Integration with React Native Firebase V6. Initial Notification on Android is undefined

[spaquis]

Hi,
I integrate your librairy with react native firebase v6 (cloud messaging).
I receive the notification on Android, but when i click on it, the notification is undefined (PendingNotifications.getInitialNotification()) :
Initial notification was: N/A

I made no change on AndroidManifest.xml (Autolinking)
When app is opened, the "notificationOpenListener" work correctly

Could you help me ?
Thanks

Got the same problem and have to add some native workaround to make it work :s

Hi @Aurelienlajoinie ,
Could you share your native workaround plz ?

[Aurelienlajoinie]

I use something like this in MainActivity.java:

    @Override
    public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        super.onNewIntent(intent);
        setIntent(intent);
        // .....
        handleReactNativeNotifications();
    }

public void handleReactNativeNotifications() {
       Bundle intent = this.getIntent().getExtras();
       if (intent != null && (intent.getBoolean(LAUNCH_FROM_PUSH_FLAG) == true
           || intent.get("google.message_id") != null)) {
           WritableMap params =  Arguments.fromBundle(intent);
           sendEventToJavaScript(mReactInstanceManager.getCurrentReactContext(), NOTIFICATION_OPENED_EVENT_NAME, params);
       }
   }

And the flag is set in my custom PushNotification class:

public class FirebaseCloudMessagingPushNotification extends PushNotification {
    public FirebaseCloudMessagingPushNotification(Context context, Bundle bundle, AppLifecycleFacade appLifecycleFacade, AppLaunchHelper appLaunchHelper, JsIOHelper jsIoHelper) {
        super(context, bundle, appLifecycleFacade, appLaunchHelper, jsIoHelper);
    }

    @Override
    protected Notification.Builder getNotificationBuilder(PendingIntent intent) {
        final Resources resources = mContext.getResources();
        Bundle intentBundle =  mNotificationProps.asBundle();
        RemoteMessage remoteMessage = new RemoteMessage(intentBundle);
        final Notification.Builder builder = super.getNotificationBuilder(intent);

        // Set Notification content
        builder.setContentTitle(remoteMessage.getNotification().getTitle());
        builder.setContentText(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());

        Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(mContext, MainActivity.class);
        notificationIntent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
        notificationIntent.putExtras(intentBundle);
        notificationIntent.putExtra(LAUNCH_FROM_PUSH_FLAG, true);
        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(mContext, 0, notificationIntent,
                PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
        builder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        return builder;
    }
}

Hope it helps someone :)

Thanks for sharing this @Aurelienlajoinie . I finally decided to downgrade react native firebase to v5 but I will try your solution on a sample project :)

[efstathiosntonas]

@Aurelienlajoinie can you please share the whole MainActivity.java or the whole files/classes?

[Aurelienlajoinie]

@efstathiosntonas my workaround doesn't work anymore with version 3.1.1 :s i have to find another solution.

[efstathiosntonas]

Thanks, if you manage to find a solution it would be great to post it here :)
