Android: Notifications with deeplinks doesn't open targetted view

[kiitos-smasri]

Hello
Am trying to receive push notifications that contains deeplinks from Android device
push notifications are well received but the issue is when clicking on the notification it does nothing
I contacted mixpanel support and they guided me to a native library while am using react-native

https://github.com/mixpanel/mixpanel-android

is there any other solution?

We had to add some extra handling to get this working on Android due to there being multiple push providers (FCM and Mixpanel). If you check the logs the push notification may be coming through but getting muted/ignored. Check out the following resources.

Our custom push handler looks like this:

public class PushProvidersHandler extends FirebaseMessagingService {
    private RNReceivedMessageHandler mMessageReceivedHandler = new RNReceivedMessageHandler(this);

    @Override
    public void onNewToken(String s) {
        super.onNewToken(s);
        MixpanelFCMMessagingService.addToken(s);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
        Log.i("RNPushNotification", "PushProvidersHandler - onMessageReceived!");
        super.onMessageReceived(remoteMessage);
        if (remoteMessage.getData().containsKey("mp_message")) {
            handleMixpanel(remoteMessage);
        }
        Log.i("RNPushNotification", "PushProvidersHandler - begin sending to client");
        mMessageReceivedHandler.handleReceivedMessage(remoteMessage);
    }

    private void handleMixpanel(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
        Map<String,String> params = new HashMap<String,String>();
        params.put("title", remoteMessage.getData().get("mp_title"));
        params.put("message", remoteMessage.getData().get("mp_message"));
        params.put("alert", remoteMessage.getData().get("mp_message"));
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        String json = gson.toJson(params);
        remoteMessage.getData().put("data", json);

        handleMixpanelDeepLink(remoteMessage);
    }

    private void handleMixpanelDeepLink(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
        Gson gson = new Gson();
        String maybeOnTap = remoteMessage.getData().get("mp_ontap");
        if(maybeOnTap != null && maybeOnTap != ""){
            Type dictType = new TypeToken<Map<String, String>>() {}.getType();
            Map<String,String> onTapDict = gson.fromJson(maybeOnTap, dictType);
            remoteMessage.getData().put("deepLinkType", "mixpanelDeepLink");
            remoteMessage.getData().put("uri", onTapDict.get("uri"));
        }
    }
}

AndroidManifest includes:

<service
            android:name="com.myapp.notifications.PushProvidersHandler"
            android:exported="false">
            <intent-filter>
                 <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>
            </intent-filter>
</service>

Hi,
I am facing the issue mentioned above, deep linking not working. I tried the above code snippet but was not able to get it solved.
Also, I would like to know how are you sending the deep link URI from the Mixpanel. Is it via the custom payload?
