React Native - Background services

Question

I am developing an app using React-Native, and I need to add a background service to check notifications. And I have tried almost all the solutions including Headless JS in the internet and I still couldn't make it. Maybe I'm doing it in a wrong way. Can anybody suggest me anything? (Even when the app is not open)

There are many packages to use which will help you achieve this. As you have not mentioned any of the used packages ill suggest some:

1. https://hackernoon.com/easy-os-background-tasks-in-react-native-bc4476c48b8a

2. https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-background-job

3. https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-background-task

I have used following packages for a Radio app in React native. the following packages helped me achieve all the background related activites even when the app was minimized and another app was used(App running in background process).
