Reproducible Demo

I cannot create a snack as it doesn’t seem to allow for modifying the app.json.

Repository: https://github.com/RodolfoGS/android-pn-stops

How to run the demo

1. Clone https://github.com/RodolfoGS/android-pn-stops
2. yarn install
3. Connect your device
4. yarn android
5. Copy your Expo token from the console
6. Disconnect and lock your device
7. watch -n 30 node push.js "__YOUR_EXPO_TOKEN_HERE__"

You will receive a notification every 30 seconds. Don’t touch your phone and keep it locked and disconnected. After 5 minutes you will stop receive notifications.
It happen when you have useNextNotificationsApi: true or when you are in bare workflow. If you put it in false (managed only) it works.

Steps to Reproduce

If you want to reproduce it creating a new project just follow the next steps:

1. expo init
2. expo eject
3. expo install expo-notifications
4. expo install expo-permissions
5. expo install expo-constants
6. run on your Android device (only affect Android devices)
7. disconnect from the energy and lock your device
8. send a push notification with priority: max, the notification appears.
9. keep the phone locked and wait 5 minutes…
10. send a push notification with priority: max, the notification doesn’t appear.
11. send more notifications, don’t appear.
12. when you unlock the device, all pending notifications appear at that moment.

Expected Behavior vs Actual Behavior

Expected Behavior: the notifications appear at the moment that has been pushed
Actual Behavior: the notifications don’t appear and when the user unlock the phone, the notifications come all at that time.

On expo sdk 36 with expokit works as expected, even when the device has been locked for hours.
