Android: 'onNotification' not executing when app is closed and clicked to notification

[android] Hello, when I put app in the background and I get push notification then onNotification is executed as I expect. But when I close app (using android back button) and I get push notification then onNotification is not executed.

I know onNotification is fired from Java in onNewIntent method. But I really need to pass some data from notification into JavaScript when application was closed before and I click on notification.

How to do it?

shouldnt some of this be in the documentation ? it ended up working for me but its fairly non trivial to understand that you need a specific message format to get a notification displayed and clicked with the app closed to trigger onNotification

Hey @kfiroo @amrdraz I’ve no idea why now is working 😐

This is what I did, I was using firebase endpoint (not working), then I changed to test using the code of @amrdraz (using GCM endpoint), start working, rollback and test again with firebase endpoint, works… 😕

Is possible that switching between endpoint could fix something behind scenes?

Another note is that data nested inside data is not required, the next request works on both (GCM, FCM):

curl -X POST -H "Authorization: key=<MY_KEY>" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '
{
  "data": {
      "title": "Hello there",
      "message": "some message text",
  },
  "to" : "<DEVICE_TOKEN>"
}' 'https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send'

And from React native:

module.exports = React.createClass({
    componentWillMount() {
        PushNotification.configure({
            // popInitialNotification: true,
            onNotification: (notification) => {
                console.log(notification)
            }
        })
    }
})

Thank’s guys for the help!
