Extra step needed when app is not running

Event listener will work fine when your app is in background or foreground. If it is not running, to capture the first event we need to do some extra work. Make the following changes in your MainActivity.java file of React Native app,

package com.yourpackage;

+import android.os.Bundle;
import com.facebook.react.ReactActivity;
+import com.codegulp.invokeapp.RNInvokeApp;

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {
    /**
    * Returns the name of the main component registered from JavaScript.
    * This is used to schedule rendering of the component.
    */
    @Override
    protected String getMainComponentName() {
    	return "testProject";
    }
    
+   @Override
+   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
+	RNInvokeApp.sendEvent();
+   }
}

Usage

import { wakeMeUp } from 'react-native-invoke-app'

wakeMeUp(payload) // pass anything to get it inside appInvoked listener
