Expo Development Tools
1

when app is closed then sent the notification via the Expo Notifications service. notification show in device but when tapping on notification

 [addNotificationReceivedListener 
addNotificationResponseReceivedListener]

none of these two listeners triggerd.

when app is in Foreground or in background it’s working fine. but problem occurs when app is closed.

expo sdk :- 39
“expo-notifications”: “~0.7.2”,
Platform :- Android

import * as Notifications from "expo-notifications";

constructor(props) {
      super(props);
      this.notificationListener = React.createRef();
      this.responseListener = React.createRef();
    }

    componentDidMount() {
      this.notificationListener.current = Notifications.addNotificationReceivedListener(
          (notification) => {
            this._handleNotification(
              notification.request.content,
              "foreground"
            );
          }
        );

        this.responseListener.current = Notifications.addNotificationResponseReceivedListener(
          (response) => {
            this._handleNotification(
              response.notification.request.content,
              "background"
            );
          }
        );
    }
    componentWillUnmount() {
      Notifications.removeNotificationSubscription(this.notificationListener);
      Notifications.removeNotificationSubscription(this.responseListener);
    }
_handleNotification = (notification, type) => {
   Alert.alert(JSON.stringify(notification));
}

Hi @026binit, have you figured out any solution?
My environment is just like yours, and I face the same issue :frowning:

Same thing here… only on Android (on iOS it works).

It depends on Android Phone. In my case I need to go to app’s settings and turn on allow running in background. Some devices block notifications.

It worked for me with the previous notification API and I didn’t have to touch anything on the device. The truth is that this makes it difficult to generate certain actions that are linked to the notification
