See title: how to implement in-app (foreground) banner notifications with React Native Firebase Cloud Messaging?
I got it to work with the 'Alert' module but this pops up in the middle of your screen whereas I would want just a banner on the top of the screen that does not interfere with the user's actions.
messaging().onMessage(async remoteMessage => {
// Set the matchScreenParentState to 'loading' in case the message 'type' property specifies new match
// Notifications for chats don't trigger anything. That will be just socket.io
if (remoteMessage.data.notificationType==='matchFound') {
setMatchScreenParentState('loading')
Alert.alert('A new match was found!')
}
})
Looking at the documentation it shows that there are no notifications when app is in foreground but surely such a core feature must be available somehow??? https://rnfirebase.io/messaging/usage#notifications

Hi I am using Onesignal for my application to send push notifications to my application, I am able to send the push notification and getting to my app, when i click on notification nothing is happening it is just disappearing, How can i open the application and after login to application i need to got to notifications screen, Is there anything i need to configure in onesignal and my native code. As of now i have done for android. Below is the code.
In app.js:
useEffect(() => {
OneSignal.setAppId("myAppId");
OneSignal.setNotificationOpenedHandler((notification) => {
console.log("OneSignal: notification opened:", notification);
});
}, []);
In build.gradle:
implementation 'com.onesignal:OneSignal:[4.0.0, 4.99.99]'
I have a react-native app using react-native-firebase-messaging to send push notifications to android and iOS devices. I'm trying to embed a deep link in the FCM message so that users clicking on the notification will be routed to a specific section of the app. I've seen this SO post which shows how the link property can be added but it's specific to android. How can I add a deep link url to notifications sent to both iOS and Android devices?
Without having deep link you can use notification click handler of react-native-firebase-messaging and pass the data in the notification payload which screen you want to navigate.
Check this link for documentation and make sure you have register background handler in index.js as shown here
useEffect(() => {
// Assume a message-notification contains a "type" property in the data payload of the screen to open
messaging().onNotificationOpenedApp(remoteMessage => {
console.log(
'Notification caused app to open from background state:',
remoteMessage.notification,
);
navigation.navigate(remoteMessage.data.type);
});
// Check whether an initial notification is available
messaging()
.getInitialNotification()
.then(remoteMessage => {
if (remoteMessage) {
console.log(
'Notification caused app to open from quit state:',
remoteMessage.notification,
);
setInitialRoute(remoteMessage.data.type); // e.g. "Settings"
}
setLoading(false);
});
}, []);
I have set up expo notification wherein my app listens to incoming notifications and can execute tasks in the background but my question is how do I bring the app to the foreground upon receiving a notification without the user pressing on the notification first?
Something like this:
import * as Notifications from "expo-notifications";
import * as TaskManager from "expo-task-manager";
const BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATION_TASK = "BACKGROUND-NOTIFICATION-TASK";
TaskManager.defineTask(
BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATION_TASK,
({ data, error, executionInfo }) => {
console.log("Received a notification in the background!");
// Bring the app to the foreground
}
);
Notifications.registerTaskAsync(BACKGROUND_NOTIFICATION_TASK);
The closest thing that you can do, is to create a local notification and encourage the user to press the notification to put the app to the foreground. But the exact thing you are asking is not possible with Android or either with iOS.
I developed react native application with rnfirebase and notifee for sending the push notification. foreground is working properly, message is displayed only once. but the background notification is displaying twice like one is from messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler and another one is android's default push notification. First message is from default push notification and next one is from firebase messaging. So how do I remove android's default push notification. I'm also checked that first default notification is not using the firebase messaging and notifee. It's comes from outside of react native like android's native push notification
The notifications that you are seeing are most likely one from firebase and another from Notifee.
In my project I was handling the notifications that were coming from firebase via firebase.messaging().onMessage and inside this listener I was showing a local notification using Notifee so that the notification shows in the foreground.
async showNotificationInForeground(message: FirebaseMessagingTypes.RemoteMessage) {
const { messageId, notification, data } = message
const channelId = await Notifee.createChannel({
id: messageId,
name: 'Pressable Channel',
importance: AndroidImportance.HIGH,
})
await Notifee.displayNotification({
title: notification?.title || '',
body: notification?.body || '',
data,
android: {
channelId,
importance: AndroidImportance.HIGH,
pressAction: {
id: messageId,
},
smallIcon: 'ic_stat_name',
localOnly: true,
},
})
}
However what was happening was that I was calling this showNotificationInForeground method to show the local Notifee notification on both firebase's background and messaging listeners ie: firebase.messaging().onMessage and firebase.messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler
So what I ended up doing was only calling the showNotificationInForeground method in onMessage listener and not in setBackgroundMessageHandler, which resulted in showing the local notification in the foreground, and the firebase notification in the background.
If this is not the case for you, you are most likely registering an extra notification receiver inside your AndroidManifest.xml file which is causing the duplication
I had the same problem, where there were two notifications a) 1 from notifee (which I wanted to keep) b) from FCM (which I didnt want).
Sending a data only message from my custom server solved the issue. Below is a snippet of the serverside for sending data only message :
const admin = require("firebase-admin");
// Do other stuff like create an express server to listen and trigger sending message
// Note dont forget to to initialize the app
await admin.messaging().sendToDevice(
tokens, // ['token_1', 'token_2', ...]
{
data: {
owner: "Me",
user: "My Friend",
},
},
{
// Required for background/quit data-only messages on iOS
contentAvailable: true,
// Required for background/quit data-only messages on Android
priority: "high",
}
);
You can use other methods as well, just make sure that FCM doesnt include notification and is data only.
Im using react-native-firebase and firebase cloud messaging for remote notifications (v5.6.0), and I have my firebase cloud function's notification payload set. Im trying to set the notification sound for iOS/android. what I have currently is:
exports.sendChatNotification = functions.firestore.document('messages/{document}').onCreate((event) => {
const writeData = event.data();
const { receiverToken, senderName, content } = writeData;
const payload = {
notification: {
title: 'Chat Message',
body: senderName + ' has sent you a message',
sound: 'Complete'
}
};
return admin.messaging().sendToDevice(receiverToken, payload).then((msgDevicesResponse) => {
console.log(JSON.stringify(msgDevicesResponse));
});
});
Currently experiencing this notification sound playing the default for iOS, and am unable to per-select an existing iOS tone, such as "Complete". I understand from reading firebase docs that the 'sound' property of the notification payload only works for the android platform.
Since im using react-native-firebase, I looked at their documentation for Cloud Messaging, and found this Notification object that has iOS and android properties: https://rnfirebase.io/reference/messaging/notification
both platform properties have a sub-property sound, but Im unsure of how to integrate this, considering my notifications are being set in a firebase cloud function, which uses firebase.admin
My goal is to set the iOS notification sound from the os's list of tones. How can this be done?
