Created on 10 Mar 2019 · 11Comments · Source: zo0r/react-native-push-notification

everything is working fine when the app is in foreground/background. the notification is working and I
m getting the JSON. but when the app is killed or closed, nothing.

Here is AndroidManifest.xml:

` package="com.boondate">

I have the same problem here, I only use the remote notification to handle when to show up a local notification. Everything works well until the application is closed. In this mode, the onNotification method is not called.
This is my manifest file:

` package="thepackagename">

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SYSTEM_ALERT_WINDOW"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />

<permission
    android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
    android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="${applicationId}.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>


<application
  android:name=".MainApplication"
  android:launchMode="singleTask"

Does anyone know what the problem is?

Same problem at me.
But maybe this is the expected behavior ...?

So its about 5 months from opening this issue and still no answer. Can someone provide solution? I mean this is really important issue. Without that the library is kind of useless. At least for me.

I had the same problem, but I figured in my case it was caused by popInitialNotification set to false in
PushNotification.configure, setting it to true solved it.

Did anyone get solution on this? I am facing the same problem :-(

Hi guys,

I managed to successfully send local notification when the app is closed (killed) using localNotificationSchedule().

This is my Notifications.js file :

import { AppState, PushNotificationIOS } from 'react-native';
import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification';

const _handleAppStateChange = nextAppState => {
    if (nextAppState === 'active') {
        _registerLocalNotification();
    }
};

const _registerLocalNotification = () => {
    PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(0);
    PushNotification.cancelAllLocalNotifications();

    const message = 'Ceci est un test';

    //This is only for testing purpose, triggers a notification one minute after current time
    const oldDate = new Date();
    const date = new Date(oldDate.getTime() + 1*60000);

    PushNotification.localNotificationSchedule({
        /* Android Only Properties */
        vibrate: true,
        vibration: 300,
        priority: 'high',
        visibility: 'public',
        importance: 'high',

        /* iOS and Android properties */
        message, // (required)
        playSound: false,
        number: 1,
        actions: '["OK"]',

        // Production timestamp
        repeatType: 'day',
        date: date
    });
};

export default {
    register: async () => {
        PushNotification.configure({
            onNotification: function(notification) {
                notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
            },
            popInitialNotification: true,
        });

        _registerLocalNotification();

        AppState.addEventListener('change', _handleAppStateChange);
    },
    unregister: () => {
        AppState.removeEventListener('change', _handleAppStateChange);
    },
};

Then later in my App.js component :

useEffect(() => {

        //....Previous code

        Notifications.register();

        return(() => {
            Notifications.unregister();
        })
    });

Let me explain a little bit what happens here :

I'm using AppState to check when my app is active, when it's the case, I trigger my _registerLocalNotification function. In this function you can see that I'm cancelling all previous scheduled notifications first in order to prevent duplicates messages, then I register my notification.

In my main component I'm triggering my functions at mount and unmount (ComponentDidMount / ComponentWillUnmount classic React version if you prefer).

I tested it, and it successfully sends my notification 1 minute after I closed my app.
I was stuck 1 hour on that problem, I hope it will help some of you.
