Cannot use Firebase Background Data Messages feature
See original GitHub issueDescription
I’m using react-native-firebase to send notifications. But when I send data notification, when the app is in background/killed, it crashes the app.
Current behavior
It crashes the application.
Expected Behavior
It should start the app and perform the logic written in the HeadlessJs Task defined in the index.native.js file.
Possible Solution
Implement com.facebook.react.ReactApplication class for this to work
Steps to reproduce
- Add firebase messaging in your app.
- Register Firebase Token and copy it to the clipboard.
- Send data message(not notification) payload through the admin server using FCM API.
- Then you’ll be able to see the app crashing.
