title: Handle silent push notification in closed react-native app (Android)?
body: <p>I'm working on a react-native app that is closed the majority of the time. However, I need to be able to send updates from the backend to different clients so they can update local geofences.</p>
  
  <p>I figured I could use silent push notifications for this (using FCM). This appears to work fine when the app is running (either in the foreground or background), but when the app is closed, I am unable to handle these push notifications.</p>
  
  <p>I'm able to handle normal push notifications while the app is closed, because when the user presses the notification, the app is launched and the notification is available as the initial notification, but this isn't an option with silent notifications.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to have my app handle silent push notifications while closed? Either by opening in the background, handling the notification, and closing or by registering some kind of background service?</p>
