Detached ExpoKit and Headless JS - react-native

Question

Cross-posting from Expo's forums:
I have been having problems trying to get Headless JS task to execute on a detached ExpoKit project (SDK25). I have used the React Native documentation to do this.
I have a broadcast receiver
public class MessageReceivedReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private static final String TAG = "MessageReceivedReceiver";
#Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "onReceive");
if (!isAppOnForeground((context))) {
Log.i(TAG, "Not in foreground");
/**
We will start our service and send extra info about
network connections
**/
Intent serviceIntent = new Intent(context, JSBackgroundService.class);
serviceIntent.putExtras(intent.getExtras());
context.startService(serviceIntent);
HeadlessJsTaskService.acquireWakeLockNow(context);
}
}
...
A HeadlessJS Task Service:
public class JSBackgroundService extends HeadlessJsTaskService {
final static String TAG = "JSBackgroundService";
#Override
protected #Nullable
HeadlessJsTaskConfig getTaskConfig(Intent intent) {
Bundle extras = intent.getExtras();
Log.i(TAG, String.format("getTaskConfig: %s", extras));
if (extras != null) {
return new HeadlessJsTaskConfig(
"Test",
Arguments.fromBundle(extras),
5000, // timeout for the task
false // optional: defines whether or not the task is allowed in foreground. Default is false
);
}
return null;
}
}
My MainApplication implements ReactApplication:
public class MainApplication extends ExpoApplication implements ReactApplication {
private static final String TAG = MainApplication.class.getSimpleName();
private List<ReactPackage> packages = Arrays.<ReactPackage>asList(
// new MainReactPackage(),
new MyReactPackage()
);
private final ReactNativeHost mReactNativeHost = new ReactNativeHost(this) {
#Override
public boolean getUseDeveloperSupport() {
return BuildConfig.DEBUG;
}
#Override
protected List<ReactPackage> getPackages() {
return packages;
}
};
#Override
public ReactNativeHost getReactNativeHost() {
return mReactNativeHost;
}
…
In App.js I have:
…
import JSBackgroundService from ‘./services/jsbackgroundservice’;
AppRegistry.registerHeadlessTask(‘Test’, () => {console.log(“Got it”); return JSBackgroundService; });
export default class App extends React.Component {
…
And JsBackgroundService:
module.exports = async (e) => {
// do stuff
console.log("Running the background service");
console.log(e);
};
Based on logs I know that getTaskConfig is executed but for some reason, I don’t see anything in the console logs, looks like the javascript never gets executed. I have tried also running the Headless JS in foreground for testing purposes but to no avail.
Does anyone have any ideas what could I be doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated :)
