[🐛] setBackgroundMessageHandler() only working when app loads - Android 14

[wahas-mughal]

setBackgroundMessageHandler() only receives the events when the app starts, after that it does not receive any event whether it's data only or notification enrich event on Android 14, below Android 14 it's working perfectly.

Project Files

I have the following code in index.js

Javascript

import {AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';
import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';

messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(async remoteMessage => {
console.log('Notification for Background:', remoteMessage);
});

AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);
