Stacked on #12051. Android suppressed every agent alert while the app was foregrounded. It now suppresses only alerts for the thread on screen, matching iOS.

The navigation hook synchronously reports the visible thread to the Kotlin FCM handler in a layout effect. The native route is kept in memory so a restarted process cannot inherit a stale route. Grouped alerts target the overview, so viewing one thread cannot silence alerts for the other threads in the group.

Validation: mobile, web and desktop typechecks pass, along with 46 focused mobile tests and 55 relay tests. CI passes on 06dcb14514e, including Check, Test and all three server shards. React Doctor reports no errors.

Release previews include the Expo 58 stack through this PR with Screens 4.28.0. The Screens v5 and Duo layers are excluded.

  • iOS preview, finished: built from 11e75b148bb, with the synchronous route fix published to its matching runtime on the preview EAS Update channel. Relaunch after downloading the update to apply it.
  • Android preview, finished: successfully built from 06dcb14514e. The first Release build exposed a missing Kotlin annotation during R8 shrinking. The SDK layer now suppresses that specific warning; generated ProGuard rules were checked locally, and the cloud Release retry passed with shrinking enabled.

Both use the internal Release preview profile. The maintainer reports the preview works and has authorized merging the Expo 58 stack. The relay change takes effect with the production relay deployment after merge. The Android widget cold-start limitation remains documented in #12046.

Landing validation: mobile and relay typechecks pass, along with 49 focused JavaScript tests and 120 Android native test cases. The native cases cover widget reboot recovery on API 24/36 and notifications on API 24/26/33/36. SwiftLint, ktlint and detekt pass; React Doctor reports no errors. Narrow review fixes were applied in the owning layers before landing.

Foreground Android alerts are suppressed only when the app is resumed and the alert path matches the visible thread. Mobile navigation sends the current pathname to the native module. Alerts for other threads remain visible.

A narrow navigation-transition race can hide an alert for a thread that is no longer on screen. This is a localized notification risk rather than a broad app failure.

Do not persist the on-screen route across process restarts.

threadOnScreen describes transient UI state. SharedPreferences retains it after the process exits. On a later foreground launch, an alert can arrive before JavaScript sends the current route. If that alert matches the previous session’s route, lines 148-150 suppress it although that thread is not on screen.

Store this value only in process memory, with safe visibility between the React and FCM threads. Alternatively, clear it before foreground alerts can be processed on a new process launch.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable β€” This changes the default Android notification experience across native FCM handling, navigation state, and relay payload routing: other-thread alerts now surface while foregrounded and grouped alerts target the overview. The cross-layer production behavior change warrants human review despite focused test coverage.

Notes:

  • Diff unchanged. Approvability was decided on eligibility alone.

Require a non-null visible thread before suppression.

When path is null and an incoming alert omits alert_path, this comparison is true. The handler then suppresses an alert although no thread is on screen.

Read the visible route into a local value. Suppress only when that value is non-null and matches alert_path. Add a test for a resumed app with no visible thread and no alert_path.

Update the Android route in the layout effect.

Stack calls this hook with the current pathname. When navigation changes from thread A to another route, React commits the new route and runs the layout effect before the passive effects. The Android route remains A until the later useEffect calls setThreadOnScreen.

If an FCM alert for A arrives during that window, showAlert can see the app as resumed and A as the native on-screen thread. It suppresses the alert and records its ID as seen, so the alert is not shown after the native route changes.
