onNotification called only when notification toast is tapped

Before posting details about the configured plugin I would ask you if you may know what are the possible causes for this issue: onNotification eventi is fired only when notification toast is tapped. The desired behavior is to get onNotification fired when the remote notification arrives even if the user doesn’t tap it.

configurePushNotifications() is called outside of a RN component.

RN version: 0.63.2 RN Push Notification version: 4.0.0

function configurePushNotifications() {

  PushNotification.configure({

    onRegister: async token => {
      store.dispatch(updateNotificationsInstallationToken(token.token));
    },


    onNotification: notification => {
      console.log('🎈 push arrived! (' + Platform.OS + ')') // We get this balloon only if the user taps the notification...
      console.log('push details: ' + JSON.stringify(notification))

      ...

      notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
    },
    senderID: gcmSenderId
  });
}

I’m also interested in having the onNotification callback called whenever a scheduled local notification is received, instead of the onNotification being called when I tap on the notification. From what I’m reading on the link that you shared it seems that I might be wanting to look into “silent remote push notifications”, correct? If yes, then, can I achieve this without using a server? Before going off to Google, it might be worth asking if you have an example of how one might achieve this or how one has achieved this.

Also, thanks for all the hard work on the library!

Hi @mstaicu As said previously, scheduled notifications cannot trigger onNotification before being tapped. And remote notification needs to be send from an external services (your server or some SaaS plateform). Regards,
