[rhoglund]

Still an issue. I could reproduce this by closing the app, sending a push to it, and at the same time opening the app in the foreground.

Then a race condition occurs, if the react-native-fabric module gets the push while in the background, and then tries to start the background service, but then the app enters foreground... then it will crash.

A possible fix would be to pass in 'allowedInForeground: true' in HeadlessJsTaskConfig inside
RNFirebaseBackgroundMessagingService.

However I'm not sure this would be the best solution? App would go into the foreground, and then a call would come in on the headless task entry point...

[sivakumar-cf]

I am also facing the same issue. I am in react-native-firebase v5.6.0

[huyhai]

any updates ?

[luatnd]

I have same issue on version ~5.6.4~ 5.5.6 (updated)

This version seems to be fixed but it's not!
https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/releases/v5.0.0

[mikehardy]

@luatnd there is no version 5.6.4

[daisy1754]

@mikehardy can you reopen this issue as it seems this is still ongoing? It's #1 crash for our app per crashlytics so it would be great if this is fixed

[mikehardy]

Sure - the community will have to come up with something though, the v5.x.x series is on life support only and as a maintainer I have 2 fixes queued for release - I'm willing to do a release - but they are community driven. I'll take solid PRs and get them out there but I don't have time to investigate unfortunately

[daisy1754]

@mikehardy thanks Mike - just sent out PR - #3311
