Android: onNotification method wont fire when received remote notificatio

This is related to #373
When android receives remote notification, onNotification method wont fire until you explicitly click on notification. Any ideas how to get it fire, once notification was received ?

So, on iOS, that's how it is supposed to work. You don't receive the notification until you actually click the notification itself. I think the thing you may be looking for is called a data notification where you pass in data and not alert into the notification you send from your server. I believe alert triggers a visual alert and the data is a silent alert. I could be wrong, but that is my understanding.

Are you actually receiving the notification on Android when you click the notification? I am not. I can only get it to work on iOS.

My scenario is the following (testing only on Android for now):

• the server pushes a notification through GCM.

• if the app is in the foreground, it receives the notification, and onNotification is called twice:
  --- when the notification arrives
  --- upon click
  Means: all good here!

• However, if the app is in the background, onNotification is not called. And it's not called even when I click the notification!

Is this expected to happen?
