I am using @ionic-native/fcm. I can get notifications on the notification tray but the onNotification method is not called while receiving the notification. It is only called when the notification is tapped on the notification tray. below is the code I’ am using:

this.fcm.onNotification().subscribe(data =\> {  
if(data.wasTapped){

} else {

};  
});

My payload for notification is as follows:  
{  
“notification”:{  
“title”:“My notification”,  
“body”:“My notification body”,  
“sound”:“default”,  
“click\_action”:“FCM\_PLUGIN\_ACTIVITY”,  
“icon”:“fcm\_push\_icon”  
},  
“data”:{  
“param1”:“value1”,  
},  
“to”:"/topics/topicExample",  
}
