Android crashes when receiving notification

See original GitHub issue

I’m running into the following issue when using the latest react-native-fcm@1.0.16 and react-native@0.30

I have setup the package as outlined in the documentation with the only thing still not quite clear to me whether to add the public onNewIntent() method to MainActivity.java. i get the same crash whether i add it or not though so it does not seem to make a difference.

I thnk the docs are a bit unclear here since RN>0.29 apps now use MainApplication.java for additional activity methods as far as i can tell.

Either way, what happens is; while notifications are received fine on the device (tested on simulator) once a notification is received when the app is not in focus or started and you start the app it immediately crashes.

I get the following stack trace from Android Studio:
