getInitialNotification() is not retrieving APNs notification

[mendozammatias]

We have an app with notifee and react-native-firebase/messaging to handle notifications.

This app is integrated with Sendbird chat service which uses APNs instead of FCM for sending iOS push notifications. We’ve found that in that case, getInitialNotification is always returning null value.

In the same device, if we send notifications using FCM we get the right value from this callback.

We’ve tried integrating the Remote notification support too but it’s still working as described.

Is there any way to get the notification that opened the app even if it’s not coming from FCM?

Thanks in advance.

getInitialNotification is an android only event.
You can receive these on iOS via onForegroundEvent and checking the type is a click.

@upngo I was able to receive the notification and data from onForegroundEvent when app is in the foreground, but not when the app is in background. Is it possible?

{"notification": {"body": "body", "data": {}, "id": "9DFA698A-U9K1-4D83-9FA9-D0A8B37D6B23", "image": "https://picsum.photos/1200/800.jpg", "remote": true, "title": "title"}, "pressAction": {"id": "default"}}

Payload:

    "notification": {
        "title": "title",
        "body": "body",
        "image": "https://picsum.photos/1200/800.jpg"
    },
    "data": {
        "patrimony": "{\"name\":\"Casa\",\"id\":\"d7449\"}"
    },
    "android": {
    
        "notification": {
            "channel_id": "critical"
        }
    },
    "apns": {
        "payload": {
            "aps": {
                "mutable-content": 1,
                "content-available": 1,
                "sound": {
                    "critical": 1,
                    "name": "alert",
                    "volume": 1.0
                }
            }
            } 
        } 
    }
