Take time to search in issue history

@Dallas62
Would you mind sharing issue link. I have tried few of fix form issues history none of them did’t work.

Note: Iam on IOS and my app is not in background app is closed/killed.

[Dallas62]

For Android you can look at: https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification/issues?q=is%3Aissue+splashscreen
and https://github.com/zo0r/react-native-push-notification#android-manual-installation

If your app has an @OverRide on onNewIntent in MainActivity.java ensure that function includes a super call on onNewIntent (if your MainActivity.java does not have an @OverRide for onNewIntent skip this):

    @Override
    public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
        ...
        super.onNewIntent(intent);
        ...
    }

For iOS:
There is your issue opened and this one: react-native-push-notification/ios#24

@Dallas62 , Does this “popInitialNotification” method works for local notifications as well or just for remote notification??

[Dallas62]

It's working only from killed state, but yes for all kind of notifications

[garrettmaring]

@Dallas62 I've searched through lot of history and still struggling to handle, on iOS, notifications from a killed state.

I've seen a couple random things saying to disabled remote debugging and to build the product in release mode, strange that those would interfere with notifications but I did that.

Given my understanding of popInitialNotification, I thought things would just work out of the box. That is, onNotification would be called from a killed state. That isn't happening.

So, I see popInitialNotification to false and added my own handler inside the top-most component with a useEffect(() => { PN.popInitialNotification(handler) }, []. That also doesn't work.

I've tried some other things and started messing around with PNIOS.getInitialNotification with no luck. I don't want to use an iOS only handler anyway though.

From the history of this problem, where would you advise that I look to get notification handling from killed state working on iOS/Android?

Hey @Dallas62, I am new to this package. what i understood is popInitialNotification method is for a situation when your app is killed and you tap on notification. I impleted the logic but the current behaviour is sometimes i am getting notification as an object in a callback but sometime undefined. Now when I am gettting an object, My app is open and i get the notification then killing the app and tapping on notification redirects to desired screen. Second case when app is already killed and notification came, in this case tapping on notification getting undefined and hence no redirection. Could you please help I've been stuck on this for like 5 days.
