Titanium: Check iOS notifications upon opening the app without clicking the notification - ios

Question

I am trying to handle push notifications on iOS.
My simple code looks something similar to this:
var Cloud = require("ti.cloud");
var deviceToken = null;
var deviceToken = Ti.App.Properties.getString('deviceToken');
Ti.App.iOS.registerUserNotificationSettings({
types: [
Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_ALERT,
Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_SOUND,
Ti.App.iOS.USER_NOTIFICATION_TYPE_BADGE
]
});
Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener('usernotificationsettings', function registerForPush() {
Ti.App.iOS.removeEventListener('usernotificationsettings', registerForPush);
Ti.Network.registerForPushNotifications({
success: function(e) {
if (e.deviceToken !== Ti.App.Properties.getString('deviceToken', null)) {
deviceToken = e.deviceToken;
Ti.App.Properties.setString('deviceToken', deviceToken)
subscribeToChannel();
} else {
Ti.API.info('Already registered for push notifications!');
}
},
error: function(e) {
Ti.API.error('Failed to register for push notifications: ' + e.error);
},
callback: receivePush
});
});
function subscribeToChannel () {
Cloud.PushNotifications.subscribeToken({
device_token: deviceToken,
channel: 'general',
type: Ti.Platform.name == 'android' ? 'android' : 'ios'
}, function (e) {
alert(e.success === true ? 'Subscribed' : 'Error!');
});
}
// When receieve interactive remote notification
Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener('remotenotificationaction', function(e) {
alert('remotenotificationaction: ' + JSON.stringify(e));
});
// When receieve interactive notification in the background
Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener('localnotificationaction', function(e) {
alert('localnotificationaction');
});
// When receieve interactive notification in the foreground
Ti.App.iOS.addEventListener('notification', function(e) {
alert('notification');
});
function receivePush(e) {
alert('receivePush');
}
For the most part everything works fine. The following happens when I send a remote push notification:
When the app is in the background, a notification appears. Upon clicking the notification, I get the "receivePush" message, as expected
When the app is in the foreground, a notification does not appear, but I still get the "receivePush" message, as expected.
However, when I receive a notification while the app is in the background, and then click on the app directly (i.e. not clicking the notification), none of the above events is triggered!
How can I make sure an event is triggered for the last case.

I don't think this is possible since your callback function is assigned with a notification behavior, not app starting. This is not a Titanium problem but a workflow misunderstanding if you know what I mean.
I think for you is best to always check something when the app starts, not related to notifications.
