onNotification() is not fired when app is in background.

I am able to get logs on the console from onNotification() method when app is open (in foreground), but not getting any when app is closed (not killed).

Here is my code -

PushNotification.configure({
            // (required) Called when a remote or local notification is opened or received
            onNotification: function (notification) {
                console.log(notification);
            },
            // IOS ONLY (optional): default: all - Permissions to register.
            permissions: {
                alert: true,
                badge: true,
                sound: true
            },
            // Should the initial notification be popped automatically
            // default: true
            popInitialNotification: true,
            /**

React Native Push Notifications clearly states that we need to call configure outside of the React Native Lifecycle. This is very important.

@atebit why is this the way it is? I need to navigate and do react things in the onNotification() call back.
