Push Notification Does Not Alert When Meteor App Is Active

[panw]

Hi Morten,

I finally got the bar notification working for Android. However, I notice that when I am on the Meteor app the notification does not trigger until I am on a different app or the phone is locked.

Is this an intended behavior?

Push.addListener('message', function(msg) {}); will fire when the app is open - msg is still dependent on platform - I would rather like a uniform consistent behaviour.

Push.addListener('startup', function(msg) {}); will fire if app is opened via a click on notification.

So I've been using different techniques to do this in some of the production apps we've made - but I would like the api to be unified.

Sorry, I'm not certain how to use the listeners to enable notifications while active on the app. Could you please shed some light on this?

I added the listener for messages and startup and they trigger properly based on the event, but the parameter passed in seems to be empty.

Thanks

BTW: Notifications (alerts) for iOS also not work.

@ndevr Do you mean when the app is open? They aren't supposed to.

Are the listeners not working? I haven't tested them yet - will be there later this week though.

[ndevr]

@dennisharrison Yes, when die app is open.

There are no listeners registered. I thought there are pre-registered some.

According to thread #13 @raix mentions that this is expected behavior

[omsharma007]

use this

Push.addListener('alert', function(notification) `{`
     alert( 'App is running in foreground' );
    });
