React-native-firebase: Notification not received when app is in foreground

Created on 9 Oct 2019 · 5Comments · Source: invertase/react-native-firebase

Issue

I am using
react native 0.59.5V
react-native-firebase 5.5.6V

My code for receiving notification is

              this.notificationListener = firebase
            .notifications()
            .onNotification(notification => {
                const { title, body } = notification;
                const deviceTrayNotification = new firebase.notifications.Notification()
                    .setTitle(title)
                    .setBody(body)
                .setNotificationId(notification.notificationId)
                    .setSound("default")
                .setData(notification._android._notification._data)
                    .android.setPriority(firebase.notifications.Android.Priority.High)
                    .android.setChannelId("foregroundNotification") // previously created
                    .android.setAutoCancel(true); // To remove notification when tapped on it

                firebase.notifications().displayNotification(deviceTrayNotification);
            });

    /*
     * If your app is in background, you can listen for when a notification is clicked / tapped / opened as follows:
     * */
    this.notificationOpenedListener = firebase
        .notifications()
        .onNotificationOpened(notificationOpen => {
            const { title, body } = notificationOpen.notification;
        });

    /*
     * If your app is closed, you can check if it was opened by a notification being clicked / tapped / opened as follows:
     * */
    const notificationOpen = await firebase
        .notifications()
        .getInitialNotification();
    if (notificationOpen) {
        const { title, body } = notificationOpen.notification;
    }
    /*
     * Triggered for data only payload in foreground
     * */
    this.messageListener = firebase.messaging().onMessage(message => {
        //process data message
    });

            const channel = new firebase.notifications.Android.Channel(
        "foregroundNotification", // channelId
        "ForegroundNotification", // channel name
        firebase.notifications.Android.Importance.High // channel importance
    ).setDescription("Used for getting foreground notification"); // channel description
    firebase.notifications().android.createChannel(channel);

I am sending notifications from firebase cloud messaging console with 'target' => "user segment"
I am not getting notifications when my app is in foreground, but its working fine when app is killed or in background.

Thanks.

launchMode missing? https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/notifications/android#Update-Android-Manifest

Still not working

missing react-native info output from template - are you on RN59 or 60+?

I wonder if you need the receiver even if not doing scheduled notifications?
https://rnfirebase.io/docs/v5.x.x/notifications/android#Scheduled-Notifications-(Optional)

What does adb logcat tell you when you do the click? Also you can test the click programmatically using adb to send the intent as if a user clicked on a notification, so you can speed up your test cycle if you haven't tried it: https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#IntentSpec

Same problem from my side.
i am also not getting any response(payload) while application. In background/killed state
i am using this :-

import firebase from "react-native-firebase";
import {
Notification,
NotificationOpen,
RemoteMessage,
Firebase
} from "react-native-firebase";

firebase
.notifications()
.getInitialNotification()
.then((notificationOpen: NotificationOpen) => {
if (notificationOpen) {
alert("get data testing done")
}
});

also i am trying that 👎 but did't get any solution

firebase.messaging().onMessage((message: RemoteMessage) => {
// Process your message as required
console.log("Notification open App closed in open " + message);
});

If is there any one who can resolved this issues please update.
