onNotification handler not being fired

I have remote push notifications setup correctly using a 3rd party service + APNS and my iOS device is both calling the onRegister callback correctly and receiving subsequent notification alerts but the onNotification handler is not being called at all. This is a problem because it prevents me from PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber() in an appropriate manner. I’m pretty sure that the handler is not being called at all because, in Xcode, I am not even receiving the provided log output of onNotification in the example PushNotification.configure code (console.log( 'NOTIFICATION:', notification );). I am, however, receiving the log output of onRegister (console.log( 'TOKEN VALUE: ' + token );

@ndc466 is this still an issue? Or did you find a way to solve this?

@HoogsterInc I spent several hours dealing with this issue on Android the other day, and the thing that got it working was to ensure the message payload object had only a data key and nothing else.

All the time I was having troubles, my message payload object had other keys (eg “notification”) in addition to data. When that was the case, the message looked different in the Android notifications drawer (large icon was missing), and it didn’t trigger onNotification when I tapped it.

When I removed all keys other than data, the message looked the same in the notifications drawer as it did when the app was in the foreground, and it triggered onNotification when I tapped it.

I also had to take care to ensure Firebase was installed correctly, but simply following the instructions in the readme was enough to get that right.
