Description

Considering the following scenario: The app support notifications for more than 1 type, and each type matters and should be managed individually. Thus, entering a specific page as well as clicking specific notification will trigger the app to dismiss related notifications in tray. And I'm feeling it's better to get all current notification in tray independently instead of relying on sending and tracking local notifications as it will lose tracking when the app has been killed on iOS or cleared from task manager / forced to stop on Android.

I have implement FCM.getDeliveredNotifications() for iOS 10 in my fork https://github.com/JaxGit/react-native-fcm/commit/c192fa69f24baa61dda739463b7372baf04dc4b7 , however I am not so familiar with Android and failed to achieve that for api>=23 https://github.com/JaxGit/react-native-fcm/commit/bc8b1bab816208e25f064ce75db130188650bfbf

Any thoughts? Thanks.

Research direction
Investigate how to retrieve all pending notifications on Android (API 23+). The issue poster has a working implementation for iOS in their fork commit c192fa69, but the Android attempt at commit bc8b1bab is incomplete. Look into Android's NotificationManager.getActiveNotifications() and NotificationListenerService for accessing current notifications. Review the react native fcm source code to understand how notifications are handled natively and where to add a new method. Consider checking if any existing PRs address this feature.
