dev branch: Local Notification not showing despite AndroidManifest.xml configuration

Bug

Regression: local notifications don’t work.

The FCM message is received just fine, however even when adding to the AndroidManifest.xml:

<meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_foreground"
                    android:value="true"/>

the push notification won’t pop up.

This goes even further: I can’t even create local notifications.

Environment info

This was tested with a working app with the minimal setup, which soon after switching repositories the functionality stopped working.

@Dallas62 I did test the function PushNotification.localNotification() outside the onNotification bound function with a button press and it did work, so that part is fine I guess.

However it did not work while inside onNotification and most importantly does not show a notification when the app is on the foreground when receiving a remote notification. This is currently working fine in the latest release (4.0.0) through:

<meta-data  android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.notification_foreground"
                    android:value="true"/>

When that setting is set to true, one does need to call PushNotification.localNotification() from anywhere, it does it automatically, so I’m not sure what changed.

– EDIT – I managed to fix it with this

 onNotification: function (notification) {
        if(!notification.userInteraction) {
        PushNotification.localNotification({
            id: 0,
            largeIcon: "ic_launcher",
            smallIcon: "ic_notification",
            color: "red",
            vibrate: true,
            vibration: 300,
            channelId: xxxxx,
            onlyAlertOnce: false,
            invokeApp: true,
            title: notification.title,
            message: notification.message,
            playSound: true,
            soundName: "default",
            number: 10,
          });
        }
      },

It seems the issue lies with local push notifications not using the default channel by default (even “rn-push-notification-channel-id-4-default-300”), so instead one must specify them in a second artificially created notification through channelId: xxxxx,.

This seems like broken default behavior.
