Notification not fired when device is locked or app in background

[bwoodlt]

Hi all,

Have been struggling with this for a few hours. Local push notification not firing when on home screen and when device is locked. This is on iOS.

Anyone been able to solve this issue? Please help a brother.

Thanks all,

This answer helped me to solve the issue - #17 (comment)

I had to set 'content-available' => 1 property for iOS push notification object, as stated here - https://developer.apple.com/library/content/documentation/iPhone/Conceptual/iPhoneOSProgrammingGuide/BackgroundExecution/BackgroundExecution.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH4-SW57

This keys forces app to watch for this notification in background mode.

@IgorUsoltsev did you set 'content-available' inside your PushNotification.LocationNotification({ "content-available" : 1}}?

Here's my code and setup:

Have got this code in my PushNotification.js file.

  const PushNotification = require('react-native-push-notification');

   PushNotification.configure({

   onNotification: (notification) => {
    if (!notification.userInteraction) {
      PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(0);
    }
    if (notification.foreground) {
      PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(0);
    }

    notification.finish(PushNotificationIOS.FetchResult.NoData);
    },
    popInitialNotification: true,

  requestPermissions: true,
  'content-available': 1
});

And when using, I use like so:

PushNotification.localNotification({
              title,
              message
            });

I also have in my componentDidMount() this bits:

 componentDidMount() {
    AppState.addEventListener('change', (state) => {
      if (state === 'active') {
        PushNotification.popInitialNotification((notification) => {
          if (notification) {
            Alert.alert(notification);
            // onNotification(notification);
          }
        });
        PushNotification.setApplicationIconBadgeNumber(0);
      }
    });

I get notifications when app is in background but not when device is locked or not active. I'm probably missing something..

@bwoodlt I send them from my backend server. But I guess this could work from local notification as well.

As for your locked/not active device - I didn't meet this issue as I use APN/GCM to send messages. And they come as generic push notifications that you can open anytime and launch app.

change your 'active' to 'backgroud'

@bwoodlt How did you solve this issue?

I had the same issue because the 'Do Not Disturb' feature on my iPhone was turned on. When turning that off it worked again.
