MainActivity.java

package com.cool.app;

import android.os.Bundle;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
// Add the following imports
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.WritableMap;
import com.facebook.react.bridge.Arguments;
import com.facebook.react.modules.core.DeviceEventManagerModule;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
  // ...

  // Add from here down to the end of your MainActivity
  public boolean isOnNewIntent = false;

  @Override
  public void onNewIntent(Intent intent) {
    super.onNewIntent(intent);
    isOnNewIntent = true;
    ForegroundEmitter();
  }

  @Override
  protected void onStart() {
    super.onStart();
    if(isOnNewIntent == true){}else {
        ForegroundEmitter();
    }
  }

  public  void  ForegroundEmitter(){
    // this method is to send back data from java to javascript so one can easily
    // know which button from notification or the notification button is clicked
    String  main = getIntent().getStringExtra("mainOnPress");
    String  btn = getIntent().getStringExtra("buttonOnPress");
    WritableMap  map = Arguments.createMap();
    if (main != null) {
        map.putString("main", main);
    }
    if (btn != null) {
        map.putString("button", btn);
    }
    try {
        getReactInstanceManager().getCurrentReactContext()
        .getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter.class)
        .emit("notificationClickHandle", map);
    } catch (Exception  e) {
    Log.e("SuperLog", "Caught Exception: " + e.getMessage());
    }
  }
}

colors.xml

If this file doesn't exist in your android path at android/app/src/main/res/values/colors.xml, add it. This sets the notification color specified in AndroidManifest.xml.

<resources>
    <item  name="blue"  type="color">#00C4D1
    </item>
    <integer-array  name="androidcolors">
    <item>@color/blue</item>
    </integer-array>
</resources>

Usage

Register a Headless Task

index.js

// Import the library
import ReactNativeForegroundService from "@supersami/rn-foreground-service";
import { AppRegistry } from "react-native";
import { name as appName } from "./app.json";
import App from "./src/App.tsx";

// Register the service
ReactNativeForegroundService.register();
AppRegistry.registerComponent(appName, () => App);

Add a Task

ReactNativeForegroundService.add_task(() => console.log("I am Being Tested"), {
  delay: 100,
  onLoop: true,
  taskId: "taskid",
  onError: (e) => console.log(`Error logging:`, e),
});
