React native background actions intent app - react-native

Question

I am using react native background actions but as i am getting a notification when i click on the notification. I is opening gallery in the app by default. I want to open my app. Not able to get how can i open app on click on the notification.
const options = {
taskName: 'Downloading',
taskTitle: 'ExampleTask title',
taskDesc: 'ExampleTask description',
taskIcon: {
name: 'ic_launcher',
type: 'mipmap',
},
color: '#ff00ff',
linkingURI: 'yourSchemeHere://chat/jane', // See Deep Linking for more info
parameters: {
delay: 15000,
},
};
Not getting how to use linking to open my app instead of the gallery using intent filter or something else.

Answer 1

In order to open the respective app when the user clicks on the notification of react native background action service.
Take these two steps -
Add intent filter on AndroidManifest.xml located at android/app/src/main. Under application activity tag.
Also, verify this line "android:launchMode="singleTask"" should be
there in activity tag. if not then please add it
<intent-filter android:label="filter_react_native">
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
<data android:scheme="technomizeEMS" /> // Your custom scheme name then in second step we'll add this on linkingURI
</intent-filter>
Add linkingUri in the configuration option of the start method. (The important takeaway for linkingURI is to add the same name as added on intent-filter
in data tag android:scheme in AndroidManifest.xml and also append :// )
const options = {
taskName: 'Task Name',
taskTitle: 'Task Title',
taskDesc: 'Task Description',
taskIcon: {
name: 'ic_launcher',
type: 'mipmap',
},
color: '#ff00ff',
// The important take away for linkingURI is to add same name as added on intent-filter
// in data tag android:scheme in AndroidManifest.xml and also append ://
linkingURI: 'technomizeEMS://', // See Deep Linking for more info
parameters: {
delay: 1000,
},
};
await BackgroundService.start(this.veryIntensiveTask, options);
