onNotification not called when opening local notification in headless state (android)

Bug

I want to handle remote push notifications (PN) from FCM in my app by sending silent remote PNs that trigger a local PN (as advised in this package’s troubleshooting guide). This works for all states but one: When the app is in quit state and receives a remote PN, the background task is launched, onNotification called and a local PN is created (PushNotification.configure is called as well). When this local PN is opened, the onNotification method is not called. If the app is in background state and receives a remote PN, the local PN is created and onNotification called as expected when it is opened.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Following this package’s installation instruction
2. Setting up FCM
3. Implemented a singleton notification interface that is called outside of the react scope (see index.js)
4. Started app in debug mode on physical android device (SM-A520F) with Android 8.0.0
5. Quit the app after it successfully started first
6. Sent FCM message via Postman:

{
"to": "eGZXrIp-Suu4HTicVNzbjB:APA91bF5Y68YR-BvYtIpX_p1drT8Io5wTV1Mh_2Y6OGSgX_XzbP0rDQWIxj2YuRUBX6JiZvrshMHQ5t9FLxOp42fQfCUzRq9lKbsm4av0ECVlkeq0aQWlhV-kRDLwgIU03iXQbpl8uii",
"data": {
    "path": "Settings",  //data content
    "create_local": true,  //If a local PN should be created
    "text": "Remote notif"  //Text to display in local PN
  }
  "priority": "high",
  "content_available": true  //required for iOS silent PN
}

1. Open local PN

Describe what you expected to happen:

1. App background task spins up and onNotification is called with respective log output (“remote notif received”)
2. Local PN is shown
3. When local PN is opened, onNotification is called with log output “opened app with notif” (which unfortunately is not happening)

The issue is due to splash activity Edit the manifest like this and it gonna work:

      <activity
        android:name=".SplashActivity"
        android:theme="@style/SplashTheme"
        android:label="@string/app_name">
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
  <activity
    android:name=".MainActivity"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:configChanges="keyboard|keyboardHidden|orientation|screenSize"
    android:windowSoftInputMode="adjustResize" >
      <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
      <category android:name="android.intent.category.INFO" />
      </intent-filter>
    </activity>
