My React-Native App has a headlessTask that is triggered when device receives an SMS. I want my app to open a screen when the SMS is received, even when app is not running.
I'm familiar with react-navigation, but since a headlessTask is not a component, I can't even send the navigation prop.
What I have tried:
Headless Task use inside component with React Native
the solution above only works if application is open.
P.S. In Native Android, I'm able to achieve this by starting the Activity inside the broadcast receiver.
You can use deep linking.
In your headless task use something like this:
Linking.openURL('example://sms-received/sms-data')
Also you should handle deep links in your app.

In expo android app, I want detect call state if person is picking incoming calls or making outgoing call. What package or method I can use please suggest.
I am using branch io to implement deep linking in our react native app. I am able to navigate to different screens using the deep link from push notification when the app is in background state .
The issue occurs when app is started from fresh state. We have a Splash screen that is the default screen that loads after app starts and some logic is written in it like initializing app location ,verifying the jwt token is valid. Setting app localizations.
After these actions we navigate user to the home screen. In case of using deep link to fresh start the app it skips the Splash screen and navigates straight to the specific screen and in the result the actions we have to perform on Splash screen get skipped.
Please suggest a way to deal with this issue.
I wanted to build an app which can send notifications to the user if he uses a particular app for more than 15 minutes...for this I need to trace which app the user is using even when my react native app is not being used(i.e. it is present in the background). Is there any react native library which can help me to know the app which the user is using in the present?
There's no way to do this. Your app would have to be running in the background at all times, and even then the OS would have to support such a feature.
I want to share URLs from the browser to my React Native app and open them in the app, how can I do that?
This is called deep-linking, that your app launches and even does some actions depending on the called URL of your app. Many apps use it that's how you probably know it.
You can read about this and implement it.
Here is some articles and documentation about it:

I'm developing a Messenger/Call app in React Native. Users can call each other. When all users are online there is no problem but when users go offline (close their app) they won't recognize calls. I need to run a service which listens to a specific types of message pushed by server.
I want to publish call signals by google GSM. (I can't use Firebase for some reasons)
Is there any library which I can use it or I have to define my own native module and Link it to React Native?
