Scheduling restart of crashed service [package-name]/io.invertase.firebase.messaging.ReactNativeFirebaseMessagingHeadlessService

[malekmajzoubHT]

Hello, when i have an expo app with firebase messaging installed. This is only happening on android (I have Samsung A34 Android v 15)

Versions:

• "@react-native-firebase/messaging": "^19.3.0"
• "react-native-callkeep": "^4.3.16"
• "expo": "^52.0.47"
• "react-native": "0.76.9"

on app initialization i call

const { IOS, ANDROID } = RNCALLKEEP_CONSTANTS.CONFIG; RNCallKeep.registerPhoneAccount({ ios: { appName: IOS.appName }, android: ANDROID });
so the app is registered as a calling app on android.

When I receive an FCM message notification while the app is in a killed state and I open the app (by pressing th icon in home screen of phone and not from tapping notification), the app launches normally. However, when i kill the app, i see this in my logs

W ActivityManager: Scheduling restart of crashed service [package-name]/io.invertase.firebase.messaging.ReactNativeFirebaseMessagingHeadlessService in 11350ms for start-requested

and the app is stuck on native splash screen (JS code is not reached, i don't see any logs in App.tsx) on the next app launch and following launches. I have to wait a certain amount of time till I can launch the app again.

When I don't call registerPhoneAccount this error doesn't show and the app opens normally the following times.
Why does firebase messaging headless service crash happen only when the app is registered as a calling app and it is force closed?
Thank you for any help you can provide!
