Incoming call screen is not opening from background push listener.

[anjandaffo]

When app is in foreground IncomingCall.display(id, "Toothie", "test"); is working properly.

But when app is in background incoming call screen is not showing. I am getting the push in background and log is printing.
I am using the react-native-notifications library to receive push.

Notifications.events().registerNotificationReceivedBackground(
(notification,completion) => {
const { title, body } = notification.payload;
console.log("Android push notification received in background", notification, title, body);
const id = uuid()
IncomingCall.display(id, "Toothie", "test");
});

the console log is getting print when push is coming in the background. but incoming call is not showing.

I am facing the same problem , IncomingCall is working perfectly when my app is in foreground. But it doesn't want to trigger from the background. I am using firebase to send notification and i am reciving all data while in background but IncomingCall wont display.

messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(async remoteMessage => { console.log('bg message', remoteMessage); console.log('state'+ AppState.currentState); IncomingCall.display('5446465416', 'marko','https://image.shutterstock.com/image-photo/white-transparent-leaf-on-mirror-260nw-1029171697.jpg'); });

any solution for that ?

thanks in advance

Update :

I just tested it on Android 8 and everything works perfectly. But when i start it on android 9 or 10 nothing happens

In android > 9 you had to set autostart and display pop-up window permissions manually to make it works in background.
I'm working on an example project and invest more on other issues this weekend.

@@maloni991 I used the react-native-invoke-apphttps://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-invoke-app to open app from background and killed state. From firebase background message listeners I am calling invokeApp method with data argument. And from "appInvoked" Listener calling IncomingCall.display method. It's working fine on Android 8,9 and 10.

@bkdev98 any update on background issue?

[fachrezamuslim]

@anjandaffo did you get the solution for this?

[anjandaffo]

@fachreza73 I fixed the issue with using another package https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-invoke-app together. From firebase background message listeners I am calling invokeApp method with data argument. And from "appInvoked" Listener calling IncomingCall.display method. It's working fine on Android 8,9 and 10.

i just follow the example project and its working. you need to import function that trigger the IncomingCall.display and call the function when remote message coming (see index.js and App.js in example folder).

thanks for the example @bkdev98

UPDATE: I have two xiaomi phones.. same model and android version but the other one works even the app is in the background and the other one isn't..

Update:
i just notice that my emulator using Android 9. then when i try to assemble build with some devices. the result is :

1. Xiaomi with Android 10, incoming call only work in foreground state
2. Samsung with Android 9, incoming call work for all state (foreground, background, inactive)
3. Oppo with Android 8, incoming call only work in foreground and background state
