Advice, direction on push notifications

Are you using presentationOptions?

As I mentioned above, I am not using presentationOptions. From my testing, how I got things to work when the app is in the foreground, was to create a local notification within the pushNotificationReceived event. See How to implement Push notifications in Quasar with capacitor 3 - #4 by twestrick.

Then within the LocalNotification listener localNotificationActionPerformed, I run the same logic as pushNotificationActionPerformed.
