React-native-notifications: When the app is on the background, the "registerNotificationReceivedBackground" event is not fired

[Moreno97]

Using the last version, 3.1.1, when the app is on the background, the registerNotificationReceivedBackground event is not fired.

The documentation says it's supported but it's not working (https://wix.github.io/react-native-notifications/docs/general-events#registernotificationreceivedbackground)

Notifications.events().registerNotificationReceivedBackground(
  (
    notification: Notification,
    completion: (response: NotificationCompletion) => void,
  ) => {
    console.log('Notification Received - Background', notification.payload);

    // Calling completion on iOS with `alert: true` will present the native iOS inApp notification.
    completion({
      alert: false,
      sound: false,
      badge: false,
    });
  },
);

Besides this, the registerNotificationReceivedForeground event is working as expected.

@Moreno97 does registerNotificationReceivedBackground works when app is killed?

[Moreno97]

Hello @mikaarefyev, it's not working when the app is killed by the user. No events fired (though the notification is received correctly).

I checked in native code and seems guys didn't implement this method

For background push notifications (not cold start) this worked for me 445
