Sygnal only sending data-only FCM messages

[msl2000]

Hi all,

I am trying to receive notifications to a react native app using FCM as the provider for both iOS and android.

I noticed that Sygnal seem to only be sending data-only messages and does not include the notification payload.

Am I missing something or this actually built this way? How would we send the notification payload. Any help would be appreciated..

when you get data notification, you can create notification from that data, its actually a good thing from my pov.

Only problem is that I occasionally lose data only notification when the app is starting up in the background. very prevalent in iOS even though I create a headless app.

There is a way to specify a notification field for all FCM notifications.
To do so you would add an entry in the config for a gcm pusher like this:

fcm_options:
    notification:
        body: "test body"

However, this would apply the same to every notification sent to devices that fall under that pusher.

There is currently no way to specify notification field values on a per device basis.
