onMessageReceivedCallback works in foreground and background but not if app is closed (e.g. swiped from recents)

The onMessageReceivedCallback handler works just fine when the app is running in foreground or when I minimize it. Whenever I close it, for example by swiping it from the recents, it will not work anymore.

When it’s in this state the only notifications that come through (to the tray) are these kind:

notification: {
  title: 'Title',
  body: 'Body'
}

But what I need is this:

data = {
  messageId: '1519656340496',
  userId: 'USER_ID',
  date: '1519656340496',
  text: 'Text Message',
  type: 'message',
  messageCollectionId: 'messages',
  channelId: 'CHANNEL_ID',
  displayName: 'USER_NAME'
}

However the app only receives them after launching the app.

This line is already active in the include.gradle file:

compile "com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:$firebaseVersion"

Both services are enabled in AppManifest.xml:

<service android:name="org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseInstanceIDService">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT"/>
  </intent-filter>
</service>
<service android:name="org.nativescript.plugins.firebase.MyFirebaseMessagingService">
  <intent-filter>
    <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
  </intent-filter>
</service>

onMessageReceivedCallback is initialized directly in the .init() function in app.js. I’m sending to a topic which the user subscribes to when he logs in.

Other things that might be useful to know for debugging: I’ve also added these parameters

android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize"
android:launchMode="singleTop"

@erkanarslan I do not believe this is true. Using the Quickstart Android demo (https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-android/blob/master/messaging/README.md) I am able to get onMessageReceived() even after swiping the app and from there I can build local notifications to show the user.

On the other hand, even with the latest 6.20 nativescript plugin, onMessageReceived() will not be called for me once I swipe the app. My manifest is identical to the one from Android Quickstart and get the same behavior as @trashbytes.

@EddyVerbruggen Is this the expected behavior and if so why does it deviate from original FCM behavior? I have replicated this using the demo and a new app with the plugin installed. Devices used : s8, One plus 3T, Pixel and a Moto on OS versions 24 & 26.

Still don’t have any concrete solution to this problem?
