Is it possible to push local notifications with live data using react native fcm?

Question

Let's say I am building an app that sends push notifications with react-native-fcm using data retrieved from a weather API.

currently, I have this script, but the notifications sent only contains weather information that I retrieved before scheduling, not the most current weather:

FCM.scheduleLocalNotification({
  fire_date: moment().add(5, 'seconds').toDate().getTime(),
  id: '1q2we3',
  body: `${ ...weatherInfo... }`,
  repeat_interval: 'hour',
  show_in_foreground: true
});

even if I were to place 'body' with Date.now(), the notifications sent later will have the date string at the time of scheduling the notification, not the time of the notification being pushed.

TLDR:

Basically I was wondering if it was possible to schedule local push notifications that fetches data before sending the message. If not, what are my alternatives? Thanks in advance!

Does the scheduled notification fire `FCM.on(FCMEvent.Notification, async (notif) => {});`. If so fetch the data and dispatch a local notif from there — Facundo La Rocca, Dec 20 '17 at 15:53
I tried dispatching local notification there but it ended up causing a circular loop — ForestTreeTrain, Dec 20 '17 at 19:38
Yes, Imight be possible. You need some logic to identify what action should be taken based on the receiven notification — Facundo La Rocca, Dec 20 '17 at 19:42
Thank you, after exploring this a bit more, I found that it is indeed possible to do this — ForestTreeTrain, Jan 05 '18 at 18:04
