DeviceEventEmitter.addListener is not working in Release build for Android.

[nehab5889]

Description

When app is launched from quit state DeviceEventEmitter.addListener is not working in Release build for Android. It is working perfectly fine in Debug build. I have tried using both the methods:

const eventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(NativeModules.RNEventEmitter);
eventEmitter.addListener('EventReminder', event => {
console.log(event);
}

OR

DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('EventReminder', event => {
console.log(event);
}

Android Side Code:

private void sendEvent(ReactContext reactContext, String eventName, @Nullable WritableMap params) {
    reactContext.getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter.class).emit(eventName, params);
}

void checkPayload(Intent intent) {
    String action = intent.getAction();
    if(action != null && !action.isEmpty() && action.equals("NOTIFICATION_PAYLOAD_READ")) {
        String payload = intent.getStringExtra("NOTIFICATION_PAYLOAD");
        ReactInstanceManager mReactInstanceManager = getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager();
        ReactContext context = mReactInstanceManager.getCurrentReactContext();
        WritableMap params = Arguments.createMap();
        params.putString("eventProperty", payload);

        if(context == null){
            mReactInstanceManager.addReactInstanceEventListener(new ReactInstanceEventListener() {
                public void onReactContextInitialized(ReactContext validContext) {
                    // Use validContext here
                    sendEvent(validContext, "EventReminder", params);
                    mReactInstanceManager.removeReactInstanceEventListener(this);
                }
            });
            if (!mReactInstanceManager.hasStartedCreatingInitialContext()) {
                // Construct it in the background
                mReactInstanceManager.createReactContextInBackground();
            }
        }else {

            // App in background
            params.putBoolean("backgroundApp", true);
            sendEvent(context, "EventReminder", params);
        }
    }
}


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    SplashScreen.show(this);
    checkPayload(getIntent());
}

Could you please help with resolving this? I need to emit parameters from native android to react native

Steps to reproduce

const eventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(
NativeModules.RNEventEmitter,
);
eventEmitter.addListener('EventReminder', event => {
console.log(event);
}

OR
DeviceEventEmitter.addListener('EventReminder', event => {
console.log(event);
}

@cortinico I have updated the issue and added the native side code too

Code on React native side:

useEffect(() => {
    // deep link logic for fresh app launch
    if (navPath?.path && isReady && isFirstLaunch) {
        const { path, screen } = navPath;
        checkIsFirstLaunchProp(false);
        if (!isfetchingUserInfo) {
                NavigationService.navigateToScreen(path, screen);
            }
        }
    }
    const eventEmitter = new NativeEventEmitter(
        NativeModules.RNEventEmitter,
    );

    const checkNavigationPath = async (obj, event) => {
        setNavigationState(obj, event);
    };

    // listener for notification
    const eventListener = eventEmitter.addListener('EventReminder', event => {
            const obj = event?.body;
            checkNavigationPath(obj, event);
        });

    // Removes the listener once unmounted
    return () => {
        eventListener.remove();
    };
    // eslint-disable-next-line react-hooks/exhaustive-deps
}, [isReady]);

Android side code:

private void sendEvent(ReactContext reactContext, String eventName, @Nullable WritableMap params) {
    reactContext.getJSModule(DeviceEventManagerModule.RCTDeviceEventEmitter.class).emit(eventName, params);
}

void checkPayload(Intent intent) {
    String action = intent.getAction();
    if(action != null && !action.isEmpty() && action.equals("NOTIFICATION_PAYLOAD_READ")) {
        String payload = intent.getStringExtra("NOTIFICATION_PAYLOAD");
        ReactInstanceManager mReactInstanceManager = getReactNativeHost().getReactInstanceManager();
        ReactContext context = mReactInstanceManager.getCurrentReactContext();
        WritableMap params = Arguments.createMap();
        params.putString("eventProperty", payload);

        if(context == null){
            mReactInstanceManager.addReactInstanceEventListener(new ReactInstanceEventListener() {
                public void onReactContextInitialized(ReactContext validContext) {
                    // Use validContext here
                    sendEvent(validContext, "EventReminder", params);
                    mReactInstanceManager.removeReactInstanceEventListener(this);
                }
            });
            if (!mReactInstanceManager.hasStartedCreatingInitialContext()) {
                // Construct it in the background
                mReactInstanceManager.createReactContextInBackground();
            }
        }else {

            // App in background
            params.putBoolean("backgroundApp", true);
            sendEvent(context, "EventReminder", params);
        }
    }
}


@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    SplashScreen.show(this);
    checkPayload(getIntent());
}
