Notification pop up doesn't show onNotification triggered for remote notifications

Bug

Remote notification doesn’t pop up on Android when app is in background/killed.onNotification method triggered though. Side note: Notification pop up was working back in version 3.1.3 but now i have upgraded the RN version so it stops working.

Environment info

Ho! Didn’t notice, the payload you send is not the payload that should be send in this case. You send data but you should send a notification. Two solutions:

• Change the payload of your server from data to notification
• Trigger local notification with values inside notification.data when onNotification is triggered.
