onNotification not getting called

Bug

I’m trying to use remote silent notifications to wake up my app and run some logic as a result of waking up, but my onNotification is never called. onRegister works fine and I get the token when the app starts, but no other method is called.

I’m using Firebase Python Admin SDK to send the test notifications. Noisy notification are received fine by the phone, when I click on them my App starts but the onNotification code is not called in that case either.

The silent notification im sending in python is:

message = messaging.Message(
        data={
            'foo': 'bar',
        },
        token=TOKEN,
    )

I’ve managed to get remote data-only notifications working by adding (on top of everything we’ve discussed so far on the thread) the following to the <application> section in my AndroidManifest.xml:

      <service
        android:name="com.dieam.reactnativepushnotification.modules.RNPushNotificationListenerService"
        android:exported="false" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
        </intent-filter>
      </service>

By data-only notifications I mean like this example using the python Firebase Admin SDK:

    message = messaging.Message(
        data={
            'foo': 'bar',
        },
        token=TOKEN,
    )
    response = messaging.send(message)
