React-native-push-notification: Sending localnotification when app is closed/in background using react-native-background-task (Android))

[AndyRC6]

I'm attempting to send local notifications when the app is closed or in the background using the react-native-background-task module in an Android environment. I have no problems sending local notifications when the application is active, but the notifications will not show up when the app is running in the background.

I am monitoring the background task using:

$ adb logcat *:S ReactNative:V ReactNativeJS:V BackgroundTask:V

I get the message that the "Job is running", but no notifications pop up as they should. Here is a sample of my code.

import React, {Component} from "react";
import {AppRegistry, AsyncStorage} from 'react-native';
import PushNotification from 'react-native-push-notification';
import BackgroundTask from 'react-native-background-task'

BackgroundTask.define( async () => {

    PushNotification.configure({
        onNotification: function(notification) {
            console.log('NOTIFICATION: ', notification);
        },
        popInitialNotification: true,
    });

    PushNotification.localNotification({
        bigText: "My big text", 
        subText: "This is a subText", 
        message: "My Notification Message" 
    })

    BackgroundTask.finish()
  });

type Props = {};
export default class PushNotifications extends Component<Props>{
    state = {
    }

    componentDidMount = () => {
        BackgroundTask.schedule()
    }


    render() {
        return null;

    }

};

I have the same problem.

I receive a notification like this:

{foreground: false, finish: ƒ, google.delivered_priority: "normal", google.sent_time: 1561651708077, google.ttl: 2419200, …}
body: "Oito para as seis"
finish: ƒ finish()
foreground: false
google.delivered_priority: "normal"
google.message_id: "0:1561651708079685%630155f3f9fd7ecd"
google.original_priority: "normal"
google.sent_time: 1561651708077
google.ttl: 2419200
id: "-1747385201"
title: "test"
url: "https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/issues/1105"
userInteraction: false

then i call this

        PushNotification.localNotification({
          title,
          message,
          url: articleURL,
        });

And nothing happens, only a old huawei device that i have shows the notification. Recent phones dont.

I was able to fix my code in order to receive notifications. I was missing in the android manifest these lines from the README. I think the documentation for this library should be more clean and more well explained. Anyway, it's a good framework and it works.

        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_name"
                android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL NAME"/>
        <meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_channel_description"
                    android:value="YOUR NOTIFICATION CHANNEL DESCRIPTION"/>

No success for me, I added the lines still same. When app is cleared from the RAM, no notifications are received
