I can't see background notification data

[ysancak]

Hello,
I initiate a manual notification in the background with a request from the server. I can see the data when I receive the notification when the application is open, but when the application is closed, there is no data when I click on the notification

I did it by double checking the settings again. the notification receive is OK, but I cannot get the data.

what i want: whenI click on the notification, the application should open and open a page according to the data. (not if there is data or not, according to the user id. There is always data in it)

Hi @yusufsancakk
Can you provide information ?
You are talking about notification/data and probably logs but there is nothing in the issue.
How can we help you with out:

• Notification payload
• .configure()
• and probably the code that should handle redirection ?

[ysancak]

I send a notification through my server and it contains data. so far it's not about your library. If it's been 1 hour, I create a notification with your library in the background;

PushNotification.localNotification({ smallIcon: 'ic_noti_icon', title: remoteMessage.data.title, message: "Haberin detayını okumak için dokunun", });

I get a notification, but when I click on the notification, I can't see the data. Trying to capture actions like this in ComponentDitMount on App.js page:

`async componentDidMount(){

PushNotification.configure({
  
  onRegister: function (token) {
    console.log("TOKEN:", token);
  },

  onNotification: function (notification) {
    console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);
  },

  onAction: function (notification) {
    console.log("ACTION:", notification.action);
    console.log("NOTIFICATION:", notification);
  },

  onRegistrationError: function(err) {
    console.error(err.message, err);
  },

  permissions: {
    alert: true,
    badge: true,
    sound: true,
  },

  popInitialNotification: true,

  requestPermissions: true,
  
});`

If the application is open;
onNotification () works but Action () doesn't work when I click

If the application is closed;
nothing happens when i click all logs are empty

hi @yusufsancakk
The problem is that you are trying to catch background task in a component.
You must put .configure() and any logic that run in background outside of a component.

onAction is called only when the application is in background and invokeApp is false and also there is actions set, it's not the case in your example.

[ysancak]

how can i solve this? When I send a data in the notification and start the application, how do I show that data?

[Dallas62]

If you need to forward data in the localNotification, you can use:

PushNotification.localNotification({ smallIcon: 'ic_noti_icon', title: remoteMessage.data.title, message: "Haberin detayını okumak için dokunun",  data: remoteMessage.data  });

[ysancak]

I check the incoming data and send it, but I cannot receive the data. I tried invokeApp. Only the token getToken is working. I can't get actions and data
[Wed Jul 22 2020 14:49:53.157] LOG TOKEN: {"os": "android", "token": "dgNzLtwCTiSj15-zR1d7Ew:APA91bEFfKDJ8SoK5sE_61s0KoiVCVPGWdYJgD1Jcglw8RevNcpuYcQbT3KVcWG6S63UHq6rxptr6cExXcRzjj0FQLODjGPFYjrxrA0MOfqJEonUX"}

[Dallas62]

Did you put the .configure() outside of the component App ?

[ysancak]

.configure() in componentDidMount ()

[Dallas62]

Don't do that, put it outside of ANY component

[ysancak]

Yeah! When I wrote other than App.js, I was able to see the data when the background notification came. But I want to capture the data when I click. Not when the notification arrives

[Dallas62]

You need to use PushNotification.getInitialNotification(callback) to get the notification that open the Application

[ysancak]

Yes. I get such an error when I use it

Possible Unhandled Promise Rejection (id: 4): TypeError: _reactNativePushNotification.default.getInitialNotification is not a function. (In '_reactNativePushNotification.default.getInitialNotification()', '_reactNativePushNotification.default.getInitialNotification' is undefined) componentDidMount$

[Dallas62]

Sorry, on this library it's popInitialNotification, this was the iOS library method.

[ysancak]

so there is no solution for android?

[ysancak]

I ran the popInitialNotification function for android but i see 'null' in log

[Dallas62]

There is probably an activity that intercept the notification, look in issues, this case has been already reported and solved.

@yusufsancakk can you try hitting the below API from the postman with the required headers & body. Just wanted to check if you are passing the payload correctly for Android.

To see how the custom data is nested for different app states like foreground/killed you can refer the below post
https://medium.com/enappd/firebase-push-notifications-in-react-native-apps-d9f60726ce9c

FCM API
https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send

HEADERS
Authorization: key=YOUR_SERVER_KEY,
Content-Type: application/json

BODY
{
"to" : "YOUR_DEVICE_TOKEN",
"notification" : {
"body": "Body of Your Notification",
"title": "Title of Your Notification"
},
"data" : {
"campaign_id" : 45,
"body": "Body of Your Notification",
"title": "Title of Your Notification"
}
}

@Dallas62 I couldn't find the solved issue. Can you send the link? and it doesn't even work on the first line in a new project

[Dallas62]

Check this one:

Solved the problem and to explain;
Splash Screen library prevents sending data to a MainActivity
When editing SplashActivity file as below, the problem is solved and popInitialNotification is working

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
       intent.putExtras(getIntent().getExtras()); //added this line
       startActivity(intent);
       finish();
}

@yusufsancakk thanks for the suggested solution. Can you advice regarding SplashActivity.java file ? I don't see this file neither on the native android files of react-native-splash-screen nor on the android RN project itself. Did you create this or ... ? I need just some basic details to get this up and running, thanks :)

[matanrokach]

@yusufsancakk you saved my day!! I was looking for this solution for a couple of days!

[ysancak]

@marudy Yes. I created the SplashScreen.java file. You can do this by reading this article: https://medium.com/@appstud/add-a-splash-screen-to-a-react-native-app-810492e773f9
