Deep linking issue when the app is open in background react native - react-native

Question

I am facing an issue related to deep linking in react native. Deep linking is implemented for both ios and android. I am using deep linking to confirm user's account. User click on confirm my account on email sent to him which should ideally redirect him back to the application. Upon clicking the confirmation link, it does redirect it to the app.
If the app is closed, everything works fine and the user gets confirmed. But the issue is that if the app is already open, upon redirecting, it does not confirm the user.
This is my code that I have written in main entry file (App.js)
useEffect(() => {
Linking.getInitialURL().then(url => {
if (url == null) {
return;
} else {
handleDeepLink(url);
}
});
let subcribtion = Linking.addEventListener('url', handleDeepLink);
subcribtion.subscriber;
return () => {
subcribtion.remove();
};
}, []);
Here is my implementation in AndroidManifest.xml
<intent-filter >
<data android:scheme="com.sensights" android:host="open" />
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
</intent-filter >
<intent-filter android:autoVerify="true" android:label="stage01.random.ai">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="http" android:host="stage01.random.ai"
android:pathPrefix="/"
/>
<data android:scheme="https" android:host="stage01.random.ai"
android:pathPrefix="/"
/>
</intent-filter>
I also tried using App State from react native. But the issue with it is when comes on the foreground, Linking.getInitialURL() returns null.
My react native version is 0.70.5, react-navigation version is 4.4.4 and I am using universal links as deep linking approach.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I was trying to confirm user account via deep linking but was unable to confirm user when the app was in background
