[🐛] Bug/notification tap action issue and background updating badge issue in iOS my android is working fine

[Jeel-Bhad]

Issue

I am using '@react-native-firebase/messaging' this package is completely works well in my android(react-native-app)
but I am facing issue in my ios build - my build is generated successfully but after getting notification I am not able to perform any background task.
my 1st task is to redirect my notification to specific page on notification tap
my 2nd task is to update badge in background while coming new notification

my 2 function is not getting fired in ios while receiving notification let me show my code below
my firebase payload for ios
{
"data": {
"buildingId": "27",
"buildingName": "Jeel",
"childSubfolderId": "0",
"diciplineId": "0",
"folderid": "2",
"groupId": "35",
"isfrom": "SubFolder",
"isgroup": "false",
"ispage": "Chat",
"messageId": "4066",
"receiverId": "267",
"receivername": "Jeel",
"senderId": "271",
"sendername": "Sherin M",
"subfolderid": "55"
},
"from": "810581931372",
"messageId": "1722841496653586",
"notification": {
"body": "fgfg",
"ios": {
"badge": 18
},
"sound": "default",
"title": "Sherin M"
}
}

1)task related to badge update-I want to make an API call
index.js file
import 'react-native-gesture-handler';
import {Alert, AppRegistry} from 'react-native';
import App from './App';
import {name as appName} from './app.json';
import messaging from '@react-native-firebase/messaging';
import notifee from '@notifee/react-native';

//Register background handler
messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler(async remoteMessage => {
console.log('Message handled in the background!', remoteMessage);
dispatch(unReadNotificationCntApi()).unwrap().then((res)=>{
notifee.setBadgeCount(res.data);
}).catch((err)=>{
console.log(err);
Alert.alert(err);
});
});

2)I am not able to redirect my notification after tapping on it and I am calling this below function in my app.tsx file

export async function notificationListner() {
const unsubscribe = messaging().onMessage(async remoteMessage => {

    console.log('Forground : A new FCM message arrived!', remoteMessage);
  });

  messaging().onNotificationOpenedApp( remoteMessage => {
    console.log('tap : Notification from background state:',remoteMessage);
    // You can handle the notification here, for example, navigate to a specific screen based on the notification data
    const fireData=remoteMessage.data
    if(!!fireData?.ispage && typeof fireData?.ispage === 'string' && fireData.ispage.toLocaleLowerCase() == "chat" )
      {
        navigate('SignalR',{
            isGroup: fireData?.isgroup=='true' ? (fireData.isgroup):false,
            receiverId: typeof fireData?.senderId === 'string' ? parseInt(fireData.senderId) : 0,
            userName: fireData?.isgroup ?fireData.buildingName:fireData?.sendername,
            groupId:fireData?.isgroup=='true'? typeof fireData?.groupId === 'string' ?  parseInt(fireData.groupId): 0 : 0,
            isFrom:fireData?.isfrom,
            projectId: fireData?.buildingId ? fireData.buildingId: 0,
            folderId: fireData?.folderid ? fireData.folderid: 0,
            subfolderId: fireData?.subfolderid ? fireData.subfolderid: 0,
            ChildSubFolderId: fireData?.childSubfolderId ? fireData.childSubfolderId: 0
          });
        }else if(!!fireData?.ispage && typeof fireData?.ispage === 'string' && fireData.ispage.toLowerCase() == "approval" ){
          navigate('Document',{
            projectId: fireData.buildingId, 
            folderId: fireData?.folderid, 
            subfolderId: fireData?.subfolderid, 
            ChildSubFolderId: fireData?.childSubfolderId
          })
        }
        else if(typeof fireData?.ispage === 'string' && fireData.ispage.toLowerCase() != "approval" && fireData.ispage.toLocaleLowerCase() != "chat"){
          navigate('Dashboard', {projectId: fireData?.buildingId});
        }
  });

  messaging().getInitialNotification().then( async remoteMessage => {
    await notifee.setBadgeCount(555)
    console.log('quit state : getInitialNotification',remoteMessage);
  });
  return unsubscribe;

}

Describe your issue here

if I want to perform any API call inside the following function I am not able to do that.
even I am not getting this console.log value after coming my notification.
console.log('Message handled in the background!', remoteMessage);
messaging().setBackgroundMessageHandler

for second issue I am not able to fire code inside messaging().onNotificationOpenedApp() function
