Notifications.getInitialNotification() and RNN 4.2.1

[claudiozam]

Hi, after the new release 4.2.1 the behavior of the implementation changed.
I notice some issues.

Case 1
Dead state (100% dead)
Click on the notification message
App will open again
Notifications.getInitialNotification() no data

Case 2
Dead state (if I close the app with the android back button)
Click on the notification message
App will open again
Notifications.getInitialNotification() returns data

Case 3
Background state
Click on the notification message
App will open again
Notifications.getInitialNotification() returns data

Case 4
Background state
I have 2 notifications.
Click on the last notification message
App will open again
Notifications.getInitialNotification() returns data but from the first notification

This new version does not use the activity that is in Background?

With this change i was able to get the initial push notification payload

public class MainActivity extends ReactActivity {

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    Log.i(TAG, "MainActivity onCreate");
    SplashScreen.show(this);
    super.onCreate(null);

    if(android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.R) {
      Intent intent = getIntent();
      if (intent != null) {
        if(intent.hasExtra("pushNotification")) {
          Log.i(TAG, "MainActivity hasExtra pushNotification");
          intent.putExtras(intent.getBundleExtra("pushNotification"));
        }
      }
    }
  }

I fix the case number 4 adding a unique request code to the NotificationIntentAdapter class.

Intent mainActivityIntent = appContext.getPackageManager().getLaunchIntentForPackage(appContext.getPackageName());
mainActivityIntent.putExtra(PUSH_NOTIFICATION_EXTRA_NAME, notification.asBundle());
TaskStackBuilder taskStackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(appContext);
taskStackBuilder.addNextIntentWithParentStack(mainActivityIntent);
return taskStackBuilder.getPendingIntent((int) System.currentTimeMillis(), PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT | PendingIntent.FLAG_IMMUTABLE);
