Generating local notifications with RN Firebase

[bilaljawed]

Hello,

First of all thank you for the fantastic plugin and the documentation, my question is that: i am sending an encrypted notification through fcm to user which can only be decrypted by users device, i have sent only data property through fcm notification payload because if i include "notification" parameter, the notification pops up automatically, so what i want to do is receive message in the background, decrypt it and generate a local notification with the decrypted message,

I have read that I can use this handler to intercept background message setBackgroundMessageHandler

but how do i generate a local notification

Thank you!

@bilaljawed you must integrate a full-featured notification package like https://notifee.app or one of the free alternatives like react-native-push-notification

Please be aware: iOS does not guarantee delivery of data-only FCM. I won't cover all the related information - if you're doing an encrypted messaging app you are likely capable of searching the issues list for "data-only" and "reliable" and you'll quickly find all the info

Good luck!
