How to prevent app from coming to foreground on notification action click

In a Headless.js task I trigger a localPushNotification with notification actions.

PushNotification.localNotification({
  title: REQUEST_TITLE,
  message: REQUEST_MESSAGE,   
  playSound: false,
  soundName: "default",
  actions: '["Yes", "No"]',
});

I configured the handling this way:

PushNotification.configure({
    onNotification: handleNotificationClick
});

PushNotification.registerNotificationActions(["Yes", "No"]);

DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('notificationActionReceived', (event) => {
  console.log("Received notification action event" + JSON.stringify(event));
});

When the app is in background and I click one of the notification actions, the application is launched and brought to foreground. The onNotification handler is called, the DeviceEventEmitter.addListener callback is not called.

Does anyone know how to solve this issue? I want to handle the notification action click without bringing the application to the foreground. The configuration of the push notifications is executed in the componentWillMount method in App.js.

My setup is:

• react-native: 0.59.5
• react-native-push-notifications: 3.1.9

Thanks in advance!

So far it seems to work like a glove! I also like the new way of handling the actions. Good work! I will let you know if I find any issues or bugs.

I strongly believe that Open Source Development should be supported more. If you are the new maintainer of this project @Dallas62 and enable Sponsoring for this repo I will be happy to show my support and gratitude 😃

@Dallas62 Hi! Is it possible to prevent app invocation on action press on iOS?
