just add this: android:launchMode="singleTask"

AndroidManifest.xml

<activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:launchMode="singleTask"

and this: https://github.com/surialabs/react-native-push-notification/commit/39d7adb

will help you with abandonPermissions for android, those who made this module probably forgot about android ...

That worked for me @prih.

@prih's solution works, thanks! I know nothing about Android, so I wonder what else changing the launchMode will affect.

android?

[artmerlop]

@prih yes, using FCM

[artmerlop]

@prih also setting popInitialNotification to true works when app is killed but the notification never clears after reading it.

[prih]

@artmerlop hmm... did not meet such a problem.

[artmerlop]

@prih however the main issue that I can't solve is the onNotification not firing when the app is inactive but not killed.

Hi,

Can you provide more information?

• OS ?
• AndroidManifest
• Implementation ?
• reproductible example?

Note that onNotification will not be called if the app is killed/background. Only if the user press the notification when the app is killed/background.

[tomthornton]

@Dallas62 I'm on iOS. Works fine for local notifications, but it's not being called when the notification is pressed when the app is in the background. I'm also using react-native-firebase/messaging to get the FCM token.

[Dallas62]

For iOS, I suggest you to take a look to the iOS library, react-native-community/push-notification-ios which is the Library for iOS.
This library just provide a binding over iOS library.
There is some issues on the case you reported.

@Dallas62 great thank you!
